Great game, right from the get-go. From the way the controls are laid out over the pavement at the start, to trying to escape at the end, and the texturing of everything else, a superb job.
My only beef is the one I have with most horror games; it is all too predictable. Because of that, I'm fully prepared for whatever is thrown at me [by you and many others], thus everything that's supposed to startle me [most people use the word 'scared' here, but that's a misnomer, imho], simply doesn't work, because I expect it to happen.
Maybe, if possible, you could watch some Japanese horror movies, like 'The Ring' where the scare factor is way more subtle and hopefully inspires you to greater heights [horror-wise].
I say this, because I am very impressed by the looks and feel of this game, as it looks all very high-end. Great job, Max Horror.
Despite the above, I highly recommend playing the game and show Max some [$$$] love.
Thanks bro, I agree with you and I am aware of the issue, BUT if the game is more subtle people complain nothing happens, so its a damn fine balance to find between the jumpscares and the atmosphere only parts. But it is easy to fall into the "usual suspect" and becoming predictable, especially towards real horror fans with a lot of experience hehe.
But I am watching all the videos and reading all the feedback, and I will try and improve for when i start a more serious project. But I can't promise that some parts won't always be a bit predictable.
Every day, the sun rises in the morning and eventually sets in the evening. It has done so for billions of years [without our interference], so, I'm fine with that.
That's real life. But I also realize, that when the sun rises or sets for me, on the other side of the planet, for someone else, the exact opposite is happening. So, although completely different experiences, both individuals are right [in what they witness].
Never mind the people that go negative on you. There isn't a single youtube clip out there, without negative votes. Those are the snowflakes without self-esteem, that get a hard-on doing so anonymously. Simply ignore them. You are doing [and have done], a great job. You entertained me for over 10 minutes, for free.
I immensely appreciate your [and others] effort to do so.
As such, I'm in your corner and defend you and your work.
It is impossible to satisfy everybody at the same time, so the most important thing in life is to satisfy yourself and be happy [with it].
I am looking forward to your next installment. In fact, I found 1 more of your games I didn't play [The Book] and am going to download and play that as well today. Then I've played all your 3 games.
Again, thanks for all the time and effort you put into producing your games.
Not just a bit, but very cliché ;) Thanks buddy, and thanks for the video. I will try and make a real one next, But I can't promise it won't be a bit cliché always, cause you know.. its horror right? :)
Hello, I played this game and I liked it, it was short and sweet, although 'What Happened At The Farm?' is definitely your best project so far imo, looking forward to your future projects, good work Max :)
This was a great experience. The voice acting was a nice touch, and even simple details like putting the control on the walkway instead of on a menu on the Start screen made this game feel unique. I liked the feeling of having to explore, and yet never feeling hopelessly lost. Games can quickly become frustrating when the horror becomes lost amidst the search for the next key or the next room to go, and this game was simple and sweet in that each room offered visual cues as to where you should look. Cool exterior design of the facility! My only note is that if there is a way to die in this game, I didn't find it! I mean, at first sign of the monster I'd turn tail and run so maybe I just made all the right moves, but if death is impossible in this game, I would definitely say add it as a way of increasing the tension in an already very-tense game that had me exploring my upper octaves :) thanks so much! You have great talent and I encourage you to keep making games!
This was a fun and tense short horror. Entering a bathroom in your games makes me very nervous - LOL. I also got a kick out of the intro and the dancing doctor. I've really enjoyed the demos you have put out so far - can't wait to see more of these or a full version game in the future. Great work Max Horror!
MY MAN MAX!!! I finally got to play one of your games and it was awesome! It's so cool to see a fellow YouTuber make not only videos but also GAMES!?!? This game deserves all the support it's getting, keep up the great work my dude!
Though short, it was a great and memorable experience. The tension alone is at a high 10 and had me sweating the whole entire time. Well done Max Horror! You are a true advocate of horror.
Idk why but I was having a hard time running the game smoothly. The jittering you see in the video was what was actually happening while playing. That was by far the worst part for me. If I had to give any criticism on the actual game itself I think it would be that the pacing is very fast, at least it was for me. There wasn't a lot of time for good spooky buildup you know? That being said, it still got me good at one point lol.
Cool short horror experience! It got me really good at one point lol. I know it's a free game so I really can't complain but if you want my thoughts on the game to possibly help with future games I'd be happy to share! The biggest issue for me was the performance for whatever reason. The jittering that you see in my video is what was actually happening during gameplay. Really took me out of it but probably more of an issue with me than anything. The only thing I wasn't a fan of with the game was the pacing. Everything was going by so quickly that I didn't really have time to get that spooky buildup going. I do like the bit of puzzles that were there and the small scripted events were fun. I'm still very appreciative of the work that went into this though and I did have fun overall!
Thanks bro, Im sorry for the optimization issues, I really felt I did everything I could on that part this time. Everything was green when looking through it and I was running 120+ fps my self. But I do see some still having issues with performance.
If you got the time, Can you tell me your Pc specs?
The Pacing I agree and is aware of. Here at first, I make these games to learn really. Not so much to make a blockbuster game hehe
Sure thing! If I missed something let me know. I think these are all the specs
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6
16GB ram
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB
Thank you for taking the criticism well also. I was hoping nothing came off offensive because I definitely did not want to offend at all. I appreciate all indie developers. Especially putting out a game for free??? Can't really complain lol. I just like to give my opinion of the experience in case it helps you out at all.
Constructive feedback is always welcome, that only helps. Even if I don't know yet how to fix the issues its nice to know there is something to be aware of :) Im still learning so I will try and figure it out. Keep up the good work buddy.
Great game. Loved the intro. I felt like dancing along. Would love to see more. I think this game could be much longer and be very successful. What you have here is very creepy.
If it was me I would have just noped... and got back in my car and went home. Creepy mental hospital in the middle of the night, of course nothing bad could happen. Amazingly creepy game that spooked me quite a few times. Keep up the good work!
Awesome short game, i hope you continue to make games! i suggest giving it a shot if you're debating it. If you can check out my playthrough and maybe subscribe it'd mean so much to me, Have a good day :)
Very nice game! All the other praise on this page is well-deserved; the sound design was excellent, and the setting tense. Deserves more credit than the simple little description on the page! Thanks for sharing it with us, bro.
I absolutely loved playing this. The music and background noises were so near perfect that it made me constantly think something was there when it wasn't both in terms of timing and intensity, The only other game I have ever played that had comparable quality sound effects was Amnesia The Dark Descent.
That was pretty cool, man. The atmosphere was so creepy that I was expecting the worst to happen at any moment haha. Nice job, dude! Keep up the good work!
Check out my playthrough of this great game! I really think you should add more after the vent, maybe the vent could take you to a creepy basement area!
Interesting concept and I cant wait to see what else you make in the future, this showed great potential and i had decent fun with it, Thank you for the experience!

I, for one, sincerely appreciate it.
Great job! A bit cliché, but your gamemaking skills are really coming along. I truly believe you'll make a fantastic horror one day.
Not just a bit, but very cliché ;) Thanks buddy, and thanks for the video. I will try and make a real one next, But I can't promise it won't be a bit cliché always, cause you know.. its horror right? :)
Hello, I played this game and I liked it, it was short and sweet, although 'What Happened At The Farm?' is definitely your best project so far imo, looking forward to your future projects, good work Max :)
Thanks so much! These are my practice projects hehe. I will see if I can improve for next one. Thanks for playing and for the video.
Success! :) Thanks for playing

Awesome and Thanks to you and the stream :)
This game was very terrifying! Great game and awesome voiceacting!
Thanks bro, glad you enjoyed!
Thanks!
Thanks mate, You can die on the part where the creature climbs out of the vent. Other than that its just the few scares :) Thanks for playing.
This was a fun and tense short horror. Entering a bathroom in your games makes me very nervous - LOL. I also got a kick out of the intro and the dancing doctor.

Thanks! and thanks for the video!
Thanks bro! Much appreciated
It really plays into some tropes, but it was pretty fun and had some good scares to it. The hallway scene got me pretty good.
It's the second game I played in the video.Thanks for playing :)

Thanks for playing bro! :)
heeeeeee
where did you get the wraped hanging bodies from. been looking for something just like that for a game idea i have.
On the unreal engine market place. Called Horror Props
thank you
Though short, it was a great and memorable experience. The tension alone is at a high 10 and had me sweating the whole entire time. Well done Max Horror! You are a true advocate of horror.
Thanks my friend! :) Glad you enjoyed the short experience. Thanks for the video.
Nice game
Thanks bro!
Max Horror comment on my video, I am going to pin you. I love this game a lot! It is pretty terrifying! Thanks for making it!
Loved the game kept me on my toes the whole time! Did good on this one!
Thanks man :) Glad you enjoyed.
LEGIT THE SCARIEST GAME I'VE PLAYED ON THIS WEBSITE reminds me of a AAA horror game! here's my reaction to it its around 5 minutes.
Thanks bro, That is awesome! Thanks for playing and the video!

This was one of the better horror games I have played here. 5/5 stars.
Thanks man!
Hi I am trying to download but it downloads as an internet explorer file and it doesnt do anything. :-(
Sorry I would not know why that is, No one else seem to have reported that issue.
That was pretty cool, man. The atmosphere was so creepy that I was expecting the worst to happen at any moment haha. Nice job, dude! Keep up the good work!
Thank you my friend! Glad to hear you enjoyed it.

Check out my playthrough of this great game! I really think you should add more after the vent, maybe the vent could take you to a creepy basement area!
But great work, was an honour to play!
Regards,
Brandon
Thanks Brandon!
