Enjoy this toasty no-commentary playthrough. If you like it, be sure to leave a rating and support the creator. 

Thanks for the bite-sized fun. I have a lot more respect for my toaster now and will make sure it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Looking forward to what you create next!

An absolute fever dream of a game. It takes the vibe of Psalm 2, cranks the intensity to the absolute limit, and throws you down a rabbit hole of pure madness. The pacing is fantastic—each floor gets progressively crazier, building up to that final feast. It’s deeply unsettling and left me completely losing my appetite. I loved it! My only technical note is that the default launch settings initially made the game visually unplayable for me. It took some time to tweak the settings to finally see what I was doing, but it was well worth the trouble. Can't wait to see what this creator cooks up next!

Yes, full game please! The game looks amazing and runs great. The atmosphere and sound design are incredible, and I absolutely loved the slow build to that jumpscare at the end. It was a great tease that left me wanting more! This is going to be an awesome game, and I can't wait for the full version.

Came back to play this game after playing Grandfather's Estate, and I am glad I did! There are no cheap jumpscares, but the horror and atmosphere were definitely there. Once again, great use of the PSX style, and the locations you created were original and well-designed. The pacing was good—the puzzles weren't overly difficult, but there was enough to make me turn around a few times, which really added to the liminal disorientation. While there was quite a bit of reading (which could maybe be dialed back just a bit), I loved going back to get the second ending. The hints on how to get it were perfect. Looking forward to seeing what you make next!

Thanks for the reply and info…Boss battle!!!

Grandfather’s Estate is easily the most fleshed-out demo I have ever played, keeping me hooked for over an hour and leaving me incredibly excited for the full release. The PS1-style aesthetic is fantastic, and the mansion layout is masterfully designed with deeply clever, interconnected puzzles and an impressive level of detail even down to the map. I was very grateful for all the save points because the creatures can be absolutely brutal. My only personal critique lies in the pacing of the resource management. While I enjoyed the survival aspect, the ammo placement felt a bit back-loaded. I spent most of the demo relying on my trusty pipe, only to discover a stockpile of ammo in the basement right at the very end of the courtyard. I expected a massive boss fight, but it turned out to be the end of the demo. Having a tiny bit of that ammo earlier would have picked up the game's pace and made unlocking the shotgun feel much more satisfying. Aside from that minor balancing preference, this is a truly terrific demo that every classic survival horror fan needs to play.

Bleach & Blood has a great setup for what promises to be an excellent horror game. I really enjoyed the retro PSX style and the overall creepy atmosphere. While there were a few pacing lulls during the laundromat shift that could have been filled with a few more story teasers, it is all in all a fantastic demo. The ending really hooks you, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing how the full game turns out.

I loved the game and I am incredibly impressed that you developed this entirely on your own. The amount of detail, care, and hard work you put into this project really shows. 

I always enjoy the PSX style, and you put it to excellent use here to create a great atmosphere. Every scene had a clear purpose. There was no unnecessary filler, and your pacing was absolutely spot on. It moved the story forward beautifully, slowly building up tension right until the final escape scene and the big reveal at the end.

I will say, the escape scene proved to be a bit more challenging for me than I expected! The initial cutscene only seemed to trigger the first time I saw the light on the lake, guiding me to the monster. After a respawn, that cutscene didn't play again. Instead of appearing in the same location, the monster seemed to randomly teleport, giving me only a second to spot him before getting caught. After watching other gameplays, it looked like he didn't teleport like that for everyone else, so I'm not sure if it was a bug or just unique to my run.

While I personally enjoyed the extra challenge, I think casual players might struggle with it. Ensuring it spawns in the same spot after a respawn, or making sure that same introductory cutscene activates every time, might make it a bit more accessible for others. From what I noticed in other playthroughs, players could just walk backward the whole time, and based on the rules, he shouldn't move unless you look away three times, but for me, he kept shifting around, which you see in my playthrough. Just wanted to point that part out in case it's a minor bug.

Aside from that specific challenge, I thoroughly enjoyed the game and loved the final reveal. I really hope you continue making games because you have a lot of talent, and I am definitely looking forward to playing your next project!

The Arcade (Demo) nails the retro aesthetic. The PSX-style visuals fit the 2000s setting perfectly, and playable arcade machines paired with daily management tasks like mopping and serving customers build a surprisingly cozy vibe. The dual-timeline narrative—shifting between managing the arcade in the present and uncovering a dark past from 20 years earlier—sets up a really promising revenge-slasher premise.

My main critique comes down to pacing. At roughly an hour long, the demo feels a bit slow to get to the main hook. Because there is a lot of text to read and no voice acting, the heavy amount of routine tasks and side interactions can feel like filler before the horror elements actually kick in. Streamlining the intro to get to the central tension sooner would keep the narrative momentum much tighter.

Overall, it’s a cool concept with great atmosphere and fun interactive details. With some tighter pacing in the full release, this could be a standout retro thriller. Looking forward to seeing where the full story goes!

I really loved the art style combined with the Lovecraftian cosmic horror themes. The gameplay was straightforward and simple, which gave the story and overarching mystery plenty of room to drive the experience. The ending cliffhanger kept me fully engaged, and I’m definitely looking forward to Chapter 2 and seeing where you take the narrative!

My only tiny critique is that there were a few long pauses between the text and gameplay transitions, which slowed down the pacing just a bit. Overall, awesome work!

Enjoy this tasty no commentary playthrough…

Loved this little demo appetizer—definitely left me hungry for the main course.

Enjoy this no-commentary playthrough of this fun and crazy game.

What a ride. I loved how the game started off simple and quiet, then very quickly went completely off the rails in the best possible way. A huge part of the fun was having absolutely no idea where things were going next. The dark humor landed well and blended perfectly with the game's mix of absurdity, horror, and fun. It kept surprising me right up to the end. Looking forward to seeing what you make next!

Enjoy this no-commentary playthrough featuring all four endings, edited to remove repetitive gameplay! Use the timestamps below to navigate, and please support the creator by rating the game!

I had a lot of fun playing this and really enjoyed trying to get all four of the endings. I would have loved a little more lore dropped in about the cat or the reasoning behind the things that happened, but all in all, it is a great game.

I hope this encourages you to keep creating more. Looking forward to playing your next one!

I really enjoyed the PSX-style visuals and the music. Combined with the dark humor and the constant feeling of not knowing where things were going, it kept me engaged throughout the experience.

That said, I felt there were several sections that didn't do much to move either the story or the gameplay forward. Instead, they sometimes slowed the pacing enough that I started to lose track of what was actually going on. The comedic moments were great, but I think a few of those slower sections could have been trimmed down to make the overall experience even stronger.

Despite that criticism, I still had a great time with the game. The ending was both unexpected and very literal, which I appreciated. I'm glad I played it and I'm looking forward to seeing what you create next.

A truly profound and powerful experience. Experiencing these social issues firsthand through the eyes of someone living in that environment delivers an impact that news reports or social media feeds simply cannot match.

The PSX style, detailed environments, and color palette looked fantastic. I loved the mechanics and subtle comic relief of trying to stumble through running the bar on the first day alongside the protagonist. My only small issue was the trek back to the house; it was so dark that it took me a while to figure out which way to go.

Aside from that minor hurdle, this is not your typical horror game. The feeling of pure helplessness at the end really hit home. Knowing this is only Chapter 1, I am incredibly excited to see how everything that was set up here plays out!

The pacing in this demo is excellent. Walking around the house not knowing what might happen next kept me completely on edge the entire time. Out of all the moments, I think the ball rolling out of the room scared me the most—it was a great, simple jump scare that worked perfectly.

The game looks amazing and ran really smoothly without any performance issues. There is a lot of potential here, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how the full game turns out!

Sometimes the best games are the simplest in appearance. Climb has a fantastic hook, and although the premise is straightforward, it is absolutely terrifying. The core mechanic is brilliant—it actually took me a few tries to fully figure it out! This was the perfect bite-sized horror experience that will linger with me for a while. I am really looking forward to whatever you create next!

I really enjoyed the art style and the horror-comedy vibe all the way through. The computer crash scene actually got me for a second! I'm definitely looking forward to the next one.

Greta game! Looking forward to the next installment.

It’s the best games that know how to take a simple premise and make them terrifying, and this game did just that. I really enjoyed the simplicity that made you focus on that feeling we all get having to turn the lights off and feel like something is right behind you. Having different endings and outcomes for different situations captured this fear from every angle. Really enjoyed this and look forward to what you do next!

I absolutely love the Backrooms parody direction of this game. It looks and runs incredibly well, but what really shines is the comedy route you took—the rooms are so creative and incredibly well thought out. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Failrooms! I had so much fun that I didn't want it to end, and it leaves you wanting even more. It wraps up with such an epic battle that I really hope the creator picks right back up there with a sequel very soon! Highly recommended!

 Wow, this is incredibly impressive for a solo effort. I can truly see the immense time, care, and attention to detail you put into this project.

I read your note about not making horror games for a while because figuring out the direction and presentation is too much work. I completely understand how draining that creative process can be, but I just want to encourage you to keep creating—even if your next project isn't horror!

With that said, you have a real talent for the genre. The atmosphere, pacing, audio design, and jumpscares were all fantastic. I loved the subtle hints that something just wasn't right with the main character, slowly building up to that final reveal. Your use of imagery with the pig and using the cleaning mechanics to progressively reveal more of the story was brilliant and really well done.

Please don't stop creating! Take a well-deserved break, recharge, and come back when you're ready. I only wish my channel had a larger reach to send a massive wave of players your way, but I will absolutely do what I can to share and support your work. Thank you for this experience!

Really enjoyed this retro PSX-style game! It starts off simple enough, then quickly goes off the rails in the best way possible. The final chase sequence was super fun, though finding that last tunnel proved to be a bit more difficult than expected. I know other players ran into this too and a patch is in the works, but it didn't seem to be live yet when I recorded my footage. Still, I absolutely loved the twist at the end and seeing who the real hero was! Looking forward to what you make next.

Absolutely loved it! A perfect short and sweet horror treat. It's the ultimate "turn off your brain and enjoy the ride" experience with a wonderfully gonzo plot that keeps you guessing where it's going next. I would gladly line up for another flavor of this in the future! Definitely following to see what you create next.

A fantastic Fears to Fathom style horror game! The mechanics feel familiar but fit this new narrative well. The build-up is great, and the final chase sequence is challenging and fun. My only note is that the ending twist needs a bit more setup earlier in the game so players can connect more with the characters' motivations. Still, I had a blast and look forward to the next project from this developer!

Yes, full game please! That was absolutely amazing. I love the dark, liminal space vibe you achieved here. The game looks incredible, and the combination of great sound design and eerie environments perfectly builds a sense of mystery. The tension and curiosity only grew the deeper I went into the rooms. I can't wait to play the full game and anything else you all come up with in the future! Great job to the team!

Animal Crossing meets horror… and I absolutely loved it! 🌲🪓

The setup and atmosphere in this demo are fantastic. The hand-drawn art style is amazing, and the voice acting is completely spot on. I genuinely fell in love with the characters so much that I almost forgot I was playing a horror game until the ending hit!

While there wasn’t a whole lot of exploration inside the mansion just yet, that’s likely just a limitation of the demo version. I cannot wait to see how the rest of the story unfolds and who gets the axe next!

Spooky Tales has completely hooked me! I absolutely love the cinematic style and the overall "Tales from the Crypt" vibe that the undead host brings to the experience.

Playing through this demo was so much fun. The voice acting is absolutely perfect, and the ocean fishing mechanic is surprisingly engaging and fun to play. It perfectly builds up to a nice, creepy cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.

I had a blast with this teaser and genuinely can't wait for the full game to drop!

Appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave such supportive feedback! I really enjoyed crafting a clean, cinematic showcase for your game. Can't wait to see what you build next!

Really enjoyed this game! It had a great VHS aesthetic, a solid eerie build-up, and a genuinely good mystery regarding what was actually happening upstairs. It checked all the boxes for everything I enjoy in a Fears to Fathom type game. I am definitely looking forward to the next installment. Thanks for making fun games!

good luck! Hope it gets fixed soon so more people can play your game. Keep making games!

So my understanding is that happens because itch.io's auto-spam filter flagged the page, so it needs to be manually indexed by their team. First, double-check your game dashboard to make sure Visibility is set to Public and Classification is set to Games (instead of Tools or Assets). If those settings are already correct, you just need to head over to itch.io/support and submit a ticket asking to get your game indexed, making sure to include your game link. It can take a few days for them to review it, and sending multiple tickets actually resets your place in line.

If those two things don't sort it out, let me know!

I absolutely loved playing this game! The atmosphere is incredibly unsettling, and the design of the different liminal spaces looks amazing. The way the slow mystery unraveled kept me hooked from the very beginning, and the fun chase mechanic at the end was a great way to peak the tension. Having multiple endings is a fantastic touch—it gave me a great reason to jump right back in and play through it again to see everything. On top of that, the game ran perfectly with smooth performance throughout.

This is the second game of yours I have played, and I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. You are a talented developer, and I am really looking forward to seeing what you make next!

(Side note for the dev: I found this game by visiting your profile page directly, but noticed it does not seem to appear on the main itch.io browse page layout. You might want to check your indexing settings so more people can discover this gem!)

Check out this No Commentary playthrough, edited into a unique HD Cinematic Cut that transforms this classic indie horror game into a clean, movie-like viewing experience.

Love this game! There's a reason it stays on the top of the horror list and the great games you made after. I hope I did it justice with my cinematic edit.

Prepare to have a fond childhood memory completely shattered—enjoy this no-commentary playthrough!

Loved the simplicity and execution of this game. It feels like taking a child's active imagination on a playground and pushing it into a dark, adult nightmare to escape from. The contrast between how simple it starts and how weird and unsettling it gets is fantastic. A really cool experience—can't wait to see your future projects!

Thank you! Super excited for the full game and future projects. Keep making great games!
