wow this is good I liked the game very cool, the ending really got me I wasn't expecting that lol, you did a good job with the game, I liked the story and the mechanics congrats keep it up!!!
by Far one of the best games I’ve played on here. Being that silent hill is my favorite game series i can tell that this was influenced by it. I wouldn’t mind a longer more flushed out game like this.
I like this game, unfortunately i couldn't finish it, because there is a bug (during the part where he first becomes the monster, on the go to work route) where i leave the bedroom, but the camera doesn't follow him. basically the camera stays in the bedroom, al while he's walking around outside the bedroom. i might play again when i have time, and hopefully i dont run into this bug again, overall great game, i hope to see more!
Edit: i "fixed" it by worming my way into the bathroom, now the camera is back. i can play again at least!
Really good game! I really enjoyed it. Just a shame that I couldn't get another ending. I got stuck after washing the dishes and he wouldn't leave the house even after watching TV =/ very touchy subject. A lot of people must feel similar to the protagonist. Great job!
I really enjoyed this. The dev did a great job of portraying the character's depression in a realistic and relatable way. The character's struggle was evident and the introduction into his life of someone who shows him there is hope really sends that message that there is always hope.
2nd in the line up. Silent Hill inspired is like catnip to me. I have to say the story beats did sneak up and bean me on the head. The pacing good, the subplot sneaking up at the last doesn't feel cheap, its back stopped very well. Granted it took me a good while to get the game progressing but it made sense after. And multi endings... I'm going to be keeping an eye on you my good duder. Keep it up.
I liked this little project! It had a nice sense of horror with the little spooks creeping in, the story was pretty interesting only issue is it reminded me of the unspoken cough. Great sound effects too. I enjoyed this and recommend!
The game's ok. It has a slow start, but after that, it gets going. I feel like this game has 2 stories in it and it keeps trying to go one way or the other. (The flu and the accident) I would cut out one of the two stories and focus the remaining story. The scares however, is great. So nice job.
This was really good! I liked the mystery. I got both endings too. (I also donated to patreon too) Some parts disturbed me and some made me feel a little sad for the guy. Here is my playthrough! Hope you enjoy.
Impressive for a game jam! I had a great deal of fun while playing, although, I do share the criticism of many others about the length of the game and particularly the "timer" mechanic.
Best parts of the game are definitely the subtle details - phone calls, character monologues, the atmosphere around the house and ambiguous antagonist. Sound design was perfect, as well as the visuals. It felt very immersive and at the same time empty - in a good way. I felt creeped out during a certain sequence, although, as I said in the beginning, the game dragged a bit too long.
I can't say if it was the "Game Jam" or a personal choice, but the timer was very unnecessary. The title sequence was long, the direction of the game was confusing and I found myself lost at times, especially after interacting with every single item in the house. I do think this can be easily fixed with just an update after the Jam ends, because the game has a huge potential.
In conclusion, good game, but not great. Best of luck with the future developments. Cheers!
I quite enjoyed this game. It really did feel like it had a Silent Hill vibe to it, especially with the home "decaying". It's an interesting take on depression, and I felt like some of his troubles were my troubles. Really enjoyed it though, and I can't wait to play more like this! Great job!
The game has left me thinking; it's a rather intriguing approach to tackle such delicate themes as loneliness and depression. I'm glad that in the end, the game ties up all loose ends, although I must say that the plot was quite simple. The only criticism I can offer is that it doesn't give you any hints about what to do, so the experience boils down to wandering around the apartment and interacting with objects until you stumble upon the right one. I understand that you were aiming to convey a sense of solitude and hopelessness, but at times, I truly didn't know what to do.
Apart from that, I really enjoyed the game, It's like you say: "this kind of experience is not for everyone". Keep up the good work!
With peace and love I know this is Itch IO and you can't expect a million dollar game.However Itch IO has laid out some of the best games I have seen. With all this being said this game was not good. The gameplay was clucky it made it hard to play. The whole time dynamic where we had to sit and wait for the time pass was ridiculous.The plot made no sense it felt like at first there was a monster in the house. Every footstep sounded like a creature was somewhere in the apartment.It than came off as a illness spreading? The flu the black lines everywhere gave me the impression the apartment itself was molding. You gave no idea that this had anything to do with death from the past? Was he dead? Did he drink and kill his family? Was his mom responsible for whoever died? It made no sense and I was close to quitting but wanted to finish it hoping there would be something rewarding it was not.
Sorry you didn’t like it! Keep in mind this game was made for a 7 day game jam. I am well aware it is far from perfect. The mundane and clunky nature of the game is by design to match the stories themes. I understand this kind of experience is not for everyone. Much of the game is focused on themes of solitude and the horrors of being alone. Either way, I appreciate the feedback!
Really great game, story was somewhat easy to follow. Task to be done in the day before sleeping got confusing at time leading to tons of dead parts where the player is wandering mindlessly. Other than that, its a really well made game. Good job!

This game reminded me some of Silent Hill 4: The Room,
Takes place completely in this character's apartment, besides one scene,
The story I found interesting and tried to piece it together with my own weird logic,
Still won't come into work! F that! It's my day off!
Got both endings!
I enjoyed the little scares, they got me pretty good!
And I liked the slow decay of the apartment and thought it played with the characters mental state.
Interesting little game and felt like a old PS game.
Good Job McSteeg!
This game was absolutely amazing!I wish things made a bit more sense though
the way everything around changes is very interesting
Great game!!
wow this is good I liked the game very cool, the ending really got me I wasn't expecting that lol, you did a good job with the game, I liked the story and the mechanics congrats keep it up!!!
Gameplay PT-BR
This was a fun game to play and the scares were good :D
I also made a Let's Play if anyone wants to watch:
As a fan of the Silent Hill series, you nailed existential dread part! I had a lot of fun getting both endings
I had a lot of fun playing both endings of this game and I think it was very well made by the developer!
10/10

I’ll look into this and fix the camera triggers. Thanks for letting me know! I appreciate it! :)

I haven't heard about this bug, I'll look into it! Thanks for playing though it means a lot! :)

The game is so slow but have some good horror moments.
