I thoroughly enjoyed playing Caution Ahead. I can't wait to try out Pt 2. If you want a fun horror puzzle game this is the one for you. It's not too hard and just the right amount of scares. Everything about it from the graphics to the sound to the story all intrigue me. I would highly recommend you play this for yourself.

Everything about this game got me hooked from the get go. Me thinking this was gonna be another ordinary horror game goes beyond than what I expected. The atmosphere sets a really great tone of making me feel very uneasy about my environment which i loved every moment. What I loved even more was the lore that I found in the game which I found really captivating and super interesting that really fits great with the story. All in all 10/10 in my eyes and I can't wait to see more of it. https://youtu.be/tGUng5Nu-pg

I really enjoyed this one. The story was interesting, and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in Part 2. The creepy atmosphere was definitely a highlight. The game felt a bit short, but it was still a good experience overall. Fyi, there is a minor UI bug. If you go to mouse sensitivity settings while in game and hit esc after adjusting it closes the menu and saves the sensitivity settings but does not apply them in game. This is confusing.
I'm starting to dip my toes into more of these small-bite horror games. In terms of gameplay mechanics, I could sound like a broken record and say "there's nothing new here", but I mean that is a lot of games. There is a bit of exploration with minor "find an object to make something work/unlock" tasks to get to the next area/sequence of events. I enjoy it quite a bit and there's a tinge of story that has piqued my interest enough that I want to see all of this fold out and see how the gameplay progresses and potentially alters along the way in future episodes.
Pretty great overall. 3rd chapter (for me), was rage infesting due to dying about 30 times. My ADD is not meant for stealthy hide and seek gameplay.
Very atmospheric and creepy experience. Looking forward to see what comes next.
