Good Game!
Interesting game, I have some strane things happening in the game, like a green little fella looks like the guy from the Legend of Zelda AAAND an Enderman!!!
The most strangest nigtmare I had.
good game i enjoyed it
A pesar de ser corto, me dio buenos sustos, lo jugué en mi video de tres juegos randoms y me gusto, aunque la parte final fue algo fácil y anticlimática
this was a creepy and short horror game the first monster reminded me of zelda keep up the good work and i hope that you enjoy the gameplay
The monsters were simple yet I still got scared. very fun game I enjoyed it. Video starts at 12:37
I was certainly in suspense, even after the first spook! Silly yes, but I had a good time. Please keep creating! Excellent for a first game, I look forward to seeing where you go from here! I enjoyed it! Yours is the first game in the video.
Almost fell of my chair :D
German Gameplay here ↓
Really cool and creepy:) yours is the first video
The cheep jumpscares got me every time haha
I think if you want to use an established IP or horror 'entity' in a game, you have to make the hard decision of trying to establish it anew or create a fan game. I feel a fan game around ben drowned would be ideal here, as the experience is fairly short and you could have reused the entity in a "weeping angel" style towards the end (instead of an enderman-esque entity). I feel with a little more lore or swapping models, it would be a better experience. Thanks for the game! Linked at the time I played for convenience.
Fun short horror game
good ambient dark for players
Cool but short.
Thank you!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed
Nice little game. Great job for a first game!
I appreciate it!
Thank you! I liked watching your gameplay :)
Had a very good atmosphere to it, nice little jumpscares too. Good first game, 10/10
Loved watching the video! Thanks for trying the game out!
loved it bro! Nice job
Great video! Had a good time watching you play through!

I appreciate the feedback! This game wasn't originally supposed to be centered around Ben Drowned but now I'm thinking I should've added a bit more lol.
It’s all good, I just assumed it was more based around Ben Drowned going into the game. Even without the heavy references though, you still did a phenomenal for your first game. As with any first attempt there’s still some fixes and tweaks to be made but that’s all part of the learning process. You got some amazing potential though, keep up the good work.
Nice little game, keep it up!
Thank you! I'm glad you were able to get a video out of it :)
This game was a lot of fun and I like the little messages
P.S. This is the second game in the video
That was super entertaining to watch! Great video
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it and hope you stick around to watch more!!
I will be playing this live 10/2 around 6-630 PM EST =D
Thank you, I appreciate it! :)
For your first game this was great! Good work :)
So glad you liked it!
I was not expecting that :D great start dude not bad for your first project!
Thank you! I loved watching your playthrough. Super entertaining!
If this is your first game it wasn't bad I'll look forward to play more of your games
Thank you so much! I am currently working on making a new game with much more story and gameplay
I'm looking forward to playing it.
Good Job
Thank you! I appreciate it! I'm glad you were able to make a video for your channel with my game :)
Thank you for playing the game through! I enjoyed watching your gameplay :)
I've had a chance to play tons of games, which were the first projects for the developers and I have to say this is one of the best so far.
The game truly captures the simplicity of horror - you have a task, you have to complete the task, you have to avoid "it", done. Perfect execution! The atmosphere was definitely spooky, the character was fun to play and the scares were actually solid. Surprised this is your first game, because you did an amazing job with it.
Best of luck with the future projects. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I put a lot of time into making this so the support is very much appreciated!
Very good execution of the tutorial on youtube :) Keep up the good work.
I appreciate it! I tried to put my own twist on it by adding a some different variables :)
I really loved the camera bobbing you made. Like I said, Keep up the good work! I wish you a great day.
That means a lot, thank you again! I wish you a great day as well.
