NGL, I'm not a horror gamer. but that was a really fun experience. I can see this going further into something bigger and deeper. I'm looking forward to whatever comes next.
Thanks for playing!
I love the atmosphere you crafted within this game. It felt sketchy, dangerous, and unnerving. The perfect setting for a horror game! The mini games were easy to understand and were fun. I like how I didn't get lost like how I would in most horror games. Also having 2 endings is really cool because it makes me want to play the game again and try something different. Great game overall and looking forward to the future of this game series!!
Thanks for playing!
Nice!
Thanks for playing!
Had lots of fun actually had me jump in my seat a little bit a few times and I found that the game functions like the stillness and noise meter was a great touch and i actually died once or twice which im glad it made the game have a little challenge. 5 stars!!
Thanks for playing!
5 stars
Thanks for playing!
honestly not bad kid, feel like the ending could have more to it tho. great going!
it does exactly what you want from an indie horror game! and the lore connects to the dev's other horror game, which is fun to spot!
Thanks for playing!
Thanks for playing and the feedback! Will be taken into consideration for future projects.
A pretty great indie horror game, and IT'S FREE! A game being a prequel to another game made by the same creator is always really cool to see.
The atmosphere of this game and the map layout are very well-suited for the type of game, and the story leading up to The Pit Stop adds a whole other layer to the experience.
As someone who playtested this game before release, I can truly say the creator loves making games and really listens to all feedback given. The level of improvement I've seen throughout all of his previous works gives me a lot of hope for any future games. Keep it up!
Thanks for playing and helping with playtesting!
Hurry before The Higher Up shows up! Check out this no commentary full walkthrough with all endings and hidden achievements, and then experience the game for yourself!
I had a blast playing this! The overall tone and spooky atmosphere were absolutely spot on. The final game mechanics of having to balance your noise levels while trying to escape made the entire gameplay experience so much more intense and gripping. I also really loved hunting for the different endings (including my wild goose chase for a rumored third one that turned out not to exist!). Huge shoutout to White Patch Games for being so awesome and taking the time to reply back to my questions. I am definitely looking forward to the next game!
Thank you for playing and the great feedback. Excited to watch your playthrough!
Great game! So I have got the two ending but feel like there has to be at least one more but I have played through the whole game a number of times now trying every combination I can think of, just curious if I am looking for something that isn't there? It says multiple ending and "secret achievements" not sure if that means a third ending? Thanks for the fun!
Thanks for playing! While there is only two true endings, without spoiling anything, there is a secret button on the main menu somewhere that unlocks the hidden achievements tab! Good luck.
Thanks for the quick reply! Got it! ...are there just the two? (Sorry I really like this game and want to 100% it for the video)
Yup, two endings and two achievements and thats all the content in the game. Thanks for covering it on your Youtube channel, much appreciated!
Quick fun horror game with more content than you'd think! 5/5 for a free game!
Thanks for playing!
