short but it was pretty good! looking forward to the full release!!
It fails to extract the files every time
This is the full game for those who are interested to take a look to the gameplay:
If I have a gmaepad connected, the mouse is nonfunctional.
This is unforgivable. Fix it.
why does this have blindfriendly tag? is it fully accessible?
Scariest experience so far... Very very good job!
Hungarian playthrough:
This game really makes you feel lonely and lone inside.
I loved scanner sombre, and I love the idea of exploring an environment like this, solving puzzles and uncovering the story. But when you add in the "unfightable horror stalking and killing you" mechanic I lose all interest. Please consider adding a peaceful/story mode to broaden your audience.
I haven't played the game yet but I also have played and do remember Scanner Sombre. IMO Scanner Sombre is slow paced, but there were entities that would kill you if you walked out of bounds, and you could actually "see" them with the scanner watching you as you approached the no-go zone.
Very scary game! Keep it up as you make one of the scariest games I ever played
Amazing! Congratulations on being a solo dev and creating such a tight horror experience. I'll be buying the game on Steam after playing the first free chapter.
I did a no commentary playthrough of it, hope the game becomes a hit! :)
Thank you man! Appreciate it very much and glad you enjoyed it. Nice video! :)
