Hey Geoff thanks again for making this game! You really nailed it with the motivational quotes in this and Erik, he such a terrible intern, I gotta take that out of my chest. I found the topic for this game really unique, having an interview is just as horrible as each of the jumpscares of my video, so well done portraying it here!
Hey, Geoff, great first project! I think your gamedev work shows a ton of promise and the mood you captured is definitely a bit weird and creepy but mostly just amusing!
If you would like assets for your next project, or if anyone else here is doing creative gamedev stuff, you may want to take a moment to view this sale I am running:
93% off a lot of game assets (97 cents for 2000+ asset files, as stated in the link) and there are some free ones available as well!
And I am welcoming suggestions for future (realistic looking but also efficiently built) assets added to these collections so if you need a 3d modeled item, Geoff... let me know, there is a good chance I will add it!
hey whats up familia my name is isak, i recently played your game. the game was really fun, the play style was a good combo of humor with an undertone of spooks. well made!. traversing thru the caves was probably the part that made me feel the most unease as i felt something could jump at as any moment and the ending, that was a twist being attack by that thing... .keep up the great work!
Brooo your game is very creative and entertaining. I have a quiestion, do you make the assets yourself or you obtained them from asset store or something. I like the design.
Thanks! Most models are assets I obtained, either free or purchased, from various places. I replaced most of the textures and materials. Some textures were close to the look I wanted but I did modify those too. I wanted to create a unified look so a lot of that work was making sure hues, values, contrast, and saturation worked together across the various textures and materials. All the titles, menus, signs, posters, and dialog were created from scratch. I completed this over the course of two months on nights and weekends. Working a little bit here and there.
Honestly I feel like this game very accurately represents my feelings towards corporate/business life. It's just sucking you and your soul dry for the profit of someone else's million dollar company, while you're left with a mediocre pay check, sleep deprivation and a full blown burn out. Really interesting concept and the atmosphere was perfect! I'd love to see this concept reappear in a future game some time, for example with a full in depth story line or something like that!
Especially since this is your first game, I'd say you did a really good job on this one! ;D
sensitivity is a bit but thats honestly my only problem with it its good and kinda creepy and still has a sense of humor over all 7/10 if you want to see my full reaction to this game here is my play through
if you watched i appreciate it and consider subscribing it really helps my channel grow
Thank God, it was not a real horror types! I was playing this at the night and I'm kinda chicken when it comes to horror games. The environment looked spooky, especially the cubicles scene when the cutout stood just behind me, I was almost about to scream! Maybe it was all because of the environment being eerie. This was a short entertainer tbh. Good work!!
Atmosphere on this game is pretty on point if the sound effects were ramped up a bit more this could have been terrifying. The cardboard cutout still managed to almost kill me IRL. Definitely a promising little project would love to see the creators tackle a bigger project. The graphics and premise are on point.
Thanks for the video and feedback. Who knew cardboard could be so frightening? In developing it and playing it so many times, I was surprised how often that kept scaring me even when I knew where they were going to be. Thanks again.
I tried this game out on stream, and I thought the robot spider part would be more terrifying, but I liked the eerieness of a forest and broken down work facility. It's not like something you'd see in a normal horror game. Many others have described this atypical.
Definitely a different path of a game and I would love to see more. If we saw like a sneak preview of what was to come in the caves / tunnel it would've made it a more intense atmosphere. Still a good little game and the ending definitely through me off.
Gotta say it was strange and different I like that. I like the direction of technology being the 'monster' rather than ghosts or zombies or demons as to be honest thats getting old. Nice to see a fresh idea. Please expand on this as I loved the experience and would love to see more of this world to see more and to hear my reactions please see the video.
Thanks for the video and the thoughts. I was definitely going for something atypical re: horror here so it’s cool you picked up on that. I uploaded a new version last night that fixed the bug at the end where you don’t respawn in a consistent place. You managed fine though. Thanks again!
It was a great game and cool to know about the fix. Keep on creating my friend I really want to see what you can make as I shall be posting that for many to see to.
Quite the cool game! Not overall scary, but the atmosphere was very unsettling, and I must admit the cardboard cutout gave me quite the scare haha.
The graphics were good, the audio pretty good too. It is somewhat of a shame that the choices do not affect the game in any meaningful matter, but the is quite the project to go into when doing so.
The gameplay was good, and the story, although vague, was nice too.

is this game ok for kids to pla
Thanks for playing! Appreciate the video and feedback.
Had a blast playing this game! Nice unique concept, and it was executed really well. Overall good job dev!
Thanks! I appreciate the video and the thoughts.
The atmosphere is pretty good, but the game itself is not that scary, other than the ending which caught me off guard. Well done.
Thanks! I wanted to create something odd but not necessarily scary. Though the ending has accomplished that in most cases.
Freaky and funny nice job.
Thanks! You picked up on a lot of the little things which was fun to watch. Appreciate it.
Thanks for the video!
Really cool game, Love the eerie atmosphere it gives. It's really well made.
Thank you!
This is a cool game to play for sure ! The posters lol, oh man ! Well made ! Please subscribe! First game play.
Thanks! Glad you like the posters. I had a lot of fun making those.
Hey Geoff thanks again for making this game! You really nailed it with the motivational quotes in this and Erik, he such a terrible intern, I gotta take that out of my chest. I found the topic for this game really unique, having an interview is just as horrible as each of the jumpscares of my video, so well done portraying it here!
Thanks! I definitely wanted this to be different than a typical horror game. Interviewing can be scary in and of itself.

This game was super creepy and didn't just THROW jumpscares at you the whole time. Good work and can't wait to see what comes next!
Thanks so much! It was fun watching you navigate everything. The feedback is greatly appreciated.

It’s fun when you hear someone experienced something as intended. Thanks for playing!
Love me some psychological indie games!!
Thanks for the video and feedback!
This is probably my favorite horror game I've played. I've had such a blast pretend ing to be a corporate shill that I enjoyed it.
Thanks I appreciate that. See you tomorrow morning bright and early. Bring running shoes.
