Even though I have not seen Mandela Catalogue I still really enjoyed this game. I thought the music was interesting and fit in with the game style as well. The only thing that bugged me was I couldn't walk any faster and my dude was walking way too slow. Great game though!
Great little concept with striking visuals and a good dose of atmosphere. I'll admit I haven't seen the Mandela Catalogue (the game's inspiration), but I thought the game itself was promising nonetheless!
I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts".
This was really well done! Instead of using just jumpscares, this actually used the environment and ambient sound to create a creepy atmosphere. Great work!
Super duper fun! Though (unless I missed something) I really wish we could have got a jumpscare at the very end, yknow when the voice glitches out. Other than that it was super cool!
I GIVE IT 8/10 THERE IS NOT TO MUCH TO DO BUT THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE SOUND,SFX COVERED THAT ANYWAY I LIKED THE GAME AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL IMPROVE IT IN THE FUTURE :)
honestly, i expected this game way too much because of the environment. i expected to have like lots of jumpscares lmao. really well made game, keep up the good work!
Played this on my Channel's Series called 3 SCARY GAMES! It's the 1st game I played in the video starting at 0:44!
This game was an awesome experience! The Mandela Catalogue inspired themes to this game honestly made it even better! I also think the usage of the Murder in the Dark card game was a really nice touch and gave it a nice setup as to what was to come. As far as the actual gameplay, I feel the Atmosphere was decent, as well as the visuals. The addition of the voice acting was awesome! And overall had a really spooky experience! I think the only thing that could be adjusted was the movement speed of the character. I found it almost a little to slow for my taste, but didn't take away to much from my experience. Overall is a really cool game, and hope you continue to do more!
The intro is really creepy, the idea of what could be done with Murder in the Dark and Mandela Catalogue. It gave me the feeling of a nursery rhyme being twisted for horror games. I did get a bit stuck on working out what to do with stopping the music. Did not believe I could interact with it and searched the map in case I missed something.
Still an interesting game, and a creepy inspiration from the Mandela Catalogue.
You sir had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, the constant dread felt unbearable at times (in good way )! You sir have great vision and you haven't even scraped the surface of your potential , hope you continue to make horror games or games in general. Keep up the awesome work , I look forward to more and you've definitely got a follower in me.
This was great! A very simplistic game, but it matches the feel of an analog horror very well. Leaves a bit of wiggle room for interpretation. The audio is really well done also. Overall, a great horror experience!
man this was brilliant, it really captured that analog horror feelings, i loved and hated it at the same time, really looking forward to what you got planned for 2.0, anyone interested in my gameplay here it is, if you enjoy be sure to hit that sub button and check out the tons of other videos up for offer!

Although it was basically a walking simulator, I was getting paranoid over every turn I make in the game.
Even though I have not seen Mandela Catalogue I still really enjoyed this game. I thought the music was interesting and fit in with the game style as well. The only thing that bugged me was I couldn't walk any faster and my dude was walking way too slow. Great game though!
I have never felt more uneasy than this….just never knowing what to expect. Well done

I HAVE A HATE AND LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH DARK TUNNELS SO THIS WAS FUN :D LMAO THANKS FOR THE CREEPY AMBIENCE, THIS WAS FUN
Part of my 4 scary games! Really great game!! You caught the Vibe perfectly! make a full game!! 5/5
Short and fun, Loved it!
the last part of the game was super uncomfortable, i wish there was more analog horror
SAME! It's super fun overall!
not much to do but that honestly made it fun. You're at the complete mercy of the game the whole time.
The ending creeped me out so much lmao, i love these analog horror games
I GIVE IT 8/10 THERE IS NOT TO MUCH TO DO BUT THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE SOUND,SFX COVERED THAT ANYWAY I LIKED THE GAME AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL IMPROVE IT IN THE FUTURE :)
really like the energy in your vid! the game really freaked me out towards the end of the video
for sure! we seem to have similar content, if you ever need a critique or opinion let me know. dropped a su
A wonderful game with a wonderful analog horror atmosphere. The gameplay and screamers were a bit lacking, but the presentation covers all the wealth.
honestly, i expected this game way too much because of the environment. i expected to have like lots of jumpscares lmao. really well made game, keep up the good work!
Okay.. this got me a couple of times! Good job on the use of music to get you used to the noise so the silence later was even creepier!
The Mandela Catalogue Strikes Again - Murder In The Dark

Great game! I love the "murder in the dark" setup for it and will be looking forward to that 2.0 version if you do decide to make it!
Still an interesting game, and a creepy inspiration from the Mandela Catalogue.

Played this game on my channel! Was pretty well made, would love to see what else you'll make!
Very creepy game. Great job!
Hey this was great! Just wish it was longer, due to that I had to play 2 games related to the mandela catalogue.
Hopefully my intro and outro helped out with the theme.
Here's my video if anyone wants to check it out!
Great Game.
