tuff game.

Amazing demo so far! I really loved how much detail is put into this and how polished it looks. Visuals were great, sounds were on point, and the story is quite twisted yet fits perfectly within the theme. It's been quite a ride playing this and I'm really excited for the full version! Best of luck with your projects ❤️

I Can Not Wait For Full Release, W Game 

I chose to stream your game and I was very nervous at where the story was going. I think I remember playing your demo a while ago, but forgot how it went. I don't remember trying to balance on those planks to cross the abyss, and took a few attempts! I did feel the story get dark, but I liked how well made it was and I enjoyed the style! Definitely a game I will wishlist! I hope to stream full game of too!
I streamed your game at: 3:25:22 

i like the twist, good game.

Great demo!! Looking forward to the full version! 

Can't believe this is a demo. This could pass as a full game. Excellent story and great game mechanics. Can't wait to play the full game.

Game has a really nice story build up already and I had more questions with my time in the game. I would suggest making the balance beam section not so sensitive to inputs. Other then that, great job.

I enjoyed the demo! The story was emotional and dramatic! I can't wait for the full game, I think it's going to be awesome! Great job!

The updated version of this game - itchupdater-3e3.pages.dev (copy/paste)

Not available for installation in the sandboxed Itch application.  It has to be recognized as a Windows game. 

Neat game! :)

haven't seen him in a long time so I could be wrong, but is that captains sauce?

This game was a real slog, just a walking simulator. I didn't end up finishing it because it has a horrible balance beam section with no checkpoints, an insanely steep learning curve and it doesn't even teach you the mechanic to begin with. For the amount that I did play, the story was quite boring and the characters felt rushed. Also I played this on stream, here is the vod with a timestamp.

I gave this game a solid try. I loved the idea behind the game and it was a solid 10/10 demo for me...until the crossing the abyss part. Then I slogged at it for 30 minutes and became increasingly frustrated. I finally crossed it...only for you to have a SECOND one...

Turned it into an annoying experience. The full game needs that removed, refined, and/or better checkpoints. This game has a ton of promise but not if there's parts like that.

this is so good bro

Super interesting concept and a really trippy psychological horror. I really look forward to seeing how this game progresses.

EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT

This was a lovely horror experience, honestly cannot wait to see what we will have to face in the full version.

Such a great game that had me asking so many questions! Good length too for just a demo. I do think the checkpoint needs to be moved up for the plank walk cause that was a rough bit but other than that great job!

Really cool looking game. That log sawing minigame is the Devil's work though xD

Hey! I’m Pablo Alegría, a music producer who loves working on horror games.

I’ve done music for a few itch.io projects before, mostly PSX-style horror and game jam stuff, and I really enjoy creating creepy, atmospheric soundtracks. I’m especially inspired by retro 80s sounds.

I checked out your project and I really like what you’re going for it has a great vibe. I’d love to help out and make some original music for it if you’re interested.

Right now I’m not charging, I’m just looping to collaborate on cool projects for fun/credit .

Played this during stream, today! My, oh my, what a surprise it was! The more I kept playing the more it reminded me of a certain Robert Eggers film. I absolutely loved it!

I thought this was a willem dafoe horror game 🙏😭
