How I have missed this game?! I was so waiting your Akai Noroi game to steam that i didn't even realize you have something else to offer too! I really liked this one, I see you used some same stuff what was in Perdita. Just wondering, should that hanging woman move?! lmao. but really atmospheric and sad game!
Pretty good short game. Although I didn't really understand the message its trying to convey. One thing I would suggest is to have an option to turn off the destination marker to give the players an incentive to explore the school.
good game, i had fun playing it, honestly was not expecting that ending, i had a different idea of the game . thought it was heading towards a "paranormal style like a ghost hunting you thru the school you need to survive and escape" type game . i really like the message at the end. keep up the good work friend i made a playthrough of it :D
Loved the overall meaning of the game, and you really nailed the aesthetic. I realize afterwards I kinda stumbled into the ending faster than intended but wanted to keep my true first experience as opposed to re-recording. I still felt like it was impactful to me as is.
This game actually has such a deep meaning!! It actually made me sad at the end because I know how it feels... But other than that, this is a very nice game and I really like the VHS style of the game.
Very neat, how I interpreted your art, walking around with camera can be very spooky, be fearful of ceiling hands touching when you're in class. And the moral of be kind, very deep, very introspective of the political climate of horror. Thank you.
This game as a potential, there is alot of details to rework but still good and its the first time I see a really good horror game concept like this, almost innovating.
Detail to rework
At the beggining, when we are at the outside of the school, walking sounds are a bit poorly done ; I only hear it when I press A,S,D but not W to basicelly walk (I have a AZERTY keyboard so I changed keybinds to Z,Q,S,D).
Second is the rain ; there is not so much cloud at the sky to rain this much and rain anyway, so just add a sky full of clouds.
Aesthetic effectwith the rain can be better but it still amazing for now, other bugs and details forgotten are more important to that tiny detail and its my taste, and thats what makes the game so good and almost a innovating concept.
I think there is something wrong with the camera system, you can literally see writtings throught everything, and if its not in my taste this is not a good idea.
End of the game
The end of the game is not really a good one but like you said its a short game developped on one week so I can't really say it's a bad one.
First game I played in my 3 scary games video I did for Halloween.
I really liked the VHS style you went with and the camera mechanic makes me wonder if there was anything that I missed since I don't know if I could have pulled out the camera before entering the school.
While I question why this student is runnin around with a camera at school exactly, it is VERY effective once it actually comes into use, simply by virtue of just how much horrifying stuff it throws at you almost immediately. Very, very creepy.
If anything is to be nitpicked, it would be that the ending is entirely too abrupt, with the final "message" ending up making very, very little sense considering that moral is barely even built up, not even with context clues. I have some ideas, sure, but it comes across as someone pulling the power cable in the middle of th game and just leaving you unable to finish.
Hey, I played your game in my latest Itch.io Horror Games video! I absolutely loved the game, it freaked me out real good! It starts at 7:24! Hope you enjoy the video!
Unsettling level designs and characters. Felt like it could have been scarier but it has a good meaning behind it. Thanks! I played it along with another School themed horror game in this video.
Played your game in a video I made. Hope you enjoy.
Liked the video camera mechanic but i think with how short the game is it'd be more effective to remove the battery and just let the player experience the effect
Your game was the 3rd game I played in this video. The idea of what happens later in the game amazed me! I got surprised by the abrupt ending but the main part was pretty cool.

Thanks for making this good game anyway !

Overall it was short but freaky!
Creepy atmosphere and a good message at the end.
(Your game begins at 41:26)
Now that, that was a chilling experience!

What we got, however, was great. Awesome work!

Gave it a go...
Very cool atmosphere and effects in this.
It is indeed a short horror game, however the camera effects and graphics of the environment was on point! This would be rated as 8.5/10.
I feel like I did something wrong, I don't know WHAT I did wrong... but I'm PRETTY sure i did something wrong.
Quite unsettling
(first game i played in this video)Unsettling level designs and characters. Felt like it could have been scarier but it has a good meaning behind it. Thanks! I played it along with another School themed horror game in this video.
was a good attempt at making a spooky setting.... very fun to play
Game gave both a good moral and a good scare. Nice one. I just wish it was a bit more open world to get more story.
Anywho, here's my channel for other games I have played. http://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
good moral, like what you did with the vhs, but it lacks in the scares. Was nice tho.
Played your game in a video I made. Hope you enjoy.
Liked the video camera mechanic but i think with how short the game is it'd be more effective to remove the battery and just let the player experience the effecthi, big thx for the game. greetings from rosti
Really interesting game and take on an important and serious issue. Loved the message and hope I interpreted it right lol
Your game was the 3rd game I played in this video. The idea of what happens later in the game amazed me! I got surprised by the abrupt ending but the main part was pretty cool.
This game got me 3 times, lol
I love the story and the Idea.
The Whole game in general is Amazing :)
Теперь я полюбил японские школы , го в Японию
cool game. short and sweet. like the vhs style and the use of the camera to see a different perspective is nicely done. hope there's more to come :)
