Excited to try the game, really into horror witch stuff. Once I get the time surely i'll let know my experience. By screenshots alone I can tell it's something you put lot of work in, keep up your projects mate.

Thanks, buddy. I'll wait for your opinion then. See you soon :)

Just tried the demo. Its awesome, keep on the good work.

I have tried your demo and it is really impressive. You managed to capture that spooky scary atmosphere which I am a big fan of. Good luck in your future projects

Man! I loved your Demo game! The details of each character it's impressionant! Also, if you set more puzzles, it would be fantastic! :D

I'm new developing and I would program someday like you!! You did an amazing work!! 

I felt that the character models, music, and sound effects are high quality, and they create a very strong atmosphere.

In darker scenes, the health bar might be a little hard to see, but overall it was a very engaging and tense experience.

So, I played the demo of your game, and honestly, I was really impressed. The amount of work and polish it has is crazy — it genuinely feels like something way bigger than a typical solo indie project.

Sadly, I can’t afford the full game right now, sorry about that :(. But I’m 100% sure the full version is going to be amazing, and as soon as I can, I’ll definitely play it.

Keep up the great work! :D

I bought and played throught the entire game today. If this is your first game, then I'm very impressed! There are a lot of small details that I really liked about it, such as:

- The main menu having multiple animated scenes from the game in the background, setting the tone of the game

- Characters interacting with the environment, such as walking/driving around in the background, picking up or using objects. For example, there was one scene where I would be given a lighted candle. Instead of an NPC just standing around and "magically" giving me the item, the NPC instead would take the candle from me, pull a lighter from her pocket and light the candle in her hand.

- The checkpoint system really was a godsend. There were some parts in the game that were rather hard (for example sneaking around in the woods with the wolves), but due to very generous checkpoints, it never became too frustrating to try again.

- I liked how the game would sometimes try to nudge the player towards the correct path by having the player get killed/ambushed in certain spots, thus "walling off" certain parts of the map etc... I think it really helped move the pace of the game along nicely (instead of letting the player wander around the entire map aimlessly without any kind of interference)

- I really liked how in one of the later chapters, the game gave me a choice to basically "quit the game" or to keep playing. At first I thought the second option would give me maybe a brief cutscene or a few more minutes of gameplay. Instead, the game continued with a lot more chapters, which helped flesh out the story etc...

- The news reports on one of the TVs and after the credits looked really good

Keep up the good work! 

I am very grateful for this comment. I believe that the greatest reward for a creator is to see users' satisfaction about their projects. Thank you again for this in-depth analysis and for playing the full version of the game.

See you soon :)

This game is one of the best horror games i have ever played, this game has incredible story and it seems that the developer worked hard for it. Congratulions!!!

I played the demo and its realy had thier atmosphere. Its not my type of game, but definetly a good one. I really liked the music. Maybe i wrong, but the mouse roll sensitivty change dosent work. I didnt feel any changes. (maybe this just the demo issue and in the full game its alredy good)

Otherwise its a very good job. I wish you great success. :)

It looks like a lot of work, you're a pretty good programmer Good Job my friend:)

il gioco sembra molto interessante, ho visto il trailer e mi intriga molto, mi piace l' ambientazione e lo stile, complimenti

I tried the demo and I liked it. The atmosphere is well done, and the flashlight changing intensity is really interesting! I got a scare from the girl at the beginning, haha. The game is really good! Congratulations to the team behind it!

The game is clearly well-crafted and suspenseful 😬

I wish you continued success

Overall, it’s definitely a good game. The way it builds its atmosphere and story makes it even better, and I was even startled by that woman at the beginning. What really surprised me is that you didn’t go for the usual low-poly, homogenized style that many similar games use—and that’s already quite impressive for a first game. However, the dancing witch camp and the exaggerated propaganda posters make it feel more like a parody game. If the title were changed, it would probably be received even better.

I'll consider doing that. Thank you for playing and for the in-depth analysis.

Highly recommended! The atmosphere is definitely the game's strongest point. The plot is engaging, and everything feels meticulously crafted! You nailed it :)
