mama I'm scared

Short but very well made. Hope this developer makes more soon.

There's really no horror here. But it's a decent little 20-minute walking simulator with a nebulous story. [h1]The Good[/h1] +Looks great +Nice music (i.e., the non-public domain stuff) +Didn't run my rig hot like so many little indie games like this [h1]YMMV[/h1] ~Took a literal minute to start game. Had to check Task Manager to confirm running. ~Forced WASD, but you don't need much more than the forward key ~Was actually pretty relaxing, rather than scary ~One baby jumpscare? Just a little startle, really. ~No achievements ~Can't pause, which is an annoyance if you have to be an adult. I play short games like this purely [u]because[/u] I get interrupted so often with real life. [h1]The Bad[/h1] -A number of objects obviously clipping into one another -There was no indication in the last room that my lantern went out. I thought the game just faded to black, so I missed part of the final scene. There should be a sound or visual effect to differentiate a lantern failure vs a screen transition. Played on: Win11Pro, i7-14700K, RTX5060 Ti 16GB, 32GB DDR5-6000 @ 1920x1080 using KB&M

Seemed like an interesting game but it froze up the first time loading it. Then it loaded, but the controls lagged, then when I went to sleep the game froze up again and I had to get out of it with CTRL ALT DEL. There were no options to tone down the graphics in case that was the problem. Wish I could play this game. Very atmospheric and fun, and I love how they set the mood with the old Edward G Robinson movie playing on the TV at the beginning. Oh well...

Clean work, nice! Keep up your good work <3

This game gives "I'm being hunted by Billionaire's for sport" vibes. Honestly pretty good walking sim. Love the designs and audio. At first I was under the impression its a demo then found out this is the whole thing and was a little sad. I wish there was more to it and more backstory because it had me invested and wanting more.
