Hey man thanks for playing. It seems you skipped an update since he doesn't camp, and the player doesn't stick to walls. Just delete and re-download for the update!
really good game i like the style but i think that you should make the inside have more stairs,rooms,etc
Is it possible to get a savepoint in the warehouse part. Its frustrating to go through the forest every time? Greetings. game looks great
thanks for playing. I could have done that but I didn't so it can be some sort of punishment for losing.
Let me start off by saying i LOVE the aesthetic you chose. Reminds me of Stay Out Of The House by Puppet Combo. It takes a minute to get to the scary part but that's great-- it gives you time to be unnerved by the forest area and its odd emptiness.
That said, once I arrived at the warehouse and began exploring, i discovered the antagonist is lightning fast-- way too fast. He sees you >> you're dead. Sadly this prevented me from getting further into the game.
I'd also say i enjoyed the random nature of the "lurker": he can appear pretty much anywhere it seems. If he was toned down a bit I think it would be an improvement, but otherwise I think you're heading in the right direction and with a few tweaks this could be an awesome little horror outing. Following!
after a few updates and bug fixes the player is now faster than the lurker but the lurker has a pretty fast reaction time than the player so that's why he might catch you quickly, thanks!
creepy
Generic premise with a great execution! Liked this a lot.
From the start of the game, you are forced to go through this forest area and it seems quite well made, but at the same time, I didn't feel scared nor stressed. Jump to the warehouse/building segment - I was stressed! The execution of that level was bizarre, it was eerie and just solid.
Some collision settings and pixelated VHS effect can be updated, because it is a too much strain on the eyes. Other than that - good work.
Best of luck with the future games!
Nice great game its was tense I like it anyway well done keep it up!
That was pretty fun. I legitimately got kinda scared.
i enjoyed your game. it needs work but i like what i played.
