hey WHY CANT I GO INTO FULLSCREEN?
Sorry, but it's windowed game.
Cool Little Game, a bit confusing though, Didn't end up finishing it, I had fun Nonetheless, keep it up! Check The Video Out on My Youtube!
Thank you very-very much =)
So right off the bat - the mood, the music, the sprites, performance - all is top notch. It's a very neat idea, and running around meeitng these incredibly messed up zombies is great.
My main problem is just how difficult it is to actually find your way. The map is particularly labyrinthine, and there is little way to know where you should be headed. Add to that that the zombies can sometimes only be dodged by luring them into another room due to the hallways being too narrow - and even then, I found them just dancing back and forth at the entrance at times.
The result was a LOT of deaths, which wouldn't be so bad if they felt slightly more justified. Maybe I am just blin dand bad at directions, that's possible, but it did get just as frustrating as it was otherwise fun.
But I can't put a finger on it stylistically speaking - beautiful stuff!
Thanks a lot for your video and review. I'm very glad you like it =)
Thank you =)
Unique and challenging game!
The sprites, textures and the overall presentation is fantastic, lots of work must have went into this. Gameplay is quite interesting too.
Only the camera effect could be a little less intense for me, but that's just my taste. 5 stars!
Yeah, the camera effect is very intense.
Thank you =)
I really like the look of this game and the sound is pretty good too although a bit sparse. But this felt like one of the later levels in a puzzle game where you have to do everything exactly right, sometimes even pixel perfect, or you fail.
Also booba!
Thanks a lot for your feedback! =)
how to fullscreen
It's impossible, sorry =)
From the retro, 2.5D graphics, to the atmosphere, to the sound design, and the... creepy dark humor, this was a great experience. Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you! That's was awesome =) So funny video!
Oh, man, the game is great. I'm downloading it now
Thanks =)
This was a very fun and creepy game. I love the graphics. Great work!
Super thanks for your cool video! =)
Thanks a lot for walkthrough =)
Well I died, a lot. Those Ghouls can quickly overwhelm you and I kept ending up entrapping myself. Probably my fault, I think I led the ghouls back into each other and got trapped, in my defence I am easily lost. Amazing work on the Ghouls design makes them really stand out from each other, it feels like you are actually being hunted by a family of them.
Although another tragic end for another vlogger, he will never get his time in the light for what he discovered.
Great job on the game, I really enjoyed it!
Super thanks for your cool video! Very glad you can beat the game =)
And awesome idea with a family of ghouls =)
Creepy and funny game
Thank you! Your walkthrough is very cool =)
Thank you glad you liked it :)
Creepy! Gameplay was hard but in a unique way, like you need to think how to dodge them since you can't kill them. This is great, overall! Nice work!
Thanks a lot for your pro walkthrough and nice feedback=)
I'm very-very glad you like it =)
BRUH NO WAY THIS BETTER BLOW UPPPP
=)
Amazing! I'm glad you beat the game =)
Loved it! brought back memories of Doom and Duke Nukem, but without the gunplay.
Great video! I love it =)
Thanks a lot! Video was so fun =)
Fascinating and oddly fun!
Weirdly enough, I have done my own VHS game and glad to see the different approach to the genre, every time. Of course, the style and execution is far superior to any other VHS type games I've seen, yet it is simple, gory, spooky and entertaining. I was not quite sure what to do, except I was just trying to avoid monsters and look for the exit.
Great game developer (s) - can't wait for the next entry. Cheers! 💌
Thank you very much for your video! =) Yeah, game is tough, because you can just run, hide, lure the zombies into rooms and run again =) You just need to find a key and after that try it with some doors...
i am from pennsylvania, and i was born in 1984.
i have evidence from old local newspapers that this particular hostel was in my home town of Oil City, Pennsylvania.
further research will be required.
;)
Oh my! What a coincidence =)
i actually live about an hour away from where they taped night of the living dead in 1968.
I'm a huge fan Romero movies. It's my old dream someday to visit places where Romero made his zombie movies =)
