most indie horror games these days are copy paste boring not scary low effort games but damn, this game was actually creepy asf. Congrats man, not a lot of people can make a game as scary as this. Can't wait for the full game
There was a Kafka-esque, creepy quality about the Silk Bulb Test that had me enthralled throughout. Does it actually matter if you press the correct buttons? Who knows.
The sound design was great, really immersive and had me checking behind my shoulder at every whisper or strange noise that I heard. It would be intriguing to find out how this is going to play out as a full game - I feel like I didn't find 'everything' in this demo and usually that means once I'm done, I'm out. But I may go back to this and find out what I'm missing.
Great game though, and very special days await in the future.
Today was indeed very special...this game was a lot of fun! It had me on edge, especially after that first scare! I enjoyed the test and also the roaming around! Great game and I can't wait to see the full version!
Absolutely loved this. Chills throughout. I was a bit too much of a "rule follower" because I was so uncomfortable, but I can't wait to get back in and investigate everything I missed! It is a true talent to create such a feeling of discomfort and tension, paired with great pacing, visuals, and sound design it leaves the player wanting more! I can't wait for the full release! Well done!
thank ya my dude! loved the video. without spoiling too much - there's a bit left to play. the "calibration" reset should be *retried* if ya catch my drift.
dude i am LOVING your playthroughs and your attention to detail.
that said, Im apprehensive about telling you this because i don't want you to spend an hour running around in those dark hallways...but there *is* maybe possibly something worth finding down there in the dark.
Well I do need to return to unlock all the achievements, maybe I'll wait until the next added content update and remind myself to look for whatever it is
This game really left me feeling uncomfortable and I want more. I was very tense the whole time but still couldn't look away. I loved this so so so much! I can't want to see what else to make and will play all of them! Great work. Thank you for sharing your work with us.
hey man i really love the concept of this game and others seem to think so as well, however i have not been able to play this due to the intense flashing lights. if its possible to add a setting to either tone down or turn off the flashing in the settings i would be able to play your game. thank you :) <3
absolutely! i actually added a patch a few days ago that adds a "gameplay" tab in the options menu - which should toggle on/off the strobe effect. Let me know if that works for ya :)
of course! lemme know if it works, I still havent had anyone confirm that it successfully negates the strobe effect, ive just tried it on my end. So be careful if it can trigger anything on your end!
me and a friend finally got around to playing it and what can i say its really good we especially love gaping mouth guy towards the end propper scary and the settings do work thank you so much i,m exited to see what you come up with next :)
This game was phenomenal, I adore analog horror and this hit all the points for me, the atmosphere, sound design, I was covered in goosebumps by the end. So to the developers, you guys are on the right track and I hope you guys make it even longer and more terrifying, because this is amazing
I also recorded myself playing it as well so you guys can see how I react haha
This was one of the greatest test games I’ve ever played! Not only were the questions eerie/ominous, but it was also downright terrifying. I played it as a part of my Half Hour Horror video and it was the perfect closer. Amazing work!
Thanks man, that means a lot. Still thinking about the experience I had with your game, it was that good. You're an amazing developer with awesome potential. Keep up the great work.
One of the Best Test like games i have ever played its soo high quality and its very spooky. I like how the test tried to actually mess you up by the pattern. This Game is Awesome! 10/10. The sound design of the game is amazing as well! I would recommend below is my playthrough of the game
Hi, I'm looking for a little known game where the story is not told directly or there is a backstory that is explained through clues and hidden details to make a video on YT, and as you said you've played a lot of horror games, can you recommend one to make a video of it? Thank you :D
youre the only person ive seen thus far that watched the entirety of the creepy face jumpscare. ha i spent so much time on that silly animation - im glad someone got to appreciate it.
hell ya dude! I commented on ya video too but wanna double check - when did you record this?? The strobe effect is supposed to only last for that single video frame - and the bttons are *supposed* to be disabled until a specific event. Something got all screwy and the buttons allow ya to move forward, allowing the strobe effect to continue LONG past when its supposed to stop. Ideally, i caught it after a day - but if its still going strong, I gotta fix that ASAP.
This is really high quality and well put together analog horror game you made here. I look forward to seeing more from you and can't wait to see the full game
I am starting to really love analog horror games :) I thought this was a complete game lol I spent so many hours trying find secrets . This is only the demo though :) I actually really enjoyed this game and cant wait to see more of it !

Your Pal,
Scotty Blades Youtube Monster Hunting Champion.
Wuv u
damn peepaw, those are some of the nicest things anyones every said about my work. youre a champ and a i love ya. thanks my dude.
Hi, I'm looking for a little known game where the story is not told directly or there is a backstory that is explained through clues and hidden details to make a video on YT, and as you said you've played a lot of horror games, can you recommend one to make a video of it? Thank you :D
I really enjoyed it, good work :)
thank you so much for playing :)
I will say - you should *retry* it and see what happens, there might be more?
Very creepy game. Good experience.
youre the only person ive seen thus far that watched the entirety of the creepy face jumpscare. ha i spent so much time on that silly animation - im glad someone got to appreciate it.
<3 thanks for playing
what a riiide, man!! This is the best game of its kind so far imo. I really had a fun time playing and making this video!
hell ya dude! I commented on ya video too but wanna double check - when did you record this?? The strobe effect is supposed to only last for that single video frame - and the bttons are *supposed* to be disabled until a specific event. Something got all screwy and the buttons allow ya to move forward, allowing the strobe effect to continue LONG past when its supposed to stop. Ideally, i caught it after a day - but if its still going strong, I gotta fix that ASAP.
This is really high quality and well put together analog horror game you made here. I look forward to seeing more from you and can't wait to see the full game
thanks for playing!
just for the record, if ya "retry" the end part (when the test quits to the menu) there may be more to it! Just a thought.
also, if you quickly look up after pressing the buttons during the end part, you won't get caught :)
"thats some bullsh*t"
for some reason, that got me good.
thank ya my dude. loved watchin ya playthrough
I am starting to really love analog horror games :) I thought this was a complete game lol I spent so many hours trying find secrets . This is only the demo though :) I actually really enjoyed this game and cant wait to see more of it !
Ha I added a secret in the dark after reading this comment - wanted there to be something worth looking for.
So thanks for looking :)
aww :) Thats awesome , thanks! Ill go back in and see if I can find it lol
