Was very interesting
Thanks for checking it out!
I enjoyed the game. Thank you Dev.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for checking it out!
No problem
This game is a ton of fun! I've noticed a few different things on different runs. If you're reading this you should play it!
Glad to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
the game was ok not alot of scaries the only jumpscare that actually almost got me was at the very end of the game other than that it was mostly just a simple walking sim type game tbh
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I pretty much agree. Whatever I make next will probably still be kinda walking sim typish, but I'm hoping to at least improve the scariness overall, which is taking longer than I thought lol
hahah its no worries brother I have played many many horror games and I can say one of the things that creeps me out the most is the ambience and make sure not to revel your enemies or scares to early on its good to build them up and avoid using to many jump scares cuz that just gets annoying as a player or content creator after awhile I hope this helps with your work in the future
Short but sweet! Fund it via:
Thanks for checking it out!
I THINK MY THUMBNAIL SAYS ENOUGH!!!
It definitely does lol! Thanks for checking it out!
Fun and scary

I've decided that I'm truly immune to being scared in games now! Jumpscares? No longer a problem!
Good to hear that lol! Thanks for checking it out!

Naja es war halt ein Spiel

There's a fair chance lol. Thanks for checking it out!
I absolutely loved this. Easily in my top 5 best itch games. Your scares were in all the right places. Please make more of this. ^_^
Glad to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks for checking it out!

Gave it a go...
Thanks for checking it out!
Very creepy great work on this game. I got a copyright claim on your game with the ending music from something called bound by blood.
I see. I was just hoping the song wouldn't cause any claims but thanks for letting me know it did. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future. Thanks for checking it out!
Ok thanks for getting back to me.
I had fun playing this game :) it was the toilet part for me xD
Good to hear that lol! Thanks for checking it out!
Very cool concept. The jump scares are kind of old but it's a fun short game. I liked it.

Glad to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
No problem. Keep making good games! If there is anything new I will check it out.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out the game here (the 2d game is the there):
Advantages:
1. The game has lots of scares and I love that some of them can actually be missed out (makes the player investigate the place meticulously).
2. The ending is cool! I love that there is something more to the game than going from one jumpscare to another!
Disadvantages:
1. Well, jumpscares are powerful but cheap. I think it would be cool to see the game building tension and suspense! Moreover, loud sounds is not the only tool, the scare with a guy sitting at the table near the note was the most powerful of them all (but sadly my vid lagged right at that moment). I wish to see more subtle scares like that one!
2. The girl standing in the woods - creepy but awkward. It's awkward that you can come to her and run around a couple of times. Very strange. It'd be cooler if she'd move or would not allow the player to come closer.
Overall:
The game is fun! Personally, I just don't like jumpscares that's why I whine a lot about it ahah. But the game is scary, so it does its job) Yet, for me it's 4/5 because there is still room for improvement.
Hope my feedback was useful!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah I pretty much agree. I'm not a fan of jumpscares either, so it's good to hear that the less obvious scares were more impactful. Definitely gonna try a more suspenseful atmosphere in the future!
I can't wait! Will definitely check out your future projects!
Thanks so much for making this game Cody! It was kind of simple, but well done. I especially loved the ending and might have saw that coming, but still surprised me. I guess we all some strange nightmares sometimes.
Glad to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
Not bad for a bite-sized horror game! Love playing these one off indie games! That first jumpscare got me, the others were kind of not so intense. But overall, really decent game!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!
MINI REVIEW: Takes roughly 5 - 10 Minutes to complete. Has a good atmospheric feel to it. Few tiny details which made me jump like certain sounds, so that was a nice touch. No bugs encountered and overall a neat little game with a nice little ending.
Glad to hear that review! Thanks for checking it out!
Fun game so far the initial jump scare got me I won't lie lol thanks for the work and hope to see more content in the future!
Good to hear lol! Thanks for checking it out!
game dev... WHAT CAN I SAY, THE GAME HAS HEART ATTACK JUMPSCARES PEOPLE XD
Good to hear lol! Thanks for checking it out!
I found this game to be scarier than I thought first going into it. I play a lot of horror games; enough to believe that I’ve seen pretty much everything before, and very few scares could get me as a result. But Another Nightmare got me a couple of times, and makes use of a few techniques I haven’t seen in horror games for awhile now. Well made and certainly spooky, I suggest giving this brief spook a try.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!
/edit/basic
its okay but pls another monster xD
I agree lol! Thanks for checking it out!
this page font color is too dark and can not be read, i suggest to change the font color to maybe white
Thanks for letting me know! I like the dark red and black look but yeah I was definitely concerned if those colors plus the font style itself would make it a little hard to see. Just made the red brighter so hopefully that helps
np, can you maybe rate and comment on my game, i would appreaciate it: https://mehrdadsh.itch.io/eli-was-sad
Glad to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
Just finished playing this game and still feel good about it. Loved the jumpscares, I wasn't expecting that many! It was nicely spaced out and there wasn't a time where I got bored- couldn't figure out the ending at first from how dark my screen was but other than that it was awesome!
Glad to hear that! Thanks for checking it out!
Glad to hear that, except for the deletion part lol. Thanks for checking it out again!
Thanks for checking it out!
I really liked the buildup and payoff for the closet scare. The premise of someone who's suffered so many nightmares they're starting to predict them is quite interesting.
When I interacted with the sink the first time the camera spun around but there was no audio or visual change. Was something supposed to happen or is it just spooky ghosts grabbin' my camera?
Great work, keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! Yeah there's no actual scare for the sink. I just added that to see how people would react to your character turning around but with no actual jumpscape. It was definitely one of the more experimental ideas lol.

Glad to hear! Thanks for checking it out!
