I might have left

This is my first ever horror game! I haven't really delved into something atmospheric so this was really fun to work on. Also my first time rigging and animating in Blender!

It was a great short horror game. Makes me wish there were more games involving "Skinwalkers", or the like. Simple, but the unnerving doubt on whether or not you got the right Dog.... it's unsettling!!! Plus, makes me question how much I love my dog..... if I can't tell the difference!!!

This was such an interesting spooky game! Real curious as to how Pepper kept getting out but the adds to the overall mystery ~ Great job Dev!

Great game! Was quite stressfull! 

Interesting, creepy little game, it's enjoyable and well made. Loved it!

This was a cool and interesting game! Loved how each night threw something new to you to figure out! Hopefully I chose the correct dog! Good game! 

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

JESUS CHRIST THAT SCARED ME

😈

is it a horror game?

ye

Who's the best girl? Pepper's the best girl! And her monster clone is also the best girl! Nothing to really add to this game, it looks and sounds good, works as intended, doesn't drag on for too long nor is it too short, appropriately spooky and a vague, head-scratching ending. Keep up the good work! Cheers!

Thanks!

For 1 week, this game is nice, I would rate it 9/10 👍

Thanks! 😁

Cool game, but i think the whistle is bugged, pepper doesn't respond

He responded to me neatly, maybe the one you whistled at was the ghost not pepper

could be, it was the yellow dog so idk

Really good game, the transformation was the most skin-crawling thing I prob saw that Monday, but life is life tho. 

THIS DOG CLEARLY DONT LIKE ME BRO.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Was on night 4 thinking there wasnt really any horror aspect other then the idea that something was out there till I thought I found Pepper and Boom it changed into the monster and I genuinely got scared lol. Great game! Solid 9/10

Thanks! Felt evil watching people lower their guard by night 3 haha

Bro there is no right choice, Pepper is dead 😭 found her on my 3rd rerun of the epilogue. Seriously though, this game is amazing, I loved it!

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Руслан- гавно

I loved this game! Not knowing which "pepper" was the real one was really making me think! I believe I found the correct Pepper at the end of the game!

Thank you!

lovely game <3

Very good game, amazing atmosphere, I love the story and how each night that passes the other thing adapts to Pepper's behaviour. At the end I doubt my choice, when I chose the wrong pepper in the 4th night, this monster appeared and killed me when I got close, but what guarantee that I picked the real Pepper? What if the other thing saw how close I got to Pepper and adapted to mimick his behaviour when picked up? Really great game +10

Thank you so much!

Hey! I really like the concept of your game, and that jumpscare honestly got me, not gonna lie. I’m not sure if hiding the stamina bar was meant to make things feel more immersive, but I’d personally like to see some kind of indicator. Even an audio cue like heavier breathing when stamina is low would work really well and keep the immersion intact.

(+1)

Thanks! I made this for a game jam and ran out of time to add a stamina indicator, will def add something in an update

(+1)

One of the best endings i've ever seen.

Thanks!!
