Oh yea i forgot to do this.....
This game ABOSOLUTE CINEMA i love your stories and these abominations you create.
Issues with linux compatibility when running through WINE. Lots of glitching and crashed when i picked up the first flower. Would love to see a functional linux release
so this game was meant to be a small play through 🤣 the constant search for them bloody flowers had to narrow it down if anyone’s interested! All in all a very freaky game !
This Indie Horror Game Will FREAK You Out!
i first began to hear the Hum when i was a young child; the pylons that lined our property seemed especially loud on hot summer evenings. the desire to reach out and touch their legs could eat a hole right through me, but every time i approached the buzz grew too much inside my chest and i'd find myself running away. thank you for allowing me to listen up close, They are beautiful beyond imagination.
one of my favorite indie games i've played recently! tense and inspired, the prose had me hanging on to every word. a bit simple and janky gameplay-wise, but this is incredibly promising and i can't wait to check out more of your projects. great work!
(was that a Pulldrone reference i noticed?)
Nice intro
My eyes broken
i felt like i was going insane whilst playing so 10/10
dude this game is actually TERRIFYING I love it so much. I much prefer games like this that are deeply unsettling and give me the Shivers, over all those jumpscary games. I've only gotten one ending so far, but WILL be going back and getting the rest!! 🙏
the vibes? on point, i thought i would get a scare on every turn. Even that the fear disappear when I do try for the other endings. But the endings hunting made up for it. What i would love is "Endings" menu, becuase i did had some confusion searching for all of the endings. GOOD GAME
I love this game, and it is very good and scary.
10/10!!! - BLEW MY ABSOLUTE MIND OUT!
Dude, if there's a category of 'Game of the year' for indie games like this, this would be my vote. I loved everything about this!
my playthrough:
I got stuck twice, had to play it again, I might give up. This game needs jumps
Very creepy, and 6 endings too! Awesome!
An absolutely wonderful and unsettling experience!! The dialgoue is written so well but the visuals are simply extraordinary and mesmerizing
I really hope the baby masked things are just life sized dolls and not actual mutilated corpses
why are so many of the comments videos of people playing the game?
Its to try to boost their channel.
right but why is it like so overwhelmingly popular with this game in particular? It's like every other comment
There are a ton of Lets Play channels for the Horror genre. There are a lot of games on itch that have just as many video plays in the comments.
oh ok, I am pretty new to itch so I just hadn't seen it befor
If you get a chance, visit some of the other horror games (or FPS games too) here on itch, and you'll see what I'm talking about. :-)
Made a longplay video on this game, was pretty cool:

Really awesome ambiance!
(Btw, you forgot to add a collider to the oven ahah)
This was quite decent, I liked the open world, exploration. The random sounds every now and then made it very eerie! When those angels started to move, that panicked me! I was expecting a weeping angel to happen. The story was interesting. I found all endings & i made a video!
keep it up!
it sucks it sucks from my video i cut 3hrs out do not get could not get worse. 0/10
Any chance you will make a Mac version
For some reason, I couldn't collect the mother's limbs after the first one. The game only lets my get a single one.
that is quite an out of context quote right there
Another solid game by the developer, audio was wild, visuals were really creepy and overall a fun experience to play. 6 endings is insanity!
Actually, good!
Unfortunately, this is one of those games that runs excessively hot. My CPU was 206 degrees Fahrenheit before I had to quit. Starting and exiting the game my CPU would go hot then drop to 100 degrees Fahrenheit after exiting the game, so it is definitely the game itself, and it requires a fix.
hey! Sorry about this. I'll certainly take a look into that.
the pylons led me to salvation
Very great game! It made me very uneasy the whole time I was playing it!
Hello, I would really appreciate the opportunity to get in touch with the developers. I truly enjoyed the game’s overall aesthetic and atmosphere.
I’m a content creator from Brazil, and I believe that adding a Brazilian Portuguese translation would make the game much more accessible to a wider audience here. My community would absolutely love it.
Thank you for your time, and congratulations on the great work.
Was this game inspired at all by Kitty Horrorshow games?
Not directly inspired no, but I do love their games
Nice!
Love the work you're doing on your game 🎮
I’m reaching out because I specialize in helping indie devs navigate the jump from Itch.io to a successful commercial launch on Steam. Most games get buried by the algorithm, but with the right wishlist strategy and store optimization, you can actually hit that "New & Trending" list.
Do you already have this slated for a Steam release? I’d love to help you maximize your visibility and avoid the common launch pitfalls.
If you’re open to a quick chat, drop me a line at kayleighburcg@gmail.com. Let's get this the traction it deserves! 🚀

stuck between chairs and the TV in Emma's house. I'm literally stuck, I can't get out. I won't go on any further
Woops, sorry that happened!
