Left alone with the monster in the house, you must carry out your nightly routine, pretending not to notice it's presence.

Отличный хоррор, интересная задумка! Автор проделал отличную работу , от катсцен до геймплея. Советую вам поиграть. 

Удачи автору в последующих проектах!

great game! nearly made me crap myself lol..

This was so messed up LOL

Fun game, you should expand on it 

The moster is basically the teleports behind you meme 

Nothing is following me; I'm fine. But in all seriousness, this game is great with its short story and unique mechanics. 8/10.

This was a scary and creepy game to play. Doing tasks and eating pizza while the monster breaths heavily behind was very unnerving to me. I also like the game mechanic in this game, reminds me of Slenderman. The ending was a bit sad though, but oh well can't survive them all. I give this game a 5/5.  

it was fun i like it 

Very Solid Game, I like the concept of having to avoid looking at something or ignore it, it's a mechanic that's mot used very much in horror gaming and it's a nice change of pace. 

a very good game with a good twist! 

awesome game idea!

This was fun to play and had me on edge the entire time.

LITERALLY ONE OF THE MOST TERRYFYING GAMES I HAVE EVER PLAYED, COULD NOT IMAGINE THIS HAPPENING TO ME PRETENDING SOMETHINGS NOT THERE,

I like the concept of a monster that you know is here but you have to ignore it. Good game!

really cool SPOILERS DOWN BELOW





The idea of a horror villain who can only kill you if you acknoledge him is pretty sick and it was a fun little experience. i wonder how long he lingers before taking the hint that your too smart to fall for it and pissing off

This Game was Amazing

Very cool game, my favorite of the 3 I played. You're right at the start!

Finally got around to playing this and although it was super short, A great horror game nonetheless! great concept and atmosphere! Can't wait to check out the rest of your games! Come check out the full game via my channel if you wanna have a laugh!

Why is lucas slunched over

there is definetly not a spooky irish silly willy mister geek chasing me 

great game! i wish the ending was explained though, i want to know more.. 

this is really really good. the atmosphere is brilliant, has me tense throughout, the lack of any jumpscares but the constant presense is so unsettlining. i like how usually in horror games you're running or hiding but here it's an interesting way of dealing with it. it lets me (who can't handle horror usually) actually be able to play it while still experiencing dread

Oh, it was an amazingly  great game! I love it!!

Genuinely a really cool idea for a horror game and had me Stressing the entire time that I played. Hope ya'll make more awesome stuff like this in the future!

This was an amazing game to play

It's ... okay. The good thing is, there are no jumpscares.


Interesting that so many comments are spammed here, with links to a super special playthrough of this game and "you won't believe the reAcTioNs it got".
