THEY KILLED MY BOY CASEOH!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME
This was fun!
A classic return to the itch.io motel. Neat little game. Well done!
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)The motel setting was classic yet unsettling, and I loved how the tension built step by step.
Thanks for creating such a fun horror experience!
Here’s my Japanese gameplay video: 🎥
Looking forward to your future works!
Danke für euer Spiel
Adorei jogar, o jogo me surpreendeu bastante bons sustos, a experiência prendeu do começo ao fim. 🎮👏
Parabéns pelo trabalho incrível! Postei a gameplay no meu canal porque acho que mais pessoas precisam conhecer o seu jogo. Valeu, Dev! 🙌
This was a fun game to play! Admittedly- did not expect to get jumpscared as much as I did. Still cursing the motel owner as we speakn >:P
Thank you for the game!
This was a fun little horror experience of it's own, with so many questions left un-answered XD. The plot twist was really well inserted. Though basic jump-scares, but well placed! Keep up the good work and wish you the best on your future projects!!
Really unique little game, keep up the good work!
I wanted to show off this fun jump scare.
I loved this game. The voice acting, controller support and psx style. The slow build up to the ending was done really well and I actually enjoyed the cameo too. Great game.
Here's my gameplay of it. It starts at 00:20
nearly cried LMAO
loved the game, short and scary! starts at 22:00
