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!
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!
How are y'all managing to get the other endings, I got the bad ending 3 times in a row, on all 3 difficulty levels
为什么没有中文😭
got the bad ending, was a cool little, short game, funny to try and rack my brain on the vocab too!
!!SPOILER!!
I got all endings, I think its cool how the man travels to friend lol
Such a good game. I got the bad ending.
Why did you send me this? Was no context needed?
yup just cause it funni
and cuz it ur reward for bad ending
game froze after i got a question mark :/
i dont understand what is that meaning:(
but its a little scared
几乎看不懂哇哇
看见中文了好开心
ooooh it was such a good game！i REALLY LOVE it(˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)
it did help my vocabXDDD
but i don’t know how to get the final ending…can someone please tell me :-(
what is primary-related to monkeys lmaoo
holy f dear i know how to do the finale ending omg it easier than i thought
I really enjoyed this game and it did thrill me a bit… I like how the developers played w the sound effects at the same time visualized the meaning of the vocab. Literally it pulled me back to my childhood time when I’m all alone at home, how I had to stop myself from panicking about the wind howling outside, also footsteps at the staircase of the apartment.
Oh btw earlier today I just figured out that I only have the vocabulary count of a 10 year old, and indeed this game proved that to me lol… Had to stop and search for explanations when I’m playing Normal and Hard mode… Had a hard time reaching the final end.
Thanks again for this amazing game. And if the friend who introduced me to this game saw my comment, thanks to you too.^^
Very good game made my vocabulary spin. (tbh this game also reminds me that I haven’t completed the Duolingo streak yet so imma have to do that )
Very useful game for me to improve my vocabulary! All 3 endings collected within about half an hour (I guess) That friend of mine was soooo kind to help😭😭wish there will be an ending of me helping him back!
Good game ,i learned some new words and i restarted the game 5th.But i am still couldn't figure out the final end :(
Did you restart the game on the same webpage? Don’t do refresh maybe that would help…
Thanks,it did help ^-^
very good game, makes me memorize vocabulary
excuse moi
wtf is that supposed to mean?
at the very beginning , like when the texts begin, if you scroll up a bit (as much as is possible) you can see that the player tells the friend that after he does his vocab he'd be free to hang out. So (even though I too at first thought it was a sinister thing) its just the friend telling you to hurry up and finish your homework so you can go hang out.
This game proved that I am both smarter and dumber than I thought. Here's my playthrough if anyone's interested!
This game's mechanics were really original, i loved how it the conversations and options kept changing as you replayed the game.
