The Game is actually fun and the aesthetic is great, but does have some logical problems, when considering the circumstances. If the player tries to leave earlier or explore around it doesn't work, you have to wait for certain events, so why give items early or the ability to leave a hide place (in the Shed), when you die immediately. A bit on the nose with the guy that tells you where your friend is.
Also you just leave your friend, with a stabbed guy in the hallway to rot and the other cultmember back? There seems to be no closure for them.
Very rudimentary AI, that seems to check for a bool and immediately catches you in that trigger, i tried to leave the house during that sequence, but it wasn't clear that, that isn't possible. So there's very little in terms of choices.
I hate the VHS filter and Glitch so much, every time a new scene loads you have to reset the Settings for it. Also it adds absolutely nothing to the Story, you are not looking through a Camera or a Tape it doesn't even make sense, only the death scene has a camera UI, but why?
But still a great little game, just thoughts for the next one.
I loved the visuals and story of this game icl even if. Thanks to you the developer for releasing this! I also made a video on this if you could check it out! Thank youuu!
Great game, awesome idea! I love the concept and how realistic it is, not the usual supernatural creature or apocalyptic event, it reminded me of all those cases of crazy cults around the world and that makes it scarier.
Thank you for your feedback <3 I am happy that you enjoyed the game. It means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the realism as this was a huge thing for me as the game's narrative designer.
Overall I really enjoyed this game, the environments and overall level design was great, I am very fond of the super saturated colors, and I enjoyed the layout. I'm a big fan of the movie Midsommar, so I kinda knew what to expect coming in; I think if someone wasn't familiar, it would be a stronger experience. The notes and exploring the environment for random bits of lore might me my fav parts. I wish the ending had a little more to it.
I'm trying to expand my portfolio in text translation, I'd like to offer translating your game from English to Turkish language so it can reach a wider audience, looks like a really interesting story. Reminded me of Midsommar, I guess because of the setting.

Nice work! Fun, just the right length, a nice build up of tension. Maybe a little more guidance on when you get caught during the first sneaky section would help, but I really had a lot of fun overall. Keep up the great work!
An amazing game, 5 stars, good story, congratulations to the creators of this great game, I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel please, thank you, happy holidays, greetings from Spain!!
Muchas gracias por compartir esta maravilla de juego, me ha gustado de principio a fin, el juego tiene de todo: suspense, terror, acción y un toque de humor, se agradece que hayáis hecho un juego así, por eso os doy 5 estrellas, saludos!!!
Muchas gracias por tus palabras y por jugar. Nos alegra un montón que te haya gustado tanto y que disfrutaras de esa mezcla de suspense, terror, acción y humor. ¡Y gracias también por el video en YouTube, es genial ver cómo lo jugaste! Tus 5 estrellas nos motivan muchísimo.
Hi, this was really excellent game I like it and so is this game related to this movie, Midsommar and if you had heard this movie before and I also kind like that movie anyway well done keep it up!
Hello. Judging from the screen shots the game looks phenomenal. But, the issue is that there is no zip file and the setup is suspiciously small. Furthermore, it asks for the installation on PC and I really can't allow that. I do hope your team or maybe you individually find a different approach. Best of luck. FYI, the YouTube teaser doesn't have any sound, whatsoever.
Hi there! The installer is small since it's an extremely compressed version (and the game is not big either) - but it's not a virus (I verified it every way possible). For convenience, there is also a zipped version available now - you can check that out as well.
seems fine after restarting, I think the issue is that you can soft lock the game after pressing 'SPACE' after accepting the letter invitation. pretty bad bug
no worries! I like the vibe of it, it gave me a few startles, didn't manage to finish it unfortunately since it resetted midway from 0 but I will be playing it after bugfixes again

Really awesome game! Big fan of the storytelling and the art style in this one in particular.

This is an amazing game, it jumped scared me closer to the end and the story was engaging. Please make more games!

Played this game on the channel. Had a time . I liked the slow burn approach and the overall atmosphere of the game was cool. More of my thoughts here
great job fellas :)
For what this was it was quite good! Awesome story and spooky premise. Made a video on it.
Honestly, this game is a total blast! It’s got that eerie Midsommar horror movie vibe that’s so unsettling in the best way. Seriously impressive!
as someone who has been a cult before i support this game

I just started playing and I am stuck after accepting the letter with E.
I keep pressing 'E' now and says 'A new letter? I wonder who sent it..."
then I hear a bus engine starting.
seems fine after restarting, I think the issue is that you can soft lock the game after pressing 'SPACE' after accepting the letter invitation. pretty bad bug
Thank you for checking the game out!
A fix to the bug will be included in an upcoming update to the game ❤️
no worries! I like the vibe of it, it gave me a few startles, didn't manage to finish it unfortunately since it resetted midway from 0 but I will be playing it after bugfixes again
love the cult vibes
