I'll be honest! I absolutely loved this game even tho I did not realize this was about aliens and I am so scared of aliens. I dont know why I thought it was about bad dreams or sleeping too much at first. I love all of your games and have played so many this year! Keep making more!
I had some fun playing your game in today's stream:
Thank you so much for your work, keep it up! Can't wait to see what you do next! :)
Scary story! Loved that graphics style :D
This was so good at creating a feeling of unease. It had a bit of a Skinamarink vibe and I love that it was surreal but only to a point where it still felt immersive (and not that surreal that you loose relatability with the real world which usually drains a game of scares).
Experiências estranhas relacionadas a abdução em todo o mundo, o medo realmente começa, quando você começa a considerar que o mesmo está acontecendo com você.
Mas caso você não esteja sendo controlado por um alienigena e vá ser sequestrado, segue a experiência:

The gameplay itself though didn't match that as much; the walking around back and forth could have really shown how the main character's mind was falling apart well, but nothing really happens as the player goes back and forth and sometimes it felt like things weren't triggering. Stuff could have been shown in the windows and things could have moved around more to show that there was actually something wrong happening.
I liked how it was heavily alluded to that the character had a mental illness and that was the real reason for the disappearances, but that could have been shown better by alluding it throughout the walking parts of the game as it felt more like an abduction game than what it revealed at the end.
Other than that, I liked how the game was broken in parts and had a conversation in between; it added a lot to the story overall and was done pretty neatly! Good luck on future projects
Absolutely loved this! Always keen for alien abduction stuff
A really unsettling alien abduction tale, great work
Interesting game, enjoyed it!
Atmospheric short game
awesome atmosphere! Great game
If the aliens wanna catch hands from making so many problems, then so be it lol
I appreciate how this game respects my choices. allowing me to shape the story and world around me.
The attention to detail is astounding. it's clear a lot of love went into making this game.
I love playing games with this theme, I liked the graphics and the story, remember the movie Signs, anyway, you did a great job, I enjoyed playing it, it was fun, keep it up
Gameplay PT-BR
Made a video
Spooky atmosphere! Any chance you're inspired by "The fourth kind" and "The Mothman Prophecies" movies? lol Another great game! I did get stuck in the photos! I kept clicking and it wouldn't go to the next one. Until it did and ended up skipping a photo >_< Also the head bob had me laughing lol
Checked out a couple of videos to compare, and it seems like some people (including me!) are experiencing a bizarre bug with the head-bob animations where you bob around like a jack rabbit cranked out on amphetamines. really like your stuff and i wanted to play this too but it was unfortunately kind of unplayable. like i never get motion sickness from games but this did it. playing on windows 11 if thats relevant.
Sorry about that! New build with a fix should be out this week
always love your games, great work!

Now this - this was the classic alien abduction story done terrifyingly right.
There's a lot of ways to go with tropes that are now so classic they are considered goofy. One is to try and reinvent them entirely... another is to try and portray them as straight as possible and look for the fear in it. You did this wonderfully with Missing Time.
Fractured memories. Shambling around a dark house. The warped narrator voice. The glimpses you catch. All of it makes for en engaging abduction story, and one of the best told in the jam.
The main issue I find is with character movement - the headbop is so fast and frantic it's downright ridiculous, as is the character's speed for running around in such a small house, and it just ended up making otherwise scary moments comical.
But that said - great take on the idea.
thanks so much for playing it and making a video. I really appreciate it. You definitely got the exact vibe I was going for!
Boring and not scary.
I felt like I was "missing time" while playing it.
The only thing that I actually enjoyed was watching the TV videos about the real UFOs.
thanks for checking it out!
Sure, you're welcomed... I guess.
Another great and phenomenal game that I really really enjoyed! Definitely worth the playthrough and check out the rest of the games Dan has made!
Thanks so much for playing and making a video too, i appreciate it!
dope game!
Yo thank you! Vid was sick btw
This Was Great
Thanks for playing and making a video too <3
This game was really cool and scary! It's my first alien abduction game and i enjoyed it a lot! The atmosphere and graphics were eerie which really made this game for me!
MISSING TIME: Algunas personas han experimentado por el mundo una perdida de tiempo, un lapso de tiempo perdido borrado de la memoria, muchos de ellos han sido abducidos por extraterrestres sin saberlo... Muchas gracias por compartir el juego, me ha gustado mucho, saludos!!!
Awesome! Thanks for checking it out!
what do you mean by taking photo's?
oh weird, sorry about that!
Show post...
AMAZING! I swear you see the aliens penis in the doorway its HUGE! loved this game! Hope it made you laugh ENJOY LOVE YOU BYE!
This game was really interesting and fun, I love the little spooky bits and it's so well made. 10/10 great little game.
Love all of your games and this one didn't disappoint! Awesome job always looking forward to what you make next!
Interesting. Sorry about blank screen sometimes, I thought it was the Time Lapse (Missing Time) in game (laugh). However I liked to much. It happened because some DLL isn't released for my interpreter (wine) to run windows game to Linux OS. But keep chill, I appreciated to much it that it isn't any issue to me buddy.
Great game horror. I like the twist in your game
