Visuals are good, jump scares not too over the top but super well timed. Chases scene could've had a bit more to it but this was a really fun experience ! Good stuff

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

Decided to visit this game. I have to admit, I am really impressed! Great atmosphere and the creepy elements are very tasteful! Great work! You can check out my experience in the video below. Drop a sub if your cool and appreciate my content!

Played your game at 13:35

A unique horror spin on urban exploring, there is a good creepy atmosphere and a really good use of sounds to unease the player as they venture deeper inside.

The ending was also very unexpected and gave the game a good surprise twist, but after the end a pause screen is used which is a great shame as it felt like the ending was not completely finished.

In the future maybe there could be more scares, especially when you find the doll ( e.g it triggers something to scare you )

Considering it is made by just 2 people the game overall is very enjoyable and executed quite nicely, a job well done.

Very creepy especially in the library.

Nice looking game and had some good scares - one scene in particular was very unexpected and made me jump out of my chair. Pretty decent horror experience - good job!

Man, so I rlly can't play this on my Mac..

Tbh I was expecting just another pixelated horror game. And boy was I surprised by the quality of your project. I can't wait to see where you take the story, because I have so many unanswered questions after playing the game. Cheers!

So, the experience was pretty good and nice use of free assets. However, there were some things I found to be a problem. To start, I believe you guys uploaded the Dev build of the game and not the "Shipping" build. I say this because once you enter the prison area, you can see the log at the top right corner of the screen that should only be visible during the development and not in the completed build of the game. Another thing, the problem with using free assets is, most aren't game ready. I've used the same ones you have in this game and a lot of them are meant for "showcases" and not actual games. If you choose to add them into any game, they need to be downsized manually, as in, lowering the poly count and such. It's why you're getting the lag and the error that says "texture pool exceeding limit." Otherwise, I like where this game is going. It actually made me jump, which is hard to do, honestly haha. Keep it up guys and I hope to see some more of this.

Looks great, and offers some mostly smooth gameplay. I think the game was at its most effective when things start to ramp up on the back half. One scene in particular got me more than I expected.

Game was scary, like the fact that it was just silent. Giving us the full vibe and atmosphere of the full place.

Very Scary game and awesome graphics! ! would definitely recommend my friends to play this

(+1)

This game is really good. I love the graphics and its pretty scary!

(+1)

This was really good! A nice, slow buildup, lots of detail, and a few good jump scares. You really captured the feel of an abandoned school with the level design. That added a lot to the immersion and made this a truly frightening experience. Great job! 

(+1)

I love it when i dont expect a game to be anything special and then it shines. This was really good for a two man team and as short as it is. The audio was probably my favorite. So creepy! Great job guys! Ill be watching for more from you!

(+1)

The scares were super good, the beginning was a little bit slow but overall pretty good game! Check out my full review and gameplay here

Really scary game, I felt chills down my spine.This game was amazing, everything from the atmosphere to the gameplay, to the story line gets a thumbs up from me. I would play more if the game was ever revisited. I did a playthrough of this game that I will link below if you are interested in seeing my reaction.

One of best horror games I played! I also recorded a video:

Very nicely done! I love the random objects blocking the doors. My favorite is a giant concrete pipe. The jumpscares are nicely done and well paced. I love the level of polish put into this game and I really hope to see more from you in the future. #BestJanitorintheworld

I loved this, this game creeped me out more than any ive played in a while besides a really good VR one lol. I loved the setting, the ambiance was good asf, and the scares were fantastic. (I loved the "Hey" from behind your head that was awesome) There's not anything I can think of that I had a problem with other than I wish it was longer (Or do I? it was pretty  damn scary lol). I had a great time with this, well done! 👍🏻👍🏻
