I Played the demo. this game is amazing so far.I hope the full version explains more about the stroy.THANK YOU.
THis game was so scary! I did feel like I got stuck in parts cause the cursor was hard to hit the objects i needed but all in all I crapped my pants many times lol amazing really!
Check the gameplay below!
A truly horrifying experience. Strongly recommend to anyone who is a fan of psychological horrors.
Thank you Emika-Games for reaching out to me about the full release! I'm only 30 mins in and I already hate/love the terrifying tricks you pulled. I'm gonna finish up the other parts in the coming days. Great work so far! 👏👏👏
Please check out the fun video I made!
It was a cool video! I liked it! Waiting for new episodes.
I played the demo which sold me. I bought the game and was not disappointed! Check it out!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
Liked this game a lot, also really liked the demo version (which I gave 5/5.) I liked the new areas of the house and the increased level of story. I also liked the audio effects, particularly the reversed speech. That's always a good creepy effect. I thought that the new version should have had fewer visual effects (flashing lights, shaky camera, etc.) These effects can be scary at first but they get annoying over time. Less is more.
A bug: The dresser with the lamp and telephone was supposed to have 2 photos but when I played there was only one. I had to watch a walkthrough to get through all the pictures because not all of them rendered for some reason.
Because of the exhausting flashing (I don't have seizures I just got really tired of the shaking) and the bug I'd have to say 3-3.5/5
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
Emi
lia, Kristina, & Alexandr; EMIKA! hahaha I love it! And I also loved and very much enjoyed the full release of Locked Up as well! The eerie and ominous atmosphere is nerve-wrecking, and you can feel that throughout all the diff environments you explore while progressing. The SFX you trigger act as delicious sound bytes for the horror experience, but at the same time felt over-used by the time I was snapping photos with the camera. Still a great development! I'm def following so I can be notified of the next EMIKA project!Fantastic work!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
played this its really great
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
This Game ... extremely cruelty and creepy. But it was a pleasure for me to play it.
Greetings from Germany.Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!))
This game was DEFINITELY SPOOKY!!! I Hope my LP did this game justice!!!
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
I didn't like the way I painted the Game with my previous review, so I'm going to re-write it.
This is a well crafted Horror Game with tons of suspenseful moments. It will keep You on edge for most part, and make You scream like a grown-up baby. I like the idea behind some puzzles, like unlocking a drawer by looking at a photo of the drawer, it's original and refreshing, and makes the game less "keyfind simulator". The game feels inspired by the almighty PT, but not in a boring PT Clone way. Although there's moments when You get stuck and don't know what to do, cus the levels has "triggers" that You have to activate, and that's the Games weakness imo. But overall a very pleasant experience. Strongly recommended!
Thank you for playing. I hope you had a good time in the game. The concept of the game is that you need to slowly go through the game and study the changes and observe the story.
it run's good with my dual core processor 2*3.2 Ghz / 32 GB Ram / RX580 8 GB vram ;) it looks pretty dope and the atmosphere is so amazing ;) i feel it and i want to buy so fast i can the full version ;) i love it
Finally had the courage to finish it and get the ending great game

this is what i expect from phycological horror games
intense till the end
i have purchased the full game , looking forward to see what is really going on in this house
thank you for creating this game and ill give my full review aswel on steam

Played the game all the way through. its deeply disturbing
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game! I would be grateful for an objective review in steam!
**FULL GAME**
You find yourself LOCKED UP inside a house of legitimate horrors. Reality changes around every corner. The terror that lies within will crawl under your skin. Not for the faint of heart. Can you escape this cult of terror?
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
Played the full game from Steam on my Youtube channel and loved every minute of it, one of the scariest games I have played in a long time! Great Job! I look forward to seeing your future projects!
Also, here's Part 2 to my full playthrough! :D
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
Just got this from steam can't wait to get on it!
Thanks! I will be happy to see your progress through the game.
Please make more games like this for us! :)
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game!
Finishing the game tonight, looking forward to it!
any Recent info on when controller support will be available? As I’m dying to play this game but I don’t play keyboard and mouse
Unfortunately, I wasn't planning on making a controller any time soon, but you're not the first one to ask for it, I'm starting to think about it.
How much more is in the release compared to the demo? Is it twice as much? Curious as I played the demo to the videotape area and am hoping there’s much more and not mostly a replay of the demo, plus a little bit added. Can you give a little detail to help gain a purchase?
The full version includes more than the demo version. The complete passage takes about 1 hour 30 minutes
Great, thank you so much for the quick reply! I'll be getting it asap and, most likely, playing through it tomorrow. I loved the demo. Scared me to death. Thanks again!!
Welcome!))
I got it today and played it all the way from start to finish. Took me 2.5 hours and it was awesome! The atmosphere, sounds, amount of scares. I had to take a scare break to recoup once, haha. Thank you for this game. You did an amazing job. I cannot wait for your next game or more content. 😃
I am very glad that you liked the game! Thank you for your support!
Not everyone unfortunately likes the game so much and mostly everyone has mixed reviews. so I hope that I will gather my courage and start making a new game!
wow this game right here!! is crazy and its just a demo so imagine the full game! It was intense the whole playthrough and I was ready to just get scared lol
super fun game to play, really great atmosphere throughout :)
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here if you want to:
Advantages:
1. The scares are well thought and the pacing of the game is perfect. The sense of dread and tension is created from the very first moments and stays with you through the whole adventure. I had to take breaks playing it because I was so scared and at the edge. I love it!
2. The sounds are awesome! Sound design is very important for a horror experience and I think the developers have nailed it!
3. The graphics are top hole! The potential of Unreal Engine is well used. I am so content and impressed by the result!
Disadvantages:
1. Some particular sounds seem very familiar with other horror games. Especially for jumpscares. The developers used them quite good, but it would be nice to hear something different especially for me because I play and review lots of horror games.
2. I would very much like seeing actually working mirrors. It's nice that they reflect flashlight and I know that it is so difficult to create a reflection. But that would be a nice addition due to the fact that the mirror is seen throughout the whole game.
3. This point is the most important one! Sometimes it is very difficult to know where you need to focus and what to touch. There were sections in which I was lost for good 20 minutes before realising that I was just inaccurate with my peepers peeping. Though, this game is much simpler than original P.T. in regards to this point.
Overall:
I am having a blast playing this game! So scary and so awesome! I enjoy every second of the experience and I recommend everyone buying this game if you want get spooked a good bit.
Hope my feedback was useful!
Hi! Thank you for playing! I'm glad you liked the game. According to Your comments. 1-sound in the game, I agree it is free, I worked on the game alone and my budget was very limited. 2-Mirrors reflect, but the main character does not have a body. The absence of the body is planned according to the plot. 3-a game of mindfulness, I'll simplify the puzzles a little in the next update.
Just finished it! The second part of the puzzles (with photos) is perfect! I think it was confusing to me just at the start) The game is very scary and powerful! I will ink the video when I edit it, so you can see me scream in horror being scared by your spooks) If you want to, of course)
I will definitely look! I like to watch my game being played)))
Just finished editing
That was so amazing and horrifying! Keep up the great job! Can't wait to see your next projectsWell No offense but I don't like the game... I LOVE IT. the game was really well made and I can tell that there was a LOT of time and effort spent in making it and I respect that. Great Job honestly.
Thanks for giving me a heart attack like 5 times BTW 😂
Nothing to worry about! Thank you for playing. I knew it would be an Amateur game.
No you didn't get what I meant I was joking when I said I didn't like it I really loved the game and I meant that I loved it anyway you really know how to make a scary game I'll give you that.
I was scared the whole time especially when someone blew out my lighter that was really scary Good Job!
sorry, I didn't mean to make you think that your game isn't good it is really good this ain't no Amateur game this is some high level stuff.
Thank you very much! I will try to do better!
I've done a small review of sorts on my Facebook page of this. Absolutely love the atmosphere you've created - everything from the visuals to the creepy score and the weird and spooky sound effects. Brilliant - well done and please keep on developing because you've got a talent!
Also, I've just bought the full game as I loved the demo so much! You've really created a creepy and tense environment with gorgeous visuals and amazing sounds.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it! I'm trying for you!
Некоторое время назад, мы проходили демку этой игры... на тот момент, мне очень понравилось, как в двух комнатах и одном коридоре, автор смог разместить получасовую демоверсию проекта, и несколько раз дико перепугать меня и зрителей! На данный момент игра вышла в Steam, и Разработчик любезно предоставил ключ для обзора и прохождения, чем мы с Вами и займёмся. Игра оправдала мои ожидания, сделано все добротно, атмосферно и страшно! Подробный отчёт я предоставлю в стиме, разумеется после прохождения игры на канале. И так - "Взаперти". Серия первая. Погнали!
Спасибо огромное!))
I haven't played, but it's definitely a good game
I advise you to play!
¡Congratulations, thanks for the experience
incredible game
Thank you very much!
This game was VERY spoopy
Thank you very much!)))

full version game love the way it look wish u can turn off camera effect great job on the game
Without the VHS effect, I think the atmosphere would have gotten worse.
I was so stoked when I saw you released the full game on Steam this morning! Hope it's ok I post my gameplay here, good job on the game guys! It's a little bit confusing at times but overall really enjoyed my experience.
Thank you very much! I will be grateful for feedback in the steam.
Will do!
Thank you very much!
Started playing the full version! Here is Part 1 of my playthrough! Its so good!
Thank you very much! I will be grateful for feedback in the steam.
hi ! the game crashes at the start. what can i do to fix it ? its impossible for me to play ! thks
Do you have problems with the demo or release version? Yesterday there was a problem with the launch of the game for everyone, perhaps this is the problem. Write your system requirements
The game crashes when i put the tv on. So I started again without touching the tv, and later the monster appeared in front of the tv, and the game crashed again.
Here's my computer details.
Processor
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
Video Card
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Video Card #2
NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M
RAM
6.0 GB
Operating System
Windows 8.1
Most likely the problem is due to the video card. Try reducing the render scale. in the graphics settings
Ok il will try. Thanks !
