This would be cool in VR. Picking up the objects and everything.
what are you using for the investigation of objects examining them? any asset or templates you can refer me to? I want to create similar mechanics in your game. Do you have an Unity asset of this template?
I just made it all myself
I was very interested in playing this game, but are there any options to switch the horizontal rotation? Moving my mouse right to rotate an object left doesn't feel right and I can't get used to it. And I can't find an options menu.

My friend and I had fun puzzling this one out, altho we're still trying to figure out how to get Ending S...
Loved this game. What a mind f**k. And to get all the endings. Talk about replay value. I had to cheat for the last one. And even cheating was hard because a simple google search doesn't show s**t. :'D
The atmosphere, even in broad daylight, based around the files you find, the hidden items, etc., really adds to the overall feel! I love when games can give you a sense of urgency, yet still make you feel not trapped when unable to move!
The only suggestion I would have for this game would be to maybe give some alternative motion to the creature and maybe some sound effects for the killing or ending? Just a thought!
Great game though well done! :)
Anyone got any hints for that elusive 'Ending S'?
been 2 years but iirc ending S has to do with the phone
all the numbers that are marked in the files have a certain property and if you recognize it you'll know what to dial
if not i can give another nudge
WOW
He is comig for you...
I'm playing the Mac version but it's running really slowly for us. We tried low screen resolution with very low graphics quality but it is still glitchy and the in-game computer screen won't even turn on when we interact with the power button. What is the best resolution/graphics setting for best results? We are on a 2017 iMac desktop w/ Radeon Pro 555 2 GB Graphics card. Any help is appreciated.
I don't have a solution, but I'm having the same problem, also on Mac. It moves slowly/jerkily when I try to look around on any graphics setting higher than "low," and no combinations I've tried actually give me the working computer screen. It'll even show me where the recycling bin and database are if I hover over them, but since nothing is visible on the screen, clicking on them does nothing for me. Did you ever find a fix?
No. :/ Had to abandon the game for now.
Hey, I found something in the Demake, and a friend tried putting those numbers I found into this version, getting Ending S, curious if that's the last ending in the game?
It is yeah. I'm surprised people are finally finding this ending.
that's awesome, we had been trying to find something to do with those numbers for ages in the Demake, glad it paid off in this one haha
Cool game, found it from demake version
Found 5 endings, the last one scared the crap out of me ;)
I've been trying to find out how to get endings D and E. Care to share or hint at how to get those? I've tried all the numbers from the files with marks and tried them on various things.
i dont really remember beyond dialing certain numbers into the phone to be honest, sorry
if i remember right for the non-A endings you just deliberately screw up, is this a game where you can point a gun at yourself or am i thinking of something else?
edit:
endings are ABC, D or F or something, S
The controls were a little hard to get used to for me, but all in all I really enjoyed it (I came over from the 'demake' version). I have to ask though...is there an ending E? Seems like there should be, but I've been struggling...
There is not, I cut it for time back when I made it.
An interesting little game. We enjoyed it very much.
Here is a short video we made while playing:
Don't ever pay more than $20 for a computer game
;)
I played this 2 weeks ago and I found A, B, C, and F endings. It's one of my most viewed videos cause people were curious about the endings, if you are too, here you go!
That was fucking amazing. Great job.
This is one of the smartest indie games I've played, so smart that it was too smart for me! The game does not hold you hand and leaves it to you to figure everything out. But I enjoyed my experience. This was clearly an ambitious project, especially with multiple endings. I wish my best to the developer for the future of this game and any other endeavors. This game is well worth a try and more than worthy of support. You can see my experience first hand in the video below.
Played this on my channel for a random indie horror. Let me start off by saying, I'm typically NEVER good at games like this, so that said. This game was a bit of a curve ball for me, I feel I struggled a bit with things that may had been a lot easier than i made them out to be, However! I did manage to get through the game and get 3 different endings without walkthroughs. The game was very well made and i really enjoyed it. A lot of careful consideration, time and effort went into this game and it shows. I give this game a solid 9/10. If you want a more bit deeper review, i give one at the end of my playthrough, which you can watch below of course!
Gave it a go...
Really cool game. I was afraid it was gonna be another fnaf clone, i'm glad i was wrong.
This was a short and sweet horror experience! Loved the story. Thanks for the fun!!
My play through:
Awesome game i love the style and whatever that thing was haha. But awesome job, i loved it!
WHAT IS THAT THING!?

Great game!! I enjoyed the point and click aspect, the artwork and the creature! I can't wait to see what you create from here. Here's my play through of the game, I couldn't find all secret endings but am tempted to go back and solve them all!
I had a lot of fun with this game i really enjoyed solving the puzzles 😉👍 if you would like to see my playthrough here it is:
enjoy.Cool game! Definitely a mind bender, I really enjoyed it! Any plans for future games?
I wish this was a bigger game! It's very different from recent horror games, without jumpscares and proper, tough puzzles. I enjoyed it a lot :D
Good little game, the puzzle properly fried my brain though!
For a 'First Game' and being 17 this game is definitely supremely high quality, and I can't wait to see what's more to come from you in the gaming industry. I wish to find all endings!
Thanks!
And the finale just without a secret ending...
Great Game, possibly one of my favorites for the year (It was a breath of fresh air in the horror genre) I hope that you expand on this idea. I completed both endings and had a lot of fun with the environment and character.
Thanks a bunch!
I LOVE this game!! Very unique! Can't wait to try all the endings.
;)
Loved this! I want more!
Really entertaining video. Thanks a bunch for playing!
i just want to say that i'm translated the morse tweet e.e
well done!
Really nice work with this project. More of this please. :)
Thanks for playing it!
