I don't usually write reviews, but this game is an exception. I really enjoyed it! The atmosphere and music were fantastic! And so was the story. I really enjoy story driven games, and the scares were excellent. A few of then even scared the shit out of me, although I do scare pretty easily :D And it's especially impressive that you've made this all on your own! Hats off to you! Would love to see a continuation to this! It was a fun, but spooky experience!
Friend watched me shit my pants and laugh at me. It was very exciting. 10/10
MOST SCARY GAME I EVER PLAYED RESPECT FOR DEVELOPER
It's a short but really exciting horror game- If you're a fan of eastern European/ Balkan horror games you'll really like this one. It had some of the best jump scares that I've ever found in this genre. The atmosphere and soundtrack are what makes this game super unsettling. Definitely worth playing
if you want total jump scare, Summer of '58 got it for ya fellas! XD
Nothing fantastic, but good for a cheap, short play!
