If I understand correctly this game is inspired by The Shining/Ringu/The Grudge ? (Might just be my imagination :p)
The developer seems like someone who has goals and knows how to achieve them... I think for a one-man project, it's pretty good. If this was on Steam , I would have bought it.
+ The game works.
+ Runs smoothly.
+ Interesting enough to complete.
+ I love the ghost (:
+ I love the idea with the diary.
The only negative thing I see about the game is that there is no story. I understand that it's probably hard to squeeze a well-developed story into a 20 min game... But the game appears to be devoid of any context.
- How and why did I get get to this place ?
- Who is the ghost ?
- What does she want ?
- Why is she tormenting the player ?
These are just some of the unanswered questions that I was left with after completing the game. You already have a really interesting idea of being trapped by a snow storm , getting instructions from a diary... That's a HUGE potential for a good horror story you can tap from.
Hey BioXide, we had a ton of fun with this one. What you accomplished in a few days is impressive! We'd love to see that enemy more fleshed out in another game.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (likes and subs are highly appreciated)):
Advantages:
1. The game was so scary! The pacing was good and the ambiance was srong. I was afraid what's going to happen at the beginning of every night (except, maybe, the first night). Very well done!
2. The girl is very creepy. I think it's a very good character model. It reminded me a lot of Pacify, though. Still, she was very naturally animated and was very creepy. Sometimes if monsters are a bit funky then the game ceases to be scary. Well, this is not the case.
3. I loved how well-thought the nights are. Firstly, the player has to get acquinted with the place which helps out immensly during the following nights. I think, that's a very smart game design. Great job!
Disadvantages:
1. Though, being familiar with the place helped a lot, during some chapters it was still too dark. I wish it would be a tiniest bit brighter so at least the player would be able to know whether they are looking up or down. Once the player gets lost, it feels almost impossible to find the way back or to other rooms.
2. The notes are weird. Somehow the player can read them in pitch black AND how come it doesn't bother the main character that each day the notes appear to be different. So, someone comes at night, stared at the sleeping main character and leaves a creepy note. I think I would be bothered a bit if I were the main character.
3. I wish there were more endings. For example, one where the girl wins and one where the main character manages to destroy her. Maybe to reach good ending, the player would have to find additional notes and complete additional tasks each night or something like that. Anyway, that would add replayability to the game and would generally be awesome.
Overall:
That was just great! I was scared and amazed as I didn't expect the game to be as scary. Thank you so much for developing this masterpiece and reading my comment) I rate the game 5/5.
This game did an excellent job of ramping up the tension. Each day I was wondering what fresh hell I was going to experience, and I was never disappointed. The sounds were on point, and seeing the creature emerge from the TV was just as terrifying as you'd expect.
This game was hell incarnate, or something close. I could not finish it---I hated every single thing about this game. It left me feeling unsettled, uncomfortable, unclean, and unhappy. I feel like this game is cursed---like there is an untangible evil in it that no man or woman should ever have to face. Please dont play this game, or do---just be warned you might die, in 7 days.
This is really good. Honestly, the only thing I didn't like about it were the footsteps. They kinda sounded like a bouncing ball but really, that was the only fault I found, which of course didn't take away from the experience. It was weird and disturbing, not really filled with random jump scares which I really liked. The quality of the meshes too, that was impressive. Stay safe and I wish you guys the best. :)
After seeing your comments on others - Calling them "Fucking Pathetic" - your input is meaningless. I always welcome feedback and fully accept that some people dont like louder reactions in content. however there are larger channels like jackscepticeye who still thrive on that premise despite what people with differing opinions may feel or say. however this was just a blatant spout to be rude over the internet. As one of the first videos I made on my channel and it was/is one of my many learning curves I have ahead of me. I appreciate another perspective however your attack on the number of views is pointless.You have commented positive words on videos with no commentary and less views. Less views for channels with WAY more subs than me mind you. Maybe another perspective to have is that my content just doesn't mesh with your sense of entertainment, No issue you cant please everyone and i don't expect to. Thankfully I have continued to grow and learn each and every day. Going forward if you feel the need to critique someone do so with kindness. While the comment on my video wasnt as harsh, you were outright demeaning to others and add no value to their learning process. Good luck to you.
Noticed a spelling error early on in the game. It mentions the front door won't "barge" which should be "budge". Other than that, so far so good :) love the atmosphere.
I don't remember because it's been a while since I've played but is it spelled like that, 'b-a-r-g-e'? If so, it's spelled correctly. Maybe you meant 'barge' was used incorrectly when it should've been 'budge'?
I think the dev used ‘barge’ because it can be used as a verb, meaning to move into something with force, as in, “It’s rude to barge into my room like that.” But, yes, ‘budge’ is the word that should’ve been used.
No, I don't think that is the case. The line is "This door won't barge. It's like if it was frozen entirely." Very clearly in context of "budge". Barge does not make grammatical sense to be used there. Should technically be closer to "This door won't budge. It's like it's completely frozen."
Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m saying. I’m saying that he used ‘barge’ because he thought it was the correct word to use in that context, but it’s incorrect because the context of the sentence is that the door is immovable due to being frozen that it won’t even move in the slightest, therefore ‘budge’ is actually the correct verb. I’m agreeing with you, if that’s more clear. Haha!
I commented in the first place because you initially mentioned there was a spelling error in the game, but proceeded to explain a grammar error instead. I pointed out that nothing in the game was spelled incorrectly, and agreed that it was a grammar error.
I think the installation instructions are unclear to those that don't live in the word of pc games. I am finding it difficult to download this game on Itch and i have even tried doing it manually and nothing is happening. If anyone has clear instructions, or even a video tutorial it would be muchly appreciated.
One of the better short horror games that I have made a video for it was loads of fun checking behind me every second and never feeling like I was 100% safe and I actually felt that I was stuck inside the house and my own house at all times great job to the dev would love to play again!
I absolutely LOVED this game... Incredible atmosphere and ambiance. Thank you for creating this gem. Here's my full playthrough if anybody's interested.

That was amazing, I had a hard time getting past day 6. The ending was a bit lackluster, but it's easily 8.5/10 stuff.
Really great atmosphere! Enjoyed playing this one! Well done!
Obvious pre-play, you people are fucking pathetic.No wonder you have 25 views.

right click for flashlight :)
OMG that would be so helpful, I don't know how I missed that ahah
Well, now we know that people can miss that detail so it could be highlighted a bit more)
This game did an excellent job of ramping up the tension. Each day I was wondering what fresh hell I was going to experience, and I was never disappointed. The sounds were on point, and seeing the creature emerge from the TV was just as terrifying as you'd expect.
I just wish there was more :D
Very Good Horror game

I feel like this game is cursed---like there is an untangible evil in it that no man or woman should ever have to face. Please dont play this game, or do---just be warned you might die, in 7 days.
Very scary for me. Good game!
is this a walkthrough horror game or do I have to survive something?
This is really good. Honestly, the only thing I didn't like about it were the footsteps. They kinda sounded like a bouncing ball but really, that was the only fault I found, which of course didn't take away from the experience. It was weird and disturbing, not really filled with random jump scares which I really liked. The quality of the meshes too, that was impressive. Stay safe and I wish you guys the best. :)

a barge is a type of flat boat for transporting across rivers typically. So, yes "barge" is spelled correctly, but the word he wanted was "budge".
I think the dev used ‘barge’ because it can be used as a verb, meaning to move into something with force, as in, “It’s rude to barge into my room like that.” But, yes, ‘budge’ is the word that should’ve been used.

Great horror game with an amazing atmosphere, the entire game felt unsettling. The girl snuck up on me a few times and nearly gave me a heart attack!
I think the installation instructions are unclear to those that don't live in the word of pc games. I am finding it difficult to download this game on Itch and i have even tried doing it manually and nothing is happening. If anyone has clear instructions, or even a video tutorial it would be muchly appreciated.
Thank you for making this game! I had so much fun playing it!! I need more games like this!!

That was way better than I thought it would be! I really enjoyed the game, the atmosphere was great, and the puzzles were unique! Great Job!
Horror games in broad daylight? With sun shining through the windows? 47 views and deserved.
I absolutely LOVED this game... Incredible atmosphere and ambiance. Thank you for creating this gem. Here's my full playthrough if anybody's interested.
