Great atmosphere - I never found the whispering face and plenty of people seemed to get into the ritual without doing more than I did, so wasn't able to proceed. I think the pixelation is fine, but maybe limit the launcher a little more; just don't let people launch it at the higher resolution, because it makes things very hard to make out. And I'd suggest taking another look at the boundary behind the buildings - unlike the one across the road, it often appears just as a big black blank with some pixelated wire (?) at the top. I love the path through the game though, and the soundscape is top tier.
Beautiful game, I loved the sparkling effects of the pixel graphics, gave it the cosmic vibe. Both eerie and compelling, it was enjoyable to unravel what was happening and still getting few answers. Thanks for creating!
This game is creepy as fuck. The only thing that disappointed me is that there was no ritual cut scene and the ending is sort of bland,I thought that the dagger could be used in some way on the rock but alas, nah.

I liked it, it's fun, although has a noticeable amount of bugs when trying to do certain things
cool game but i feel like it could be a lil bit less pixely if u play in 1920x1080 the ending was creepy lol loved the vibe too
Infinite crowbar glitch real.
Oops! Bleakstead was a pretty early game for me. The way it handles items is really weird. Thanks for giving the game a shot.
All good lol, a friend and I had a good laugh. The game was pretty neat, definitely had me on edge.

Thank you for trying Bleakstead out. I'm working on a follow up that's more expansive.
Good job! Reminded me a lot of Twin Peaks and the uneasy ambiance of David Lynch's movies. I really enjoyed my experience.
Here's my playthrough without any commentary :
Absolutely marvellous. Well done!
