This is such and interesting concept + good execution! (also as a writer I was ashamed of my vocab score :') )
it would be so funny if this game got turned into an actual study game in which you'd implement your own vocab words in to memorize them lolol
really good)
damn, got a good ending (barely)
It would be better if visual jumpscares are added. While it is even creepy enough with sounds.
Most of the time, jumpscares only scare you instead of making the game actually scary. They would break the atmosphere, and I personally woudn't like that, since this game specifically is presented as atmospheric horror.
I agree. If it had jumpscares, i wouldnt like it nearly as much as I do currently. Jumpscares are such eyerollers imo.
True a lot of jumpscares are annoying but for example one at the end would definitely make the game better.
我需要汉化("▔□▔)
got 2 endings for this one, it was a unique experience, im glad i played this :3 even though it didnt have any visual jumpscares, i was nervous to look at the screen for the outcome......
THIS WAS FUN, tho i wonder how the hard mode plays out cuz the normal mode was too much for me BUT OVERALL THIS GAME WAS SUPER FUN THANK YOU SO MUCH LITROUKE FOR THIS REALLY FUN AND COOL GAME (i shat myself while playing this)
Really cool game! Loved the vocab quiz!
how to get to the real good ending???!!!!!!! i played it 3 times and i just got a good ending(barely), im not scared now, i just want to finish this game!!!!!!! btw the game is great, definitely worth a play
I got each ending on each difficulty setting so it might be related to that
i was shitless scared during the game, checking the windows made me so anxious but surprisingly i got the good endling? heheh
This is me before playing the game bored hungry looking for some fun maybe even scary time is 7:04pm
Me after spooked a little sad because i didn't get the good ending but all thus far good game time 7:27 because i played it twice
me before playing: interested, relaxed, silly, goofy
time: 12:59pm
me after playing: spooked, still silly, still goofy
time: 1:15pm
This was fun!
maybe its cause its 9am, but the bad ending wasn't so scary
Took me a while to get the bad ending, it was genuinely so spooky though! I'm kinda scared to look through my window now though
i'm joining the trend. This is me b4 pllaying the game: it's currently 3:19 in the morning, im bored and trying to find anything to entertain myself.
m'am, i'm a little scared rn..
I just love the atmosphere of the game, is so well done. Things like the sounds of cars and dogs barking add some layer of realism that's honestly a bit scary... I loved it
since this is a trend, this is me before i play the game! its currently midnight and i have NO FEAR
nvm i was twaekin too much spook
this is me b4 playing, kinda bored
Very good game, gotta say i was anxious and constantly checking the window defiently worth playing
this is me before playing this game! im feeling happy rn
im scared im not even a second in this game
lol i was constantly checking the window through out and just kept going
scary as shit! good job
Wow. Who knew people were so extreme about vocab... and who knew I was so bad at it... In all seriousness, this game was so creepy. It was such a slow burn too, where you aren't sure what might come next, and that it made the atmosphere even more terrifying.
For some reason my audio didn't work and the text was a different font for the first like three attempts,(?) but that just made it even creepier when it kicked in my last go around. It was like a whole new and even better experience. It just goes to show that you really know how to make an audio based horror game scary even without the audio itself. That requires real talent to do. I highly recommend this game. If anyone is wondering if they should play, the answer is without a doubt.
what does the broken glass mean........................ i got the good ending
same
why do i keep getting bad endings i got 28 outta 30 and keep checking on him
did u call mom or the friend over, try getting 30\30
i love this game tho it's pretty cool :3
Lain!!
very fucking scary
ayo, not bad at all. i thought it will be just another bad game. it's not
OMG, this game had me on the edge of my seat because at first when i didn't see him in the window anymore i thought that the person i had been texting was the guy standing and it terrified me but then i got the good ending, i got all the endings btw, that was just something i had to say because it was so well made, as i am a game critic i rate this a 10/10. good job at making me scared to look outside my window!
i got good (barely) ending and bad ending.. how do u get the other one? by clearing 30/30? what else? the mom or the friend?
chat I kina didn't understnad the ending, I got good ending on easy, and idk what the cracked window means
absolutely amazing. got the final ending and i was not disappointed. i will make all my friends and family members play this
GOD I LOVE THIS GAME, WHEN I KEPT ON PLAYING THE LORE UNVEILS ITSELF OMG. Got the final ending it's so gooooodddd yaaaasss
Can u explain the plot pls
Skinwalker makes sure you get your English done right.
this is why i need to read the game first. Been hiding from my screen expecting for jumpscares.
No Jumpscares?
Not sure why people are getting the bad ending. All I did was constantly check the window and also reply truthfully. I got 29 out of 30 and still got good ending
You get the bad ending by choosing the "call mom" option. but you get the final ending after doing both of them
Guys you should help him
Because of this game, I will now dedicate a few hours to the dictionary lol. I literally was stumped. Good game, I got bad endings twice though lol >.<
im not mad i got the bad ending 3 times in a row, im mad upon realizing how bad my vocab is
Fun game. Curious as to what triggers the different endings. Is it the different difficulties, or whether or not you call the mom or the friend, or how well you do on the vocab? Or how often you look outside? Or is it just in a preset order, or even randomized? Also I noticed the third time that the friend was talking about seeing the man *again*; was that only on the third runthrough it was the second different too? (I assumed it would be the same so I didn't pay attention to the text). Played normal the first time with 28/30, called the friend, pretty much never looked outside unless it was forced, good end. Second round I did easy, got 30/30, called mom, looked outside a lot, good end (barely). Third time I did hard, got 15/30 (also, is the last question a forced incorrect answer or is something just wrong with the mouse tracking on my laptop?), might have looked outside once?, no option to call mom or the friend, bad end.
Also is the "how did you see him outside" just about the window being cracked?
My two biggest gripes with the game are how slow the text is, with no way to manually progress it, and that at the initial "I should look out the window first," instead of just clicking on the magnifying glass you have to click on an extra menu that opens up from it. It's already pretty clear from the onscreen prompts what you're supposed to click on so it just adds an extra step.
1. i think it depends mostly on how you do at the vocab, because i tested it doing well and looking, and doing well without looking, and never got a bad ending. tried mom and friend.
2. i think the forced answer is forced, not your laptop, i had it happen but idr if it was every time
3. yes the window being cracked :)
TYSM!
