Great atmosphere! Although I wish there were sounds it would have made the game a lot spookier! Also, the doors were a little problematic because I didn't know which to open so I just spammed them all. Apart from that, good game!
Interested in seeing where it goes. I feel one of the biggest things that could be improved in the demo is the inclusion of more story, what we get is pretty.. eh? Graphically it looks fine, the audio design is pretty good but it feels empty (radio is just noise, as far as I can tell). Maybe I missed out on a few scare sequences or some story elements, if so I'd love to know so I can revisit and give it another look. The bloody, plain white shirt is a little comical if it's supposed to be the 'borrowed shirt' mentioned in the letter we find.
oh yeah it’s meant to be a lil funny. Especially the chair. Lol I can’t stop laughing about that. But yeah I am currently working on the full game. After all I am working on this game alone.
Thank you for making this game. This game kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish I cant wait for the full release! Do you have an estimated time for the full release? I would love to play the full game on my channel!
I do not have the estimated time but I am diligently working on its development. Esther is a solo project that I wanted to put out. Thank you for playing the teaser demo though and I really appreciate it.
I see you have fixed quite a few bugs, but unfortunately, I played a version without those fixes. So, let's set those bugs aside and focus on the game itself. I always appreciate well textured environments, as it helps in making a story more believable. On that end you scored well. Although the 'loop' element has been used extensively by many DEVs, you manage to keep it fresh and intriguing, so the flow of the story itself doesn't get interrupted. Thus, the overall verdict is a positive one, as you have kindled my interest in wanting to know more and how this story will unfold in its final, full version.
To be fair I will not comment on the bugs, as you have corrected many already. So, well done and kudos to all involved!
thank you so much for the feedback. I am currently working on making the full game. This was solo project I have been wanting to put out. Once again thank you for the feedback it means so much to me.
Thanks for playing. I apologize for the copyright issue, when the full game releases it will be different. I am posting sneakpeaks to that on my Twitter linked in my bio.
Really interesting game for sure. I would fix the books clipping through the bookshelf and the monster(?) on the bookshelf as well. Beyond that, nice job.
oh yes I was able to fix that in the recent patch. But hopefully people find out. Anyways thank you for playing. I think next time I’ll have to gather a few playtesters before I publish another game.
Muy buen juego, la verdad me gusto mucho la temática, tiene uno que otro bug, pero en general la ambientación e historia que nos plantea el juego es muy buena, definitivamente muy buen juego 10/10
Duración del juego: 5 - 10 minutos Aproximadamente
For being a demo, this was not bad, definitely creepy at the second loop. Found some strange bug with the lighting w/ the flashlight, if you get really close to a wall, shelf, etc, this weird line shows up. Apart from that not bad. Made a video on it.
thank you for playing it. To make things clearer the light issue might be because I disabled the shadow on the flashlight in order to give players the maximum amount to view within their surroundings. But certainly will be something that will be fixed for the full game. Once again thank you.
thank you for playing. I am still trying to figure out that door issue. I guess it’s a bug that I will have to look into when putting together the final game.
I believe I fixed the issue where the model appears in the bookshelf in the recent patch. But glad you played the demo. Still working on a few bugs here and there. Thank You
Oh I see, the chair going through the closed door was not supposed to happen lol. I am working on a few patches to fix some of these small bugs that are happening. But in the meantime thanks for playing.

Loved the Game!! German Gameplay here! <3 ↓
Thank You
There wasnt much to the demo but it seems promising ! Im looking forward to seeing more of it ! Good luck :) Your game is first and starts at 00:08
Game inspired by Hideo Kojima's Silent Hills
The game is fantastic. The Graphics The sounds game is extremely frightening, bro.
Great atmosphere! Although I wish there were sounds it would have made the game a lot spookier! Also, the doors were a little problematic because I didn't know which to open so I just spammed them all. Apart from that, good game!
Nice Game! I loved playing your game
Thank You

The radio isn't just "noise"... it's one of the main songs from the Fallout series
By noise I mean completely unrelated to the narrative experience of the demo, as far as I can tell it has no bearing whatsoever.
This was a fantastic demo! Can't wait to see what the full game is like! Great job!
thank you
Opening is very slow, good scares tho!
yeah it’s meant to not tell a lot since it was a teaser demo. However the full game is gonna be a lil different.
thanks
was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
Looks like I did my job then. Thanks for the video. 👍
The bathroom sequence absolutely terrified me! What'd you think?

This game is so good! The sound alone is very impressive. neither me or my roomate could make it through. However
my desktop randomly stopped recording audio. But you have got to experience it yourself.oh dang I am surprised you guys couldn’t make it through.

Solo, you say? That makes it even more impressive!
I made a video on your game (19:36)
awesome
Amazing game really looking forward to it's full release. You really done a great job on the psychological horror element to the game.
Thanks for making this game~ (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Note: To all who are playing my game I thank you guys all. However I made some some minor changes to the environment and fixed a particular bug.
I enjoyed this, I do hope to see the full release! I loved the atmosphere. Here is my review of your demo! I wish it went on a little longer too
Really enjoyed the video - shame about the copyright claim my video got though - fun to play
Thanks for playing. I apologize for the copyright issue, when the full game releases it will be different. I am posting sneakpeaks to that on my Twitter linked in my bio.
Great demo!!! This game had me turning around as if there was a killer or something behind me. I don't know why.
thank you. Lol. The demo was meant to be creepy not scary.
Muy buen juego , me a gustado . a esperar que saquen la version completa .
DEVS.... I will be playing your game live tomorrow 6/30 around 630-7 PM EST. Love playing these itch games and making them known =D.
Twitch.tv/twallsx4
awesome
definitely getting Is Simon There/Suite 776 vibes...cant wait to try the full version. will it release on itch or steam?
It will most likely be released on itch first
Really interesting game for sure. I would fix the books clipping through the bookshelf and the monster(?) on the bookshelf as well. Beyond that, nice job.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/@Levont

Not bad, but wasn’t exactly scary.
Hopefully I can make it up to you for the full release ;)
but thanks for playing
I have faith that you will! The tension was really good in the demo!
Its a nice game, well done!
Thank You <3

Oh that is an interesting bug. I think I may have fixed that in the recent update. But I may be wrong. Thank you for playing anyways.
Not a bad little game, good work :)
Edit: video will be uploaded in a few hours.

good game man i like it
thank you so much
That was pretty damn creepy! I'll definitely be back for the full version. Esther is up to no good haha, Thanks!
thank you for playing. I am still trying to figure out that door issue. I guess it’s a bug that I will have to look into when putting together the final game.
I know its a demo but it is a bit dull. It looks very good and I see potential! Keep it up and I will be back to play more.
thank you so much. Oh yeah for sure but the full game will most likely have some more refined things.
nice creepy
I believe I fixed the issue where the model appears in the bookshelf in the recent patch. But glad you played the demo. Still working on a few bugs here and there. Thank You
I enjoyed the demo! Even if the chair swang right through a closed door, this demo was good. Gonna be waiting for the full game!

Hi, just to tell you that when I try to open the zip file it says the file is corrupted.
