It may be short, but it was definitely worthwhile! I liked that the vocab sections had different options, and that tense atmosphere throughout each playthrough was very well done. It's commendable what can be done with sounds, a few pictures, and visual effects. This was creepy without being too creepy. Loved it.
Even though Im a bit rusty on my vocabulary, I'm proud of myself for getting as much as I did, but more importantly, I'm proud of YOU for making such a pants-shittingly scary horror with absolutely no jumps area! The soundscape of the whole thing was amazing, to the point where my anxious ass will have to save trying to get any of the other endings for later lmao ^^; I'm afraid for what's to come when I play again, considering I got the "good" ending!
OMG this is amazing, I would recommend this to anyone who wants a good thriller with amazing writing. I like the choices of vocab and I do love the different difficulties. Thank you Litrouke for this, I hope to see more games. Hope you and anyone reading a good day<3
Hiii, idk if you'll even see this lol but I'm a beginner coder who's been planning on making something like this for a class.... can I ask how you went about making this? Def recommending this btw, the glitchy stuff made me wanna check my door
Hey! I made it using Twine, a free low-code game dev tool. If you look for Twine on reddit, you can find a link to the Twine Discord where expert coders help out new ones.
For this game, 90% of the effects were accomplished through CSS. There's very little "actual" coding (Javascript, etc.) going on, other than some basic variable tracking. Hope that helps!
So uhhh, I got the final ending, and dude bro, I am SO sorry. Also I was lowkey surprised I managed to turn my phone off, I barely manage to get through things like these without watching a playthrough. I was so nervous I literally checked the man before and after every single question in session C. I don't know if that was what made the the ending trigger, but hey, at least it worked out!
welp this game either disturbed me or made me laugh inside. IDK anymore honestly, which means it did it's job XD. 7/10 and to anyone else reading this you can check out this video if you want this is mainly just here to add to the review
this game was epic! i liked how there weren't really any jumpscares, but you get this sense of dread (because of the sounds..) i got the good ending, and i will definitely be playing again to get the bad ending. thank you so much for making it! <3
this was a really cool way of approaching this type of game...i think it wouldve been better if we could move around but it was a great game overall coz the sounds could really just make you imagine anything. this is actually a fear of mine....included in "playing 3 scary games"
Thanks for the warning ;w; I have autophobia so when I'm alone and not distracted I always check behind me or someone/something, so this is really helpful to know lol
THAT ENdiNG FOR GOOD IS CREEPY I GOT BAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THE FRIEND WOULD BE THE GUY LOL, COULD YOU ADD A POLICE OPTION... actually wait... OH GOD
A very cool game, even tho there are no jumpscares it still gives off a vibe that there are and the fact that (spoilers)
your friend remebers what happend before and that he actually tries to help you is a nice detail, i thought i was gonna get jumpscared like 5 times and when i didn't i just got even more scared, great game, hope you do more stuff like this in the future!
Heavens, I played this during the day and gosh, my sister kept on giving me the looks because I was so anxious while playing! No jumpscares (which is one of the things I loved) and the atmosphere is scary and very immersive! I got goosebumps when I finally got the final ending! I don't know if this game has any continuation, but I feel like the story deserves to get explored even more. No pressure on the creator, of course! But I would love it if we can solve the mystery after that cliffhanger with the player's friend. ><
A horror game disguised as a study tool, with layers built-in to assure the player practices words that get increasingly more sinister, but also learns you what paranoia feels like. If you feel like playing a short game with amazing ambient audio, and experience what it is to be home alone while someone is watching you through your window, this is your chance.

I got the bad ending and it was really creepy. Definitely worth it. Don’t know how to get the good ending though.
The good and bad ending depend on your vocab score, whereas the final ending needs something extra to trigger it :)
Ohhhh. Gotcha.

No jumpscare solidarity :)
A very subtle tense vibe, I liked it a lot

I got all the vocab right, but then I replayed and got it all wrong and died :P

WOW I am stupid. Great game! I need to read more-
the antecipation for a jumpscare made me feel uneasy throughout the whole thing. 10/10
great game
Nice! I love this game! :D
Really creepy, liked it very much! Got all 3 endings
k i felt uneasy the whole time good job
good atmosphere and the way the game gets you immersed into it! but i don't get the final ending? am i just dumb?
good ending (bearly) :( 8===D i have all endings lol
The clicking noises at the end of the good ending sounding like they were really coming from behind me! The barking woke up my cat. Good Audio Quality
Thanks for the warning ;w; I have autophobia so when I'm alone and not distracted I always check behind me or someone/something, so this is really helpful to know lol
I hadn't even thought about that! I'm happy that this helped you. I'd say the game is just as creepy without sound.
I spent like 3 hours on this. Time well spent.
We love to see the dedication 👏
THAT ENdiNG FOR GOOD IS CREEPY I GOT BAD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT THE FRIEND WOULD BE THE GUY LOL, COULD YOU ADD A POLICE OPTION... actually wait... OH GOD
I loved it
lol well i was alone at home and it really scared me sooo i haven't finished it but omg the atmosphere was so creepy damn-
HOLY SH*T NICE GAME!! The atmosperic horror without the jumpscares keeps you on edge and the plot was very good! Kudos to you:)
YES, NICE GAME BRO
I played all the difficulties (my favorite was hard but they were all v good) and was able to get all 3 endings with no outside knowledge
Wow! You really know how to make a creepy atmosphere! The word challenges were pretty fun too and it's paced really well!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it all
A very cool game, even tho there are no jumpscares it still gives off a vibe that there are and the fact that (spoilers)

Thanks so much! I try to avoid jumpscares as much as possible to challenge myself to scare players in other ways. <3

Aww, thanks so much! Glad you had a great time. No plans for continuation, I'm afraid, but you're always welcome to speculate ;)
This was pretty creepy and disturbing,especially when you sit in total darkness,i was expecting a screamer,good atmosphere though
so i know that i can turn off the phone but how
