One of my favorite itch.io games and currently the highest on my tier list. Genuinely an AMAZING game!

un excelente juego, gran ambientación y muy aterrador
great quality and personally I felt the vibes of one of my favourite and most atmospheric movies Ritual. It really resembles with it
This is most likely the best horror game I've ever played. Creepy as hell atmosphere, very well made sound effects and more stuff in the game made it awesome. Thanks for the long awaited from a horror game emotions!

this really did give me the blair witch vibes i loved it!!! 2nd gameplay!!! keep up the great work devs!!!!
Hey! The atmosphere, music, and buildup are absolutely superb, especially for such a short game. You nailed the mood perfectly. But please, for the love of all players with motion sickness, add an option to turn off head bobbing — it made me a bit nauseous while playing. Everything else was spot on though!
I do like the Blair Witch Project inspiration. Retro eerie graphics with good sounds. Enjoyed this fully. See playthrough below:
This is so good. This game definitely earns the right to be a full release.
Absolutely love it!
Me ha encantado y aterrado a la vez, la unica pega es que es super corto. Adoro la saga de la bruja de blair y este juego lo plasma muy bien . saludos y gracias
Espero que lo traigas en ESPAÑOL. Perderás MUCHAS descargas y dinero si solo está en ingles. Hay mas de 600 millones de hispanohablantes.
wtf did i play
бро, это выглядит очень хорошо. очень жуткая psx атмосфера!
very great atmosphere and aesthetic used here, i felt dread and it spooked me quite a bit. excited to see where this project will go in the future, kudos!
PT/BR
Fiquei um pouco com medo no final, foi tudo muito bruto. Esse jogo tem potencial de se tornar algo enorme no terror!
Really scary house and kept the suspense high.
This game is very suspenseful. It’s like I was DYING to know what will happen next.
