itch.io

This was my biggest concern going into it, and I am happy that the game actually tries to be something different.

I see so many games which take the concept of Fears to Fathom and they copy it one to one. But for thankfully not this one.

The concept of making your nightmares into games is very interesting, but I feel like the story could have been worked on a bit more. The whole police arc of the story could have been left out and nothing would have changed, which is kinda sad.

Gameplay is fine, it's a UE5 game, so keep the settings below Epic or Ultra (i played it on Ultra and my 3080Ti was crying lol)

Super nice to see a checkpoint at the end, so you can quickly revert to get the other ending, I really like seeing that!

One point I made in the video was: it would have been cool if the view would change when you take the camera off (like the scan line filter disappearing when not using the camera)

I will for sure keep an eye out for new games from you!

At first I thought the animation was a bit weird, but throughout playing the game it really grew on me.

The story is so sad but I like the little actions that make it comedic, like when you hug the cow.

The game really makes you wonder how the world would be if animals were anthropomorphic. How the systems of predators and prey would play out. 

Absolutely would recommend people to try it out!

I really like the style and story of this game, how unsettling and sad it is. And let's be real, we all had that thought of going to a garage sale and thinking "I wonder what data is on that HDD" when spotting a PC xD

Though I wish there was a way to quit out of the OtherWorld program once you enter it.

The style being in Windows XP and the AOL/BuddyList chats really puts me back to using Skype in 2008 xD

And the LoseAmp player being a reference to WinAmp is also neat, with such a clever puzzle as well!

The only real "complaint" I would have is that the game feels rather short for what it is, but it does it's job well regardless!

I wonder if the Hiker can be saved lol

Took a bit to make a video on it, but I finally got around to playing the new Demo!

Cannot believe it has almost been a year..

It's really nice, I like the items a lot and the achievements add a lot of replay ability and/or grind xD

I agree with the comment below, it does need some music.

Wishlisted it on Steam and I will 100% check out the full release once it comes out!

(Also will a demo come out on Steam?)

This game is really good! I can see why it took over a year to make.

My only complain is the Post Processing of Unreal Engine. I hate how for Unreal games, it is always "everything or nothing".

For example, I would like to disable the film grain, because it makes recording videos at 1080p a nightmare, but I would like to keep Motion Blur or Depth of Field.

TAA is also just awful, I wish there was a simple way to disable it, because it makes the image so smeary and blurry in general. Maybe not at 1440p or 4k, but at 1080p it looks dreadful. This is not something directed towards Lixian, more-so Unreal Engine 4 and 5 in general.

Overall I enjoyed it a lot. The range of the axe felt a bit too low in my opinion, though.

Sound wise it's good, Music wise it's good, story wise it is silly and I like it. The gameplay loop works, especially since it's randomized runs with modifiers, and the Reset button adds replay-ability.

Definitely give it a go if you haven't yet!

To be serious for a moment, I do not see how AI could have assisted this. What was done with AI? The code? The writing? The description? The Translation?

Because I could see it for the translation, but for everything else I don't see how AI could have been a tool here, since the gameplay is super simple (so vibecoding would be weird considering there so many simple movement/interaction controller tutorials out there), the writing would suffice without AI (if it is AI then.. how and why lol)

Gameplay wise, yeah it's simple, go to Point A, then B, then C. Nothing to really mention. It's simple, does its job and it fits to being a Delivery Driver.

Story wise is.. uh.. what xD

I do not see how the Killer ending makes sense lol

Delivering pizza fast would make me a good killer? The requirements are low in this industry I see xD

All in all the game was fine, I don't want this to sound super negative or anything because it really wasn't a bad game or anything

But it was fun and surprisingly engaging. The dialogue options are fun and it did make me go back to get the different ending.

The FOV was a little too close for my liking, it felt very close and you can see through some walls when you walk up to them.

I did get stuck in the attic once, behind the door. Where I had to quit to menu and start the game again, but other than that I encountered no real game breaking bugs.

Looking forward to the Steam release, I might come back to this game when it comes out!

I did not play the original, but after FERALPALS I wanted to check out the other games you make. So this patch came in at the perfect time lol

I got 2 endings, not sure if there are more, but I enjoyed both.

The story was fine, a lot of reading xD

Sound design was good too!

I did encounter a bug, I think. When entering the closet, I could not exit it anymore, forcing me to go to the main menu and resume from the chapter select.

Other than that, I only noticed that the subtitles seem to be on different heights, and they are not centered, did not notice that in-game, but when editing.

Another really fun game.

I love the concept, and to know this was done in 72 hours is just insane to me xD

Maybe I wasn't doing the optimal strategy, but the wait to get 1 million signals dragged itself out more than it needed to.I think it's because the game gets you up and running very quickly, but then you are only limited to 1 of each Plant that produce signals.

Maybe raising it to 2 per Plant variant would have made it feel less of a drag, or maybe having more Signal plants that produce higher numbers.

Other than that, I did like that little scene at the end.

Love the art style as always!

I got both the Restoring Communication and Disrupt Communication endings, and the story had me interested, especially because of the company poster in the small hut and the breaker box on the tower.

There is a deeper story to this, and it really makes your mind wonder what happened and why does the Company have so much power lol

Kinda reminded me of the Umbrella Corporation ngl xD

Weirdly enough I had odd performance issues, I run a 3080Ti and a Ryzen 9 5900XT, but it game felt heavy. Didn't get a frametime overlay going, but it felt a bit odd to me.

Other than that I briefly got teleported to the bottom of the tower in a cutscene lol

I love the mix of tank-like/old RE controls and the first person controls. It's something I haven't seen too often and I hope the next chapter(s) play with these perspectives more.

I also hope we'll get deeper lore what exactly makes the Pals go feral and if there is a way to stop it.

Graphics wise the game looks nice, I like the low poly look of the character models a lot.

Gameplay wise I hope we'll get to do more in future chapters, instead of just walking around and running away. The game is not too punishing, checkpoints are well placed and it never felt frustrating

Writing is fun, I like the dynamic between Remy and Dan, other jokes and things are well written/placed!

Cannot wait for the next chapter!

I like that you start watching when he is still outside, rather than already in the building. It creates a really good mood for the setting, being in a dense cornfield(?) and walking to the mansion.

I feel like the game became a bit more linear, but I could be mistaken. I felt like PieJar was more in control than the player, which to be fair, is a good thing since he is just "taking suggestions".

The pacing is slower, which works better in my opinion. I manage to make him be stuck in place somehow, but that only happened once.

I love that he is the same old PieJar that I have come to love xD I feel like he got a bit dumber though, since he did not yap as much about random things or that poser Nighthound as much xD

The story/lore was really interesting, and a welcome addition from the build I played before. Finding the secrets of the mansion wants me to explore more of the lore. As well as being able to tell him to go home, to save him from his demise.

Awesome update!

This game is super interesting. I love the indirect controls through chat and seeing how he reacts to it.

I really hope this gets expanded on, this could work so well if there are more rooms, more lore (which I know is being added, even in v.2 there were new things I did not see in my playthrough).

Or maybe even multiple paths depending on what you write, maybe the streamer can get annoyed with you over time, or start to like you more, which could impact how often he follows your messages.

He loves to talk about his camera or that poser, Nighthound xD

But sometimes he will start talking about those things because of a message that should not have triggered it.

Of course I encountered some bugs, but since I played it on the old patch, take these with a grain of salt, as they are probably fixed already. I got stuck in a loop where he would not see my messages anymore, making me restart the stream. Not a huge hassle, especially in the new patch with game speed options.

I really hope this gets more updates, or maybe a full project dedicated to it. Because this gimmick has such potential. I will 100% check back in the future to see if there have been any updates!

Short and sweet, gameplay feels good, writing is great and the atmosphere sets the mood.

I also like the little details like the grave or the stairs (which I still don’t know if it actually has some secret to it or not)

Definitely need to check out Timberholt after this :)

(also I love the snow falling and fire burning, that particle system looks so nice xD)

But I am so glad to be proven wrong. This was so much fun, I had to get all endings and do all the possible things (I think I did everything at least xD)

The writing is lovely and the atmosphere is great. The little details like the reindeer moving around, the weather stations blinking, etc makes this feel so polished.

The time gimmick is also really well done, I like that you cannot do everything in one run and you have so little time to complete your tasks. Plus time only moving per task completed is nice.

I have not gotten to playing Egg Fried Rice yet, but this game makes me want to check that out as well.

3 Endings, a lot of tasks to complete, great writing, nice atmosphere. What else can I say, if you are reading this and you think about playing it for yourself, then stop reading and download this right now xD

I like how the camera slowly moves to important places to show the player exactly where to look, many games do not guide the player towards an objective and sometimes that will make players walk around trying to find the next trigger for a while.

But it was very clearly displayed here!

I like the atmosphere of it, it gave me Puppet Combo vibes, but I am glad that it did not copy the "loud = scary" format.

Though I will say: Having Santa rush at me with a handsaw was quite something xD

The gif of the trashbag sold me on playing this and I am not disappointed lol

Small little game, the driving was fun with how broken it was lol

I loved this game. So good xD

It needs (or needed) a few patches when I played it so that he doesn’t kill so easily and that the items are maybe a bit more balanced. But it was a chaotic mess and I loved it!

I also managed to finish it xD

Love the art style, love the green screen recordings, the writing is great (as usual xD)

Highly recommend playing it. It is short but sweet!

The story is super sad. It’s mysterious and horrifying, the fact you cannot help her, that you weren’t telling her the truth and the fact you took the dogs life in order to create a sentient mannequin to fill the void of losing her.

The gameplay takes a backseat, but that is fine because you keep playing for the story

I probably will play it on my own because I do wanna know the lore xD

Or maybe I’ll keep it in mind for the next time I stream lol

It got too repetitive for me, sadly.

I do love this concept, but I feel like there is not a lot of variety to the runs to keep going. Plus I was sick at the time so.. yeah that was a factor too.

I am super interested in the lore though, that I want to catch up on!

The modifier gimmick is super cool though, sadly my luck was not great xD

I did encounter a bug when you survive and your flashes deplete that same second, the game does not realize this and keeps giving the “Out of Flashes” popup 

And of course the Menu Mouse issue, that you’re aware of by now lol

Definitely a game worth trying though!

I love the art style you have, from LIDAR, Call To Summon, to Red Finger. The pixelated and dithered style is really nice!

The gameplay is simple, just push buttons and enter codes, yet it works and it sets a eerie atmosphere. The element that you cannot hold things down indefinitely and need to cool down your finger is really interesting, as it adds a challenge to it, especially when the scanner/robot appears.

For being made in 72 hours, this is really good and feels solid!

My finger sure was red at the end of the shift xD

I dowloaded this on stream because of the title. Was expecting a short 5 minute game with jumpscares.

What I got instead was an incredibly fun game. Sure there are a lot of assets used and the TTS voices are kinda annoying. But I rather have those than new AI models.

The back and forth between the PC, Ordering Kiosks and the Window is a bit annoying. Being able to call the customer on the Ordering PCs would be a great change.

The Story is stupid as hell and I love it for that. It has some broken English but that’s not a dealbreaker. There also are small notes around that add to the lore, which is a nice touch.

The gameplay is fun, it was way more in depth than I thought, and being able to create a huge mess was hilarious. I managed to jam the oven a few times, which lead to some fun moments. It can get stressful at times, especially because the game keeps the mess you create on the next day.

I know this isn’t the game’s focus, but an endless mode would be fun.

The atmosphere, the story, the map, the gimmick. It all just works so well.

A must play in my opinion!

Make sure you get their faces :)

I love the setting and the atmosphere, but also I’m sad that it ended so quickly, would have been cool if we had to deliver the tape somewhere and the game could have ended there, but oh well.

It was made up by the amazing cat xD

The atmosphere and setting are great, sadly it is rather short.

I can for sure see the Puppet Combo inspiration and I’m glad that it’s not going for the “loud = scary”

Loved the music, loved the voice acting, the story was actually quite intriguing. Wish it was a bit longer lol

A really fun short game!

I love the addition of cutscenes, that was really unexpected and a welcome addition.

I do think the game had more potential though, the ending felt a bit too fast xD

However it did say it was short with a little bit of combat, and it delivered on that promise lol

I loved the setting, it felt really good and I like the paper cutout messages, they are always so goofy to me lol

Also I got called in on a Saturday? Yikes (According to the Calendar in the office, even tho the train said 03 03 2025 xD)

I believe the language was Croatian, but if I am wrong I am sorry, the whole video kinda went with the assumption it was Croatian

I love the style and concept and would love to see this get expanded on, maybe being able to go beyond Floor 10 and maybe having the story take more focus, because the description adds some lore that the game - to my knowledge - doesn’t really touch on.

Maybe I missed something but it regardless was a fun game!

You need to use UEVR, a program you can find on GitHub. You need a Desktop/VR ready Laptop, so if you only have a Quest or Pico, then you are out of luck

Just look for "Play Unreal Engine games in VR UEVR" on Google or YouTube, there should be tutorials out there

I played this a day after it came out, so if I missed things I could not look them up xD

Wow, this was really good! Always super exciting to see what you create and this was super fun to play!

The achievements are a really good addition to the game but oh my god the symbols were tricky to find sometimes xD 

The story was very interesting, becoming increasingly insane day after day until you are just a screaming mad man. I mean, you were just doing your job, you did not kill anyone. IT WAS THE TREES!

Being alone in the forest for a week, getting hired by “a company” that we never get to know. The company clearly knows about the dangers, yet they hire people to chop down these trees anyways. How many came before you, how many more will they swipe under the rug for profits, we’ll never know.

The reporter clearly knows more, yet the player is firm on the belief that they’ll be fine, the trees tricks won’t work on them.

The Axe sounds so impactful, that is insane xD

Loved the easter eggs, loved the graffiti wall, the arrow is amazing, the paw too, I liked the paw graffiti :)

I’m sure there is more that I have not found, I might check the hame out again soon tho, since I do wanna know the other ending and all achievements.

But if you get an achievement for doing the cat, then I will be angy.

Through the entire gameplay and editing session I just felt uneasy because having arachnophobia and playing this game was a terrible idea xD

I also tried this in VR with UEVR and yeah that takes the cake, it is so damn scary in VR because the spider is SO HUGE xD

Had a great and horrible time playing this game xD 

I like the setting and idea, but the fact that is feels almost 1 to 1 is kinda sad

From the same filters, ui assets and audio assets, to the same progression the games have. It kinda just feels like a “knock off” to the FtF games sadly, because this could have been so much more.

I also had a very odd performance issue where not only was my general performance choppy (using an Intel Arc A750), but in the Gas station my view would “jump” if I look around. Limiting the game to 60FPS made it better, but the issue never fully went away.

The writing is fine. But I do feel like the characters are not talking with each other, but around each other sometimes.

Other than that, I think games should not copy the “death screen” that Fears to Fathom uses, it is fine at first but if you have to repeat certain sections the added delay of the animation (and then frozen screen) can be annoying.

Quick thing I noticed, pressing Q will open the ESC menu but you can still move around.

I know this is just the demo, but I think some customers should definitely walk to the chairs and the bathroom, which I’m sure will be in the final game. You should be able to mess up their orders and have a custom text there, or for the customer to maybe get mad and pay you less.

Writing wise it was fine so far, though I did expect the guy to be more pushy when refusing him lol

A silly and short horror game, but still made really well! When I read the key features of this game, I knew I had to try it xD

I had a ton of fun playing this, I did have something happen which I’m not sure if that is a bug or an intended thing. My view had a second, almost transparent view of the world. This could be because I’m running an Intel Arc A750, but it did not hinder the gameplay at all.

Also, I love that it was made in Godot!

Looking forward to the stuff you'll release this year!

This was really interesting, but I also think this was the most buggy game I have played from you xD

The story is super interesting and I did beat it on hard mode, but oh boy.. that was sooo frustrating xD

I could not escape the head and I somehow managed to fly directly into every obstacle lol

The game also felt buggy since when the door first opens to the generator section, I did complete it right then, the Scavenger / Monster did get stuck in the wall, probably because he accelerated too much xD

However later the game tells you to go into the generator room, which was confusing because it was already done, dying after that part closes the door and it made me think I broke it. After restarting the game I have no clue if I skipped a part of the game or smth, because earth was back to normal for some reason.

Shortly after the big head also disappeared, I do not know if that was intentional but it made the game soo much easier (I still flew into the other objects tho, then got told it was a skill issue xD)

I also managed to escape the trigger at the ending scene twice xD

Other than that, it’s super interesting, I love how every project you make is something different, they all tell different stories, have different gameplay! It was a lot of reading, which, as a dyslexic person, is my personal hell, but I wanted to know how the game ends, so I stuck to it lol

It just miight have needed a bit more polish

It very much feels personal, like the struggles this game presents are to a point real.

It’s short but at the end you get the story about the dev and the struggles about the development process, how it ended up being too much.

Not sure if the voices are AI, but it kinda sounds like it
