I loved this game, it wasn't over the top with jump scares. The jump scares were timed perfectly and I was not expecting ANY of them which was amazing. The graphics were amazing, I always love when graphics are like this in any game. this game did it really well. Overall an amazing game, would love to see a longer and bigger game in the future!
short game but loved the whole thing, will definitely be on the lookout for more! follow the twitch for the gameplay @chorizotaco_
Amazing gameplay!!!! Great story!! Loved this game!
Great game that is well designed and is pretty spooky. The game is pretty easy and not too hard with the puzzles but it is very short however and it took me like 15 mins to beat it. For a $1 game this is pretty good https://youtu.be/qiRAiCQEp48
This reminded me of Are You Afraid of the Dark. Quick, campy, and fun. The walking controls feel a little janky, but it's still easy to interact with everything. And with it being less than $1, you could easily pay more to have less of a good time with some other game.
Great first title from Zapster! It had been so long since I'd played any isometric games that it took my brain a minute to get used to the movement again. In only 30 minutes, the game gave me some unexpected scares! Definitely recommend if you like supporting indie horror!

this is such an incredible debut game! the art and story line are truly so refreshing to see in a sea of repetitive and uninspiring games. can't wait to see more from you dev! so exciting!!
Great game! Short but worth the price. Looking forward to more game
This game is short and sweet, with riveting puzzles that are satisfying to piece together. The hints lead you without holding your hand, and there's a few that really stumped me longer than expected. It's wonderfully crafted and shows amazing promise for future projects by this creator!
