Eu gostei muito do fato de vocês não precisarem de Jumpscare para realizar um jogo de terror de verdade!

Gameplay PT-BR
I loved the premise, the way you have to move a box into every room is such a great way to explore the environment and the way the story moved forward was really well done. I enjoyed that it still felt like I had some sort of freedom even though it was such a linear and short game. Amazing work.
Absolutely incredible, adored The Building 71 Incident and this was no different, insane atmosphere and unsettling themes, will be thinking about this for days
thanks for let us playing this game
I don't play video games to move boxes, unpack ,and decorate. Seems that's all this is.
I'm not going to lie to you, I've been obsessing over this game since I played it, and I'm currently working on a full essay. Here's a gameplay vid to tide you over until I'm done, but if there's anything important that should go in the main essay please let me know!
I really enjoy the game. The story was great but also enjoyed the fact i didnt know what was going to happen at the end.
Beautifully done. I really enjoyed this game.
Very well could be the best horror game I've ever played.
Hi I wish I could have fully decorated the house to my liking! Be a real decorator!
Nice game with a good atmosphere but after I move all the boxes...nothing happens...
Hello, I played this game and I really enjoyed it! Great job :)
This game was really cool and interesting. I loved the interactivity and slow paced gameplay that got you immersed into the world. The story was creepy and good and it was just overall an enjoyable experience.
My friend watched me play and said: It's clear that you put a lot of work into this game and it shows. It's a beautiful piece of horror and I loved every second of it. What did the pastries mean?
Can i play your game and put a video up on my youtube channel of me playing your game
The writing and atmosphere are fantastic but I think it bugged out for me because nothing happened after the doors and windows disappeared. I was just stuck in the house without any new event triggering.
Apparently the thing you need to do, is to find the only remaining window left in the house and approach it.
This house needed a good blessing before buying it!
and so i answered it
YO SCARY CUBE! This game was something else, deep, spooky, and wild all together! Pretty fire! >:D
This was an awesome game to play and a perfect way to show and describe grief, def recommend the play through!
This was pretty cool, though I seem to have run into a bug where I can't open the door at the end of the long hallway after the paintings have appeared.
Amazing sound design
how do you play it?
like how do you play the .rar file
You need to extract the .rar, the game is inside it
Hello, I love this game and I volunteer to translate this into Turkish for my Turkish friends to play. How can I contact you?
eu adorei esse jogo, que continuem trazendo mais jogos assim!!!
Hey, I'm not sure if anyone else had this problem, but the good ending seems to be broken. After leaving the house, instead of telling me what happened, the text got stuck in "And so I answered it."
It would be nice to fix that, and also add some sort of mechanic to let us go to the end after finishing it to watch the other ending. Since is not nice to play again for 40 minutes something that you already seen, specially if nothing is going to change.
That is also other minor bugs, but they didn't break the game for me.
Add: A casa é tão brasileira q eu senti q tava na casa da minha avó xD Muito bem feita!
Had the same issue yesterday.
I sadly think I broke the game during my attempted playthrough. I was frustrated by my inability to find a spot that the game found acceptable for the encyclopedia set while unpacking the upstairs hallway box (I'd already put a bunch of crap on the shelf where there was clearly enough room for the set), so I just turned around and plopped it on the first shelf in the storage room behind me. Immediately I was unable to interact with any of the cardboard boxes, which I *think* soft-locked the game. I wandered the house for ten uneventful minutes, trying to find something changed or to trigger an event, before finally having to quit.
Until then? Phenomenal and eerie. Reminded me a bit of the film Skinamarink, from this spring.
Interesting game, enjoyed it!
One of the best horror games of this year. no cheap jumpscares, no cliche monster chase, but just pure horror, eerie environment accompanied by a deep and compelling story.
Bonus points: your name is Bruno, the coolest name ever. I'll be keeping up with you!
Hey there. I found your game on Steam and played it there and really loved it. If you like, I would give you a helping hand with a German translation. Feel free, to contact me.
This game was really good! I was not expecting it to be this long and have two endings ! Near the end I started getting a slight silent hill feel WHICH is a huge compliment in my book :) Very good horror game!
What a FANTASTIC GAME, W game dev. Gotta be in my top 5 best indie horror.
Do you you like good story driven horror? Then play this game.
Just one thing: The final words "So I answered it" didn't disappear and were still visible when the credits rolled. After that, the game didn't go back to the menu or desktop, ESC key showed "game paused".
I really enjoyed this one! It's a nice slow burn horror game that doesn't rely on jump scares and builds a nice atmosphere. I got both endings so check out the video
This was really fun!!
