How is "Taking a date" root so fatalistic? It is kinda implied the girl dies from the flu and then the grief gets the better of the protagonist? Was it your stance on pandemia restrictions or what?
The game was made during the pandemic. It's commentary on the isolation a lot of us felt at the time. The protagonist already suffered from past trauma. The impulsiveness of his choices despite the state of the world is what make it a fatal decision. There is not necessarily a correct choice, you sort of just live with what life gives you. The player character just doesn't want to be alone.
I loved this game. I didn't expect it to be so good but it really blew me away. The psx style was well-done and the story too. I think I got the best ending. Excellent work.
Thank you for developing this experience. It tackles a hard topic, but was done really well and definitely gives the retro psx vibe. Looking foward to more of your work!
Não consegui terminar o jogo pois demorar bastante tempo para passar o tempo, poderia aumentar a velocidade, me deu um sensação de "encheção de linguiça"
I absolutely despise TANK CONTROLS... with that being said the well paced story telling and constant feeling of "what's happening around me" completely overpowers the control mechanics. 10/10.
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.

Interesting story driven game with cool psx graphics.

Cool and creepy game. I liked both possibilities of ending.

How do I get it to run on mac?
I am uploading Mac and Linux builds right now! I totally forgot to do so earlier... Sorry!
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! :)
