WONDERFULLY written; I swear! I love the slow progression shown through the emails. What I found ESPECIALLY clever pacing was the denial from MC, followed by a single crow caw. MASTERFUL.
Wow, that was better than expected. The mood increased from minute to minute. Nice creepy story but I have 2 points of criticism.
1. I would have hoped for a little more about the end.
2. The longer it went on, the scarier it became, so I'd be happier if the game went on longer.
Thank you for your very good work
3 /5 stars
Damn, it really had that spooky vibe! I remember my time on Quotev where it was pretty common to share chainmail and just jokingly hope the "curse" wouldn't be passed on to us, Creepypasta was a big thing (at least on my time and my interest) so the chainmail really fit in. I feel real bad for Dave, dude didn't deserve it yet none of them did. I like how there was this build up where you form a sort of bond with Dave through Bob (classic Bob) and just get to see how everything goes from slightly creepy to Holy Shit Is Dave Okay????
It's a nice little work! Had some fun with it!
Hey, I'm looking for a new horror game to play, but I don't do well with jumpscares- does this have any?
Awesome and unique game, really good spooked along the way and kinda feel bad for the poor fellow. Just a note, it may be just me but after reading so much in such a white background it became kinda hard, no wonder why new apps have dark mode.
Overall great game, hope to see other small stories told like this in the future!
Haha, ill be sure to include a Dark Mode if i make another game like this. lol
That was pretty great! I don't know if it's supposed to continue after ->(SPOILERS)
it returns back to the menu. Got the email that said thank you and that she can see again, but I'm definitely not sure if it's supposed to continue after that.
No, that is the end. Its pretty short, but i'm glad you liked it. :)
