The concept of Edith Finch being a horror game is such a good one. Most jumpscares were well done and had great timing. Sadly it was very hard to see at times and easy to get lost. Good game other than that !
I made a video on your game if you would like to give it a watch :)
Wow you really nailed the atmosphere here! Even though I got lost a bit I was pretty anxious the whole time. I just kept thinking "something is around this corner." Really freaked me out. The game lost a bit of it's overall scariness when the real scares with the enemy started but I think having the game end shortly after that started happening was a great idea. I enjoyed it a lot! Awesome experience in my opinion. Thanks for making it!
good atmosphere and for a new single developer its done well! Although i got abit lost not knowing where to go at one point it was enjoyable! I don't normally care for jump scares but one towards the end got me!
Also I had no issue downloading it like a couple of people mentioned
The file did not open because the Microsoft security said that the file was scanned and there were severe threats that may hold a virus. I didn't mean to be rude-
I will find it, if it is there, and fix it. unreal engine 4 does not store viruses. On the contrary, I want people to see my games and play them without any problems. I don't need to make viruses for you.
I really enjoyed what you did here. It did take me a little bit of wandering to find out what I was supposed to do, but I think the overall experience was worth it. Thank you!
I spent like 15minutes aimlessly wandering around with no intentions to do whatever is expected from me before I gave up. It is sooo fckn dark, you can´t see a damn and nothing happens in this game at all???.. Ho do others find this scary? Please consider to give some hint what to do, please give us something to overcome the PITCH BLACK hallway. Blackscreen is not scary... it is just... black, you know.... At this point the design is working against its own intentions. If you just wander around the atmosphere you try to build up is sucked up by the same 100m2 you went through for the last 20min... sorry, not good :(
You are blind) This game is not about something creepy, apparently you have not yet understood the essence. But still, thanks for playing it, any criticism is important to me)
You can make pitch black rooms and hallways and call others blind for not finding doors you cant see after randomly having to click on lamps you cant really see... but it is not my job to understand the essence, it is the job of the game to deliver it if that is your goal. Horror Games are mostly not that complicated. You tried to build up an athmosphere, if not a creepy one, than definitely one of confusion. I told you why this does not work for me at all because there is nothing to be hooked on. The tension goes away for any player that needs more than a few minutes to reach the first trigger point, which could be the case for many players. I know this is your somewhat first game, so don´t see my comment as "salt"; I just got somewhat frustrated because I spend some time trying to figure out what is expected of me (before watching videos) and I just couldn´t see like.. anything litterally.
Thanks for making this game damnedbroke! My gushness you had a way to truly scare me, my body went numb for a couple of seconds with this gameplay, truly terrifying. You have great potential as a horror game creator so keep doing it! The assets, sounds, ambiance and idea was very nicely executed in this one. I have 2 advices though, (it might have been on purpose, idk) the main screen feels a little dull and you can barely notice the name of the game, also you should totally add your dev name to the screen; the other one is direct the player to the jumpscare in case they are lost and have no idea what to do next. Aniiways, congrats on your first game!

Ummm, why does Microsoft blocks me to download this? It says this is a virus.
The file did not open because the Microsoft security said that the file was scanned and there were severe threats that may hold a virus. I didn't mean to be rude-
the file doesn't work
This almost gave me a virus-
then explain where he is and how he got there?
I will find it, if it is there, and fix it. unreal engine 4 does not store viruses. On the contrary, I want people to see my games and play them without any problems. I don't need to make viruses for you.
I didnt say it gave me a virus-
It gave me trojan, didn't open, and didn't work.
Update your antivirus base
It's a good game with a lot of fun jump scares, just not a lot of backstory, but still a lot of fun!
I really enjoyed what you did here. It did take me a little bit of wandering to find out what I was supposed to do, but I think the overall experience was worth it. Thank you!

Crazy that you just started making games! This was really good! The atmosphere was tense and had me on edge. Great work!
thanks for such a review about this game
My Windows 10 Antivirus claimed this was a Trojan:Script/Conteban.A!ml
