I really enjoyed this game! Was well made I didn’t encounter any bugs! And absolutely loved the escape room style gameplay. As someone that doesn’t care for escape rooms irl this was so much more enjoyable! Unraveling the story with the gameplay was also great! I also loved that this did not have jumpscares! I will be looking forward to more games you put out! My gameplay here! I'm trapped in a Serial Killers Basement and trying to escape SLACKJAW https://youtu.be/o8s2RsVoiW4
地下室から脱出するのが目的の短編ホラーゲーム 雰囲気は良いのですが ボリュームが少ないのが残念 本作がSteam第一作目みたいなので 今後に期待してギリおすすめにしておきます
Poor performance hindered this game. Puzzles are a little more than a basic point-and-click variety. Not worth any price in my book.
Okay okay so this is a tough game to review because the experience itself was really cool. Very atmospheric, decent enough puzzles, solid story, tense enough to be considered horror, but not so tense that it's unapproachable. It's a fun experience that I enjoyed playing, but at $9 for a game that I completed in exactly 60 minutes is a pretty terrible value. It's just way too short and not THAT good of an experience. Like in a few months time, I'm not going to think back on this game. So for full price, I can't really recommend it, if you come across it on sale, I can easily say it's a fun bite sized game

not cool
i mean for 2 bucks this is a great game to just have some fun my stream liked it
This is a neat little game. Great graphics, spooky atmosphere, nice original soundtrack. I don't mind it being short, though I feel like if it were an anthology based on different serial killers with different rooms, it would serve better as a "complete" game, especially for the escape room style. All in all, if you have an hour and a few bucks to kill, it's a worthwhile little puzzle. $9 isn't a lot, but I would probably recommend getting on sale. One thing to note, which I asked the dev about - if you're experiencing a UE5 fatal error on boot, reset your shader cache. Not ideal to have to "fix" the game before you can play it, but at least there is a fix. Another thing, which drove me mad for a good 10 minutes. [spoiler] When you find the jar with the license, it is so absolutely not obvious that you have to inspect it and turn it at a specific angle to get it out. I had originally inspected it, but used keys to turn it completely upside down, which didn't prompt the action to remove it. So when you realize you need the license, and all you have is a hammer with a jar, you naturally assume there must be a way to use them together to get it out. My only real critique of the gameplay.
