Hello!
I just finished your game and it’s awesome!
I have a small proposition, I’m a translator and I’d love to start working on game localization.
Would you be interested in having me translate the demo into Polish?
You’d get an extra language option, and I’d get something cool to add to my portfolio.
Thanks a lot!
We're not hiring right now, but I'll save your profile for future projects. Thanks for your interest, and thanks for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I think everyone was a little upset by the ending. I'll share more notes and more information to make the investigation more robust. Thanks for playing, and thanks for the gameplay!!
Hey! I played your game and if you're curious I also reviewed it! Feel free to use the timestamps in the description. :)
I watched your video and loved the feedback. You can be sure I'll improve each of the aspects you mentioned there. Thanks again!!
Very interesting survival horror game.
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
When I click left mouse button to continue from the first narrator text, the game freezes and a "Fatal error!" window pops up. I'm playing on an Intel Celeron N4500 (a very weak processor with very weak iGPU) laptop. The issue could be that my laptop is not good enough, but it's rare for weak hardware to cause errors
And yes, I did try playing with Low quality, but that didn't help
Do you have DirectX 12 installed? Make sure you do. If you do, it's probably because your processor can't handle it.
this game was good decent puzzles and scares can be scarier but i liked it i am sure you will do a great job with it i believe in you ^^
I'm adapting new scares, sounds and an even more claustrophobic atmosphere, I hope to surprise you. Thanks for play!!
Thanksss!!
Y'all should see my box of fear ;) -lele
Ok not gonna lie, here you definitely figured out the formula for tension buildup and I loved it.I can't wait to see what you pull off for the full release.
I'm putting all my energy into it. I hope I can surprise you with the final release. Thanks for playing and thanks for the gameplay. I'm glad you enjoyed it!!
Oh I definitely did you managed to get me with the fakeout xD
Really good, I found the end of the demo quite funny. I thought it was a different game at first, so ignore what I was saying in the beginning. Can't wait for the full release!
This ending is hilarious lol, it looks like some kind of horror gang. I confess it was supposed to be scarier, but I'm glad the result was positive. Thanks for playing and thanks for the gameplay!!!
