while playing this game, i wore a new pair underwear. turns out they had shit marks on them so i had to return them, and i got a second pair for free. i wore them and they also have shit marks, turns out i was the one leaving the shit marks while i played this game. also im gay

Does 8E2A14 and EVGBFMAFKUFC mean something or a code or is it just random letters and numbers

it for sure means something. i forgot what it was tho

The game is more creepy than scary but I still had a good experience :)

hope i got the job. guess i'll know soon. can't wait to get a submissive doppelganger gf

letter arrives tomorrow y’all !!!!!!!

next year maybe

My letter's coming tomorrow guys wish me luck

BORING GAME

(+2)

THEN DONT PLAY IT

it's not loading at all for me… any suggestions ??

try a different browser or maybe download the PC version?

Playing this on april 21th gotta be the scariest part of it.

did you know your parents are siblings?

Man, I just eat this stuff up. I think it's lacking a bit of the subtlety that separates the good from the great, but it's hard to really nail that in such a short experience. Fantastic work all the same.

yeah i took more of a stream of consciousness approach while making it if that makes sense. didn't really have time to put too much thought on the story. any specific example of this lack of subtlety you mention?

(5 edits)

It does make sense, and If that method keeps you creating, then stick with it! Hell, it makes the turn out all the more impressive since you made it while just going with the flow. The poem at the end specifically is really the only thing I'd critique. Rather than have it given all at once, I think it would have better served the experience to feed it passage by passage throughout the entire experience. I think the pacing for the distorted images was handled well, but would have served as a prime opportunity to add in the story piecemeal. Perhaps something along the lines of having the text appear when the player tries to choose an option, then disappear once the passage is displayed, allowing the player to actually make their choice and progress. 

As some extra spice, I think having the player click their choice beforehand to no effect at all would be effective, too. Have a sound cue so they know the game was registering their input, but to no avail. After the second or third click, the passage would then display. Using that anymore than twice would lead the player to expect it, so less would be more here, but I think it would add well to the atmosphere. Overall, I think this would help to better pace out the delivery of the story while also further disjointing the normalcy of progression through the questions. It also would have fit with the delivery of the police call, I feel. 

When the majority of the story is given right at the end, it just makes it feel at odds with the otherwise slow and steady build up of the rest of the game. It goes from letting the player speculate about what may happen to simply telling them directly without any kind of stopgap. Some of the best analog horror I've seen over the years, along with much of the ones found wanting, are seperated largely in part by this. Obviously, that's just my take, and I hope I'm not coming across as rude. 

I definitely get that it would be hard to work that smoothly into the experience as it is at present, given its length. If your next project has similar things, those would be the only recommendations I really have on offer. Hope it helps or gives you an idea or two!

Mandela Catalogue?

I loved this game!!

(-1)

This was wicked cool! probably my favourite analog horror game. Excelent work

(+1)

Incredible and very inspiring. The modified pictures of faces were perfect. Even the more tame one, when you take a second look there's something eerie about each of them. Great job!

The flow of the game is quite interesting
(+3)

okay so the topic was interesting but i dont like it on a game, kinda boring! 4-/10

this is something you never got to experience=

(+2)

It has a creepy / eerie feeling. I liked it but was hoping that more would have happened. Keep up the good work^^

(+1)

I love how this is almost like analouge horror especially since I used to love analouge horror (I still do) and this is good for my short attention span too lol <33
