Played for 40 minutes, took forever to find last torch. Sprint kept stopping, story isn't entirely captivating, perhaps just needs more voices and some more direction? Interesting designs, but it was hard to play. Sensitivity is also set too fast. Can't wait for an update in the near future, cool ps1 jam.

Amazing concept must play

Fun game to play, interesting story, I will say the forest section needs something done with optimization or offer a setting to cap FPS because my OBS died in that section of the recording. 

Another fantastic game from a fantastic developer. 

Beautifully written notes as usual. Keep up the good work!

This game made my diapers fill, sweat drip into my mole-like eyes, the back of my ears smell like cheese, and my swollen feet turn blue. That's how scary it was... I didn't even make it past the intro sequence.

I really enjoyed the game. Replaying it is hard because you just have to close the game and restart. I like the narrative, the antagonist is scary. great game.

I really enjoyed the game. I tried to replay for the second ending but experienced many bugs. The first bug the totem pole scene never triggered. The second bug the game returned to menu when walking to the building at the beginning. The third bug while collecting totems the game crashed and closed itself.

This is an amazing game. I struggled to escape the forest but eventually got it. Is there a time limit before the other dude comes chasing you? It caught me off guard when I saw him coming towards me. I had a lot of fun playing this. Keep up the good work
