This is an experiment of mine. Basically, it was a challenge for myself to actually make a game that's scary. However, with computer problems and having to do comissions and stuff, it is obviously late. I won't say much more about the gameplay, because I was trying to keep it a secret. It was scary at first, but by now I've been working on it so long it's hard for me to tell if it's scary at all anymore. The goal of the game is mostly exploration. It's kind of tedious, I realize.

Edit: Version 2.00 is here. Tons of polishing generally make the game considerably more playable now. You can also pick your gender, and there are new effects and areas.

Once I got over laughing at the flashlight beam apparently coming from the character's pants, the game was fairly frightening in a sudden BOO way.

A good and stable engine, but not really scary. Also, the turning around was kinda annoying.

Was quite scary and jumpy, the turning around coulda been alot better though. It would probably be better if the turning was mouse controlled, then you could aim the flashlight anywhere. Also the guy moves faster when going diagonally because you have not used trig for your movement.

I personally thought it was pretty cool. The whole dark spooky thing atmosphere was well done. Sadly the game lost its suspensfulness when i ran into the first bad guy (the grim reeper dude who finds everything funny). He was waaay to fast. Make slow moving...creepy creatures. Fast flying ghosts with giant axes dont go well with the mood. ...but thats just my opinion.

Okay, for some reason, pressing z doesn't do anything, even when I have bullets. is there supposed to be a gun I need to collect?

It also doesn't exit automatically, which is odd.

There's a gun in the attic.

That was intense! Quite possibly the scariest Click game i'm yet to play. The atmosphere was pretty good, I especially like the torch. Really well done.

The was rather scary like Noyb said, in a "boo" like way.

However I it is a bit disappointing that I can meet enemies before I have a weapon. Sure I could just replay it and try something else, but that is a pretty tedious way of doing things. Not worth the effort in my oppinion.

It is the scariest click game I've ever played aswell. I particulary loved it when the lights went out. My heart actually jumped and I started to build up a sweat

Turning system was bad, and flashlight runs out of battery too fast. Nice, and scary game anyways.. thumbs up!

It's a really good game but very scary. Good game

I kinda agree with Cybermaze here, most respected horror games gives you a weapon first, and then throws in the enemies a few seconds later

But a good game anyways.

It would probably be more scary if i had some idea where that random grim reaper guy came from.

But yeah it was pretty cool and a bit jumpy

okay, I finished it.

It was a really cool experiance that should definatly needs to be seen again.

My only real beef is that we never really get to see the bloated face lady. she sounded creepy as hell and I was seriously anticipating on seeing her.

the only problem with this game is the charectoer, he looks a little cartoony like, compared to all the other graphics, this game reminds me of silent hill 3! silent hill 3 is a classic!!! scary!

Yeah, really good gameplay, took me a couple times to beat it.
Again, a nice jumping out at you kinda scary.
Turning the radio on in the main hall sets a nice mood when the lights are out and the zombies have risen.
Also, was there gasoline anywhere to power the engine in the basement? I didn't find any...

Two things though, you should make the zombies die easier, or give more ammo, and the game should stop all enemies from attacking you when you read memos / notes / books, I died a couple times from the flying plates that way.

Yeah, the flying objects when reading is a nasty bug. Maybe one day I'll go back and clean those up.

The zombies, however, are supposed to be difficult to kill. You don't even have to kill them if you don't want to. I mean, they're zombies - they're already dead. If I wasn't already in such a rush to get this out the door, I would've made it so only head shots actually damaged them.

I like it. It has a very eerie atmosphere. The lighting and sound effects are very well done. My biggest complaint (aside from getting attacked when reading) is that an error message appears every time the program changes levels. That happen to anyone else?
