Got this game in a bundle with Umeru and Ningyo and I think this game is the best of the three. All three have a good scary ambience, but I liked Sabishii the most because of the theme of loneliness and trying to break the taboo around it. I do think the story theme was too heavy for such a short game and should be expanded to a longer game where the theme could thrive more. If anyone is interested in my Let's Play: here it is:

Thanks for your playthrough and comments, there is actually 5 games in the bundle now. Appreciate you digging into the story. I am now releasing two larger games on Steam so hopefully you will play them! Dead Faces is on Steam and other one will soon be added there. Cheers

This game was pretty fun to play. I did enjoy it. I hope the developer(s) keeps it up. Don't be scared to put more scare into the next game. Kepp up the good work!!

Thanks for playing!

Thanks for playing!

The tension in this game is BEYOND scary! I really enjoyed the audio and scares in this game. The jumpscares could've been more intense, however, I enjoyed the story of this one as well. Can't wait to see what you cook up in the future — Dead Faces was one of the games that got me following you!

Thanks for the game,

Kuya Sunset

Cheers and thanks for playing once again!

J'adore les jeux d'horreur et particulièrement les jeux d'horreur japonais... On y retrouve une certaine ambiance que j'ai du mal à trouver dans les autres jeux.. J'ai beaucoup aimé celui-là <3 // I love horror games, especially Japanese horror games... There's a certain atmosphere that I find hard to find in other games... I really liked this one <3

Another great game by a phenomenal dev studio. I haven't played all their games yet but from the ones I have, none have missed the mark on scaring me. This was probably my favorite thus far! Keep up the amazing work! Here is my playthrough.

This game scared me beyond belief, and I don't know why. Excellent job. I am following for future releases!

THIS GAME BROKE ME!! [ Sabishii Gameplay ] (youtube.com)

Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it!

J'ai adoré!

Thanks for playing!

Really loved the atmosphere and build up, the combination of being trapped in a small space with no control over whats happening really put me on edge and a couple of the scares really got me, fantastic job and looking forward to taking a look at more of your work!

Thank you very much! Due to the isolation concept and minimal space i challenged myself to try make a game in a confined space! I have more Japanese horror games coming as well as others, so there is probably something more you would like, feel free to browse my other releases as well. I do appreciate the support a lot!

That was a creepy one! I've been loving the new games you've been making. I'll always love the other found footage series but it's great to see some different ones from you too. Keep em coming, my friend! Thanks!

(I played a couple weeks ago but forgot to post my vids on here lately)

Hey man, no worries think I saw you posted it on your channel. Thank you so much for the support and definitely love trying out some different stuff I've got brewing stay tuned for more! Cheers

Would like a refund game wont download and unzip from file. keeps making me try to buy winzip. Any way around this please?

You need to use WinRAR to extract the content folder of the game and execute the game with the .exe. WinRAR is free. 

ill give it a shot thankyou

This is one of the shortest and scariest games I have ever played! - gameplay below! 😱

Thanks for playing glad you had fun with it!

I enjoyed my playthrough of the game. Well done

Thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it, more games coming soon!

Here is my playthrough of Sabishii!! Nice & short! I really enjoyed this, I was confused middway on what to do! Awesome work Aza :)

Just commented on your video on youtube, well done! Thanks for playing as always!

Fun short horror game. Didn't use the night vision but didn't need to as the ghost was looking at me while I was taking a piss, so rude.

Thanks for playing! I'll make sure to let her know. 

Very,very horrifying....!!!

Awesome playthrough and glad you enjoyed the game!

I think there were some good moments in here. I think the ending was way too sudden and felt kinda too short without a real conclusion that left me satisfied for the money I spent on it. Still a decent game.

Thanks for playing and for your feedback, the game is intended to be a short experience as it takes place in a rather isolated and small location, the story is mostly hidden within notes and unfortunately you missed the final one giving an conclusion to the whole ordeal ( it's next to the big eye in the bathroom ) regardless thanks and I will probably revisit doing more japanese horror as well as some longer ones. Cheers

Would love to see more for sure! And okay thanks!

Thanks! I have plenty of upcoming titles. Be sure to wish-list Dead Faces on Steam if you are interested! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2822770/Dead_Faces/

I love the games you have created!I played [忘れられた学校] the other day.I'm glad you made another Japan-themed horror game! I am Japanese, so when I play Japanese-themed games, I feel a sense of familiarity and get excited.Thanks for the great game!

Thanks! That is awesome to hear, I'm glad you enjoy my games and Sabishii. I will for sure be creating more japanese horror games in the future. You are most welcome! 

Great game! Very spooky!

Glad you liked it!

Thanks for playing!

Another cool game as always! 

Thanks for playing and for your support as always!

Short game but awesome work as always!

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it!
