The player comes for sharp emotions, and hourly walking and contemplating furniture in the dim light of a flashlight is not the most interesting activity.
And this is 99% of the gameplay.
I would advise to work on the narrative design and game scenario, thus making the gameplay more intense and interesting.
Add screamers and enemy/enemies.
Add backstory that says:
1) what is the player doing here
2) how the player got here
3) what are the goals of the player.
Without this, the game becomes incomprehensible and boring.
And to shorten the gameplay a little due to the intensity of the developing game scenario.
Very well put. I was also annoyed by how the game does not navigate you at all so you have to figure out everything on your own.
Especially the mid parts, where the game has these" horror sessions" where you have to wait until the whole session is played out. Instead of uncut session where we have to endure the horror for few minutes straight, game could lead us to that.
I also think there are way too much objects that are put for "inspect" . I think it was obsolete since it had nothing to do with story or gameplay.
The rest of the part I had problems with, you have already mentioned it so I dont think i will elaborate on that.
I can tell this game was made with love, there was a lot of attention to detail here. The ghost was creepy, the house had a decent layout and the plot was straightforward.
Absolutely great horror game! The setting created a really uncomfortable feeling all the time. It has a great mix of psychological horror and some jump scares. Had so much fun playing it and will definitely check out more of your games! Great job!
Loved everything about your game, the beautiful graphics and classy home design as well as the pacing of the horror story. I'm curious so I liked that I could open everything and pick it up. The scares were really well done too. I never got too lost and I always wondered what would happen next. Great game, thanks :)
(3rd game) this was the longest and best game i played in this video. absolutely horrifying and it got me on many occasions. will definitely look at new projects from you guys!

I made a playthrough on the game too if you're interested :)
I played the demo about a year ago, so this release has been on my list for a while! I like how the game has been expanded, with more doom and gloom moments to trigger. Definitely got some spooks outta me! I agree with the comment below, more involvement with the security cam would've been awesome! My only suggestion for future projects is to figure out how to make the monster move and appear even more creepy. A nasty crawl or peering around the corner would scare the crap outta me, versus a jumpscare glide.
Just played your game on my channel! I really enjoy the length and ideas that you have going on here. I really wish there was more going on with the security camera stuff, that was super interesting in my opinion. Still, great game! I was surprised at the length. I had a great time playing. Thanks for making it!
It Will not work at all I double-click on the unreal icon after unzipping the game and it leaves me stuck at a black screen with the bottom bar on windows 10 still showing. Really wanted to play this too. Hope I get a chance in the future. The graphics look nice.
A very nicely done experience with an excellently spooky atmosphere. Interesting gameplay though the triggers to progress can feel obscure and linear at times. Still very well done and shows a lot of promise.

I played this game and i enjoyed it i will bring your content to my youtube video soon can't wait to see the future games you put out keep up the good work
Honestly this was one of the scariest games I have ever played!! I played it a couple months ago when it was early access and not done and I had a lot of fun just doing that, even tho the game was significantly shorter and not nearly as scary. Now it is a lot longer and it is ten times as scary and I loved it!! I was freaking out like 80% of the time and it was super funny! Thanks for letting me play it, I had an absolute blast!!
I played both the demo and full version of this game and I like how it turned out. Great suspense throughout the game and although the ghost wasn't an actual threat, she was still pretty intimidating every time she popped up. A nice short horror experience.
A pretty fun game. I was on the edge of my seat for most of the playthrough. Good scares here and there, and I appreciate a game that has a good balance of leading the player, but also forcing you to figure it out yourself. It never got too confusing, and any blank stretch of gameplay was figured out in a matter of minutes. Also, kudos to your decoration of the HQ residential house! I recognized some of the other assets but had no clue it was the HQ house until the credits rolled.
My only critique for improvement would be in the climax scene; I just feel more could be done with it. I like the idea, just think (as I say in the video) that it could use more oomph. Perhaps some extended version of it with a jump scare or two to spice things up. Overall though, I very much enjoyed my playthrough, and thanks for letting me enjoy your game. Thumbs up!
The start of this game is however the actual gameplay. It was really scary, but I must admit, I never got that inert feeling of danger. I would whish the monster was a little more erratic, or a little more sudden in her movements. Much like a spider. Perhaps she could have crawled on the roof. It becomes a little repetitive towards the end.
But the experience was overall good. The mechanics worked well, the game was somewhat guided so that you do not get stuck.
review: This is atmospherically terrifying I was a bit too scared to sprint xD definitely enjoyed it though the sounds were on point and it was dark as heck. I wish there were more movement scares though those are the ones that always get me sheesh without spoiling there was one part that got me cause of the movement. Well done!

This game was just the right amount of spooky. I loved it.
Awesome game, great jumpscares and graphics super job. Shaved a few years off my life.
This game almost made me cry it was TERRIFYING!
Not bad horror.
Level design is very good.
But, the gameplay is not finalized.
The player comes for sharp emotions, and hourly walking and contemplating furniture in the dim light of a flashlight is not the most interesting activity.
And this is 99% of the gameplay.

An interesting game. Had fun testing it.

Hey man, is there an option to change resolution?
