I really loved this game, especially the story as it was really interesting. Great Job Scary Cube

Gostei do jogo pois o diferencial dele foi que não precisou apelar pra jumpscares para trazer uma sensação de medo pra quem está jogando, a música de fundo e a trilha que a história leva, já é o suficiente pra te deixar desconfortável, gostei demais...

Fantastic Game! Thanks for creating this masterpiece!

It took me 1 hour and 16 minutes to complete. It was really good. The game was really scary. I will upload it to my youtube channel the playthrough. I really liked the story.

(It's a Hungarian channel, so I also speak Hungarian in the video)

In my eyes, definitely a well composed piece of art. I love the psychological story and the analog horror elements. A nice and well done combination. And last but not least: No cheap jump scares.

Thanks for this wonderful game.

Also, I've made this meme:

lo probare y luego comento de nuevo :)

Absolutely loved it. Thank you for such a great experience.

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMONAL!
I could never have guessed that this would have so much lore, so much emotional impact and mentally.

Enjoyed this game a lot! Love your storyteling, will 100% play your games on my channel again!

Wonderful game. I really enjoyed it.

Recently played this one after finishing The Building 71 Incident. Scary Cube you have a knack for horror storytelling and it really got me in the feels with this one. 9/10.

Hello! We are looking for a contact email to offer to bring this game to Nintendo Switch!! Could you please provide us with an email address? Thanks!!!

I had never heard of this game before and had never seen any gameplay. It just popped up while I was browsing for something to play on itch.io, and I have to say, wow! I love the slow pace at the beginning and how it gradually becomes scarier. The sound design is phenomenal, adding to the tension without relying on cheap jump scares. Great job, developer!
It took me two playthroughs to uncover all the secrets. The telephone one was the trickiest to find.

THIS IS SOOO GOOD. probs the best horror game I've ever played. really loved how eerie it was, and I thoroughly enjoyed decorating the house! I neved knew I needed such an element in horrors!

So well done! Once I got past moving the boxes, I really enjoyed it

Lukewarm welcome

Wow. The intro got me hooked immediately. I liked The Building 71 Incident already, but this... You absolutely know what you're doing and I'm looking forward to more of your games. This is one of the best horror games I've played, I only wish it explored something else than just guilt - that's kinda become the default in psychological horror.

Stupid wife won't let me finish unpacking and decorating my home. Leave me be woman!

Loved the unpacking elements. Really cool game!

Great game but I didn't get to finish decorating my home :(

You quickly became my new favorite developer thanks to your current line-up (this game and Building 71). Love the way you tell a story using psychological horror. Can't wait for your next game! :3

This game absolutely exceeded my expectations. The introductory cutscene was already great to set the tone of the game, but the gameplay, sound design, and storytelling itself just felt really strong. I haven't played an indie game like this in quite some time. Amazing experience!

fun game and cool but not scary at all to be honest

(+1)

It's creepy, it's super trippy, it knows what it's job is and it does it well. The sound design is effective and unsettling, the atmosphere of the house is oppressive, the backstory is good, the dialogue is written very well, the visuals are creepy as all hell. It will definitely leave you thinking after it's over, wondering if you really understood what happened or not (I think I do, but I'm not positive). Very good game overall, 10/10

One of the best indie short horror games I've played in a while, felt straight outta Skinamarink. 10/10

Good! The music, trippy visuals and oppressive soundscape all felt very Lynchian. So much more polished and well put together than I was expecting. You can tell the game had an actual vision in mind as opposed to just cheap spooks.

I've gone through the game several times just to arrange things in different variations х)

Wife turned Spiderman

Such a haunting game! Really enjoyed playing! :D

This was an Adventure Indie Horror at its finest

Definitely one of the most polished and scary games on itchio, that was terrifying. I love how you made such a well lit and inviting house seem so unbelievably unsettling. And when things suddenly start changing, it gets so much more scary so fast, it was very well done. There weren't even any jumpscares and yet I was literally in tears at one point, because of how scared I was. I do think there was a minor glitch in the ending cutscene though, the same phrase kept repeating a bunch and just stayed on screen through the credits, you might want to take a look at that.

Incredibly scary! One of the scariest games on itchio in my opinion, very polished! 

This was the scariest horror game I've played in a while. Absolutely stellar build-up and great writing. The soundtrack was amazing and I was absolutely terrified towards the end. Made me feel super uneasy. Keep up the great work!

really great game really great writing. Immersive entertaining moody intro - weird ass busted window puzzle - also immersive tense spooky outro. 

Hi, I played this on steam recently, and it's awesome, but I have some feedback.

First I noticed something : when tape#1 appears, I could grab it, but I decided to keep bringing the boxes in. Later on, I could inspect it but no longer grab it, nor could I grab tape#2.

After the first night, I could grab it (so I did) and that unlocked the grab option on tape#2 and the following ones.

I was wondering if there's a reason you scripted the "grab" option to be available only at certain times for tapes.

A friend missed the first one initially, then couldn't grab it... and never checked again if he could cause he thought it would unlock later... thus none of the following tapes ever got the grab option and he missed all that.

Finally, and that echoes the recent feedback : sometimes the character won't interact with anything cause the game is expecting us to do a specific thing... which is confusing as there's no "objectives" visible on screen so some people might have missed what to do and could think the game bugged.

Again, despite those two things, the game is really cool and well made, you did a great job :)

I was really enjoying this game, But then something happened and I can no longer interact with anything. It soft-locked me. I was an hour into playing it. I do not feel like going through the process of moving all those boxes in again.
