It is midnight. Only the howling of the wind and the distant sounds made by animals break the silence. 

The lake reflects the dark night sky, while standing between you and the campsite. It is so close, yet so far. 

There is not much time left. Can you find your way around the lake in the woods?

I loved this one, it was very difficult tho

Great game with a nice aesthetic, I loved the retro vibe. I really enjoyed this one, its mysterious and challenging and had a great twist. Good work! My playthrough below if anyone is interested. I edited out the  parts where I got lost and turned around and died a few times. I enjoyed the experience alot.

Did anyone else experience a major drop in frames when walking down the path with the VHS overlay on? My PC is more than capable of handling many types of games, but it got to an unbearable point of dropped frames. I had to stop and call it quits. It sucks because I'm reading about a twist, a cutscene at the end, something that I missed out on haha I can see myself having an awesome experience, but I couldn't get past the frames barrier. But either way...

Good work!

I’m so glad I was able to beat actually beat this and not fail horrible plus the little cutscene at end was a perfect twist!! Start @ 26:33

This was such a spooky game! Loved the mechanic of needing the camera to be able to see the ghosts! 

cool mechanic and i really like the twist at the end, if you havent played it DONT SPOIL IT FOR YOURSELF but heres me playing it(5:14)

I got lost multiple times on my way back to the campfire, but it was a fun short experience with some minor frustration lol

Interesting premise. Fairly meh overall. 

-Was the generic looking baddies intentional?

-Why were there so many invisible walls?


I did like the camera vs no camera mechanic, hope you build more on that concept and I look forward to your future projects

I'm enjoying my experience with these pixel art video games they really have that true sense of horror.

This game gave me the Jason Voorhees vibes and I like it. Also like the switch in visual style from camera to just seeing the game without the camera. Nice job.

Hello, I played this game and it was pretty nice, I liked the style of it and the gameplay was also good, took me a while to understand where to go cause it wasn't too obvious but over all it was a neat game, good work :)
