It's been about two weeks and you've been suspiciously silent about what happened to the full version. Even on Twitter you've said nothing despite still pinning the Steam page for the full version of the game that was removed. It happened to be removed very close to when you planned to release it too. Could you please at least make a public statement? Why are you so quiet about it?
Deadly Getaway: Unravel the Mystery in This Horror Game 🏡💔😱 S01 | 3rd Game
Amazing compact experience!
🎉 Full Gameplay Now Available! 🎮
I've failed to find the house in the woods. Matter of fact, I've failed to find anything and just kept stumbling from tree to tree until I got headache from headbob and quit.
10/10 trees
Very creepy, great sound design. Had a fun time playing.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Your game was SUPER well made and it was easy to follow!! Your game is 7th game in my video!
YOOO I played this as part of my 3 scary game video(28:13) and I loved the atmosphere this brought! I also loved that this was inspired by the black witch project. Super spooky! I just wish it were a tad bit longer! come check out my gameplay I promise to make you laugh!
The Steam page is gone! What Happened!?
Such a great game! I showcased it and gave it a review in my Halloween special!
this game is a good game and was fun to play I enjoyed it a lot :)
O ambiente do jogo está muito assustador e o som tá top!
Nice game bro short but sweet and picked up on the Blair Witch inspiration instantly keep up the good work bro!
Dearest Inventor,
SUCKS!!!!
Yours truly,
Thugginator
This game was AMAZING! I really wish it was longer, it was so good!
The Good: Atmosphere and Sound Design
The ambient sound and sound effects were great, effectively immersing me in the eerie woods.
The Not-So-Good: Repetitive Gameplay
Unfortunately, most of my playtime was spent running through the woods on what felt like an aimless path. The lack of direction or clear objectives led to boredom, and I nearly quit the game several times. It wasn't until I turned off my flashlight (almost by accident) that the house finally appeared.
Inspiration and Homage
The house itself was a highlight, eerily reminiscent of the iconic house from The Blair Witch Project. after actually reading the games description, I see the developers drew inspiration from this horror classic, and it shows.
Room for Improvement: Jumpscares and Pacing
Sadly, the game's scares fell flat for me. I didn't experience any memorable jump scares, which would have elevated the experience.
Verdict
Overall, "The House in the Woods" was an okay game. While it showed promise with its atmosphere and sound design, the repetitive gameplay and lackluster scares held it back. With some tweaks to pacing and scare factor, this game could become a truly terrifying experience.
Had alot of fun playing this, check out the new video
