Une petite expérience qui joue énormément sur le malaise et la sensation d'être observé. 👀 Once Upon a Mind: A Little Too Friendly réussit particulièrement bien à installer cette impression dérangeante que quelqu'un ou quelque chose nous regarde constamment. La tension vient surtout de cette sensation de ne jamais être réellement seul, ce qui crée une ambiance assez particulière et inconfortable. L'histoire reste relativement classique et se découvre assez rapidement, mais elle fonctionne parfaitement avec le format proposé. Et honnêtement, je pense que c'est justement ce qui fait sa force : une expérience plus longue aurait probablement fini par devenir répétitive et aurait pu perdre l'impact de son ambiance. Une petite expérience courte, efficace et surtout très bonne dans sa manière de créer un sentiment de malaise sans avoir besoin d'en faire énormément. 👻
Проходится менее, чем за час. При этом вызывает эмоции с первых же минут игры. Спасибо за вызванные чувства отвращения и небезопасности, всё это передано очень неплохо. Однозначно лайк.

An impressive little game with quite a disturbing little story. I was impressed by how the story was presented and the way it mixed up different gameplay elements to produce a cautionary tale about being alone in the big city and people being a tad too friendly. The graphics are fine and it all works without any bugs. The jumpscares are very effective and sparingly used and make sense when they happen. My only slight criticism is that the retail section is a bit clunky and not particularly engaging but they're short sequences and necessary to the story and don't ruin anything at the end of the day. I actually got this game on the strength of the devs upcoming game and it's clear that this is a dev to keep an eye on because they're incredibly inventive. Good job!
A fun short indie horror game. Has nice voice acting but for some reason some lines get spoken while others aren't. It has a few jump scares but the real scary things are what make you uncomfortable. The story in the game tackles what I think people have gone through. While playing the game kinda reminded me of chila's art closing shift and parasocial. So if you like those games then try this one out.
Great little creepy game. NGL I was invested in the story, and if the goal was to make me feel uncomfortable, then you absolutely succeeded in doing so. My chat agrees as well. Very Much Creeped Out. I look forward to your future projects.
This game was incredible, especially for a first project!! So well-made, the voice acting and comic book style cutscenes made the game so worthwhile. Quite a short game but very psychological with a deep meaning behind it, definitely one that will stick with me for a while. Highly recommend for those who are into their psychological horrors :)
Outstanding game! Loved the vibe of being slowly isolated from the characters we meet. Good pacing for the story. Not super scary but the story itself was super creepy. P.s Tom rocks
Fun little horror game. Short and sweet. Good story too...you don't always get that with these shorter games.
Esta bastante bueno y recomendable..
I really enjoyed this game, good jumposcares :D
