Hello again! I really enjoyed your game, it definitely gave me a few good spooks but was also really moving as well in the way you told your story as it unfolded. I made a let's play of your game here~
Not going to lie i went into this just expecting another generic horror game but this actually had one of the best (and saddest) stories i've seen all year so far. Awesome job this is going to be the first video i don't edit anything out off.
Wow... Tbh Idk what to say with this game but that it's very beautiful. The experience is very saddening and I couldn't imagine how it would be like. It looked fairly nice as well and the effects made it feel unnerving which was nice. All in all, I think you guys have a fairly nice little story game here, a very good project indeed. Video:
I cannot express how much I enjoyed this game enough. When I came to the end of the game and came across the boombox radio telling me to step outside of myself, and then the credits began. I was hit with hundreds of thought provoking questions as well as so many raw emotions towards this game. Initially I went into this with such a deep reverence for the game because of the disclaimer, but also because of the music. Troy, Brady, Matthew, Nick, Ben, and Sacha each of you added a little bit of soul which gives this game its meaningful ending. I was shocked at how immersed I became around such a simple concept of a game, yet I couldn't help it. It was as if I was suddenly lost in the world you built, and if that monster from Milli's diary popped out, I would have been screaming. I'll say one last thing and that is the atmosphere of genuine emotion you bridge between the player and the game, never did I feel like I was in a stranger's body. It was I who had lost my wife to cancer and perhaps my daughter. You ultimately made me feel responsible in a stranger's life, and for that you are all truly talented developers. Please keep me in the loop on any upcoming projects through YouTube , GameJolt, or itch.io because I would love to play, review, and help get your games out to the public to the best of my abilities. For now, I must bid you a GOOD EVENING and a GOOD NIGHT!
I''m really surprised I missed this one! For a story driven walking simulator, I was not expecting some of the bits that came later and they served as a really great change of pace. Though I don't know if I'd call this a horror game. Sure there are some startling transitions and the contextual use of the voices can be a bit unnerving, I didn't think any part was scary. It all came across as a reasonable representation of grief, depression, anger, denial, etc. The gameplay was a little underwhelming and lacked some player direction at times, but it more than served its purpose. The story and narrative design are definitely what carried it. Overall, great work!
Thank-you so much! We are actively working on improvements to player direction and will be implementing them as soon as possible. Also, we hope to tweak some of the initial gameplay to make it more interesting and foreshadow what is to come. We walk a fine line between psychological walking simulation and horror elements so we thought best to tag it as horror, just in case! Thank-you for playing and the excellent feedback!
We are aware of some players having performance issues. If you fall under this category and have the time, please respond here with the issues you suffered as well as an outline of your PC specs. We will work on optimisation as soon as possible. Thanks!
*Spoilers* My framerate dipped a bit around the basement torch and outside and there appeared to be a slight tearing around some of the objects that I couldn't tell if it was intentional or not.
Hey CoalFire! Thanks for playing and the awesome video! I'll take a look at those problem areas tonight. The tearing is likely due to some of our post processing stack and we will try to add the option to toggle them on and off.
This was a very heartfelt experience. Definitely one of the saddest games I've played recently. It's tough dealing with loss and everyone deals with it differently. It's always good to have hope and positivity in dark times like these, and this game really pushes that. The execution and storytelling was brilliant. I loved the visuals and ambiance. I recognized some of the tracks, but it didn't really have any effect on the experience. Thank you so much for making this!

I really enjoyed this little game! No one should ever have to go through that. Period.
This was a real adventure. I love how the story-craft weaved this game into a good play. The voice acting was a very nice touch.
Check out my gameplay below if you have some time, I did a full playthrough:
I'd call this a real horror, it was deep and the ending was light.
A good story of recovery.
That was quite a different story to what I was expecting but at least the ending was a good type of difference. 5/5.
