I never comment on these pages but after playing through this game, I just gotta say it was amazing. I got this game in the $5 bundle and I fell in love with it. 1 hour 30 minutes was my playtime and found all the tapes. It was a great story and super super creepy. I hope similar games are released in the future! Great job!
one of my first plays through the bundle, thank you for having it available there! from the start i was hooked. the two-bit design makes it all the more eerie feeling. i love how it's meant to keep one on their toes, but never quite terrify them all in one scare. it's a psychological fear, a wondering of what exactly happened, and the genuine anxiety creeping up throughout as the story unfolds itself. the twist at the end really got me, and i was left feeling fully treated to a great experience! thank you for this wonderful work.
There's a very loud buzzing sound starts up when I turn on the cafeteria generator, and it doesn't stop no matter how far I walk away from it. Does anyone know of a solution?
An enjoyable walking simulator. Graphics are a little rough (my main issue is how the menu does not fit the aesthetic of the world, and suffers from some severe low light issues), but story unfolds in a good way. Easy to follow, will be difficult to miss what's going on, and doesn't rely on any hard puzzles.
I did somehow wind up with 15/12 tapes at the end, so a bit of a funny bug there. But I'd recommend it. Fine to spend a little over an hour.
I just got this game in the bundle, and was hooked from the first tape. I finished a couple minutes ago, and immediately had to tell you how much I loved it. Thank you so much for all your hard work, the results are incredible! I'm recommending this game to everyone I know.
SPOILERS FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW WHETHER THERE ARE HORROR/JUMPSCARE ELEMENTS:
The game is certainly intended to be creepy and there are disturbing images and randomized ambient noises (like loudly creaking wood) that might startle you, but there are no jump scares and there are no enemies/threats in the game. The horror is purely atmospheric.
Received this through the Racial Justice Bundle. Played through it, and it's one of the best games of this type that I've experienced in a long time. As a Christian myself, I came away from it thinking that everyone needs to play it. Single-handedly made the donation cost of the bundle worth it.
Not a problem -- I have been thinking about the game a lot since finishing it. I ended up purchasing it on Steam this morning so that I can better support your work. Take care and thanks again for creating such a thoughtful game!
very immersive storytelling and wonderful design ,, the more i learned about james the angrier i got lmao god it's really a sad thought this has happened and continues to happen to people and they don't know it
played this on steam about a year ago with my girlfriend. i still think about it from time to time. it's an experience that really stuck with me. fantastic little game. i'll check out anything else you guys make for sure :)
Such a compelling, chilling dive into life in a cult compound as told through audiotapes and letters that you uncover as you make your way through the simple but eerie landscape. Great story, great visuals. Nice voice acting. The only issue I had was with the lighting . The mine shaft portion of the game was so dark that I gave up a few minutes in since I couldn't make heads or tails of where I was going. But I'll likely return to finish this game soon. It sticks with you.
This was a really interesting experience! I was very much captivated by the story and I loved the overall aesthetics and eerie, lonely atmosphere. (the mine left me feeling particularly unsettled.) The cult and it's compound felt disturbingly realistic. Great job, it's certainly put me off joining a cult any time soon!

Strange -- definitely not intentional. I'll take a look at it and see if I can pin down the problem.
Well, I'm not quite sure how that bug regressed but I found the cause and I'll be issuing an update shortly to fix it. Thanks for letting me know!
Excellent! Thank you!

Totally AGREE !! And thanks Dev for putting it in the bundle !!
hi i am very interested in the story element of the game. however, i am afraid that there will be horror/jumpscare element. Will these be in the game?

Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying it.
Here's a tip: Check the farm shed for a handy item that'll let you get around much easier in the dark.
Thanks for the tip!

Love this game.. it just makes you feel uneasy .. You never loose that feeling of something's not right
Are there any plans for a Linux version ?
same here. linux?
The story is... quite a bit disturbing, but I liked the end (not spoiled in here). :)
