This game is filled with pointless jump scares that literally have no relevance to the story. The story itself is only mediocre, with very brief notes scattered throughout. The gameplay was a bit tricky to understand at first, because it was not clear that the flashlight is an item in the same way that keys and other items are; that is, your light source is not constantly in your hand, but has to be switched with other items when those other items need to be used. The animation is low-quality, and the voicing seems to be computer generated. Overall, this game is very poorly made and amateurish.

About This Game
From the 1940s to the 1970s, the US government conducted a series of unethical syphilis experiments on unsuspecting Guatemalans. Local prisoners were subjected to extremely dangerous substances, including drugs, viruses, fungi, asbestos, and dioxins. These experiments were conducted for research in skin diseases, biochemistry, and pharmaceuticals. The prisoners suffered severe physical and psychological injuries, and many experienced mutations or even death.

Designer's comment:
As a creator of horror games, I'm always interested in scary historical events and imagining even more horrific supernatural events that may have happened behind the scenes of history. Guatemala is a mysterious place, so when I found out about this real event, I was so interseted and thinking hard to conceptualized a horrifying mystery lurking behind it. The truth, in my imagination, should be bone-chilling enough and a righteous investigative reporter will go in alone and uncover secrets hidden in the rainy night with bravery and wit.It's hard to say what's in it for the poor reporter, while I feel it's very engaging as a horror game. Endless puzzles and mechanisms, unexplained psychic phenomena and scary monsters, all of which will make you wonder if this world really exists! I tried to keep a balance between jump scares and an engaging storyline. I want to ensure that every moment in the game is filled with suspense and meaningful engagement as you uncover the mysteries of Guatemala.
The game may have a follow-up development program to deliver an even more immersive and spine-chilling experience. So if you have any feedback, I'd love to hear and value it!
Thank you for your patience. Stay tuned for "Myst of Guatemala", and get ready for an adventure that will make your heart race and your mind tremble!

They have made the same #1 mistake so many others have made, when there is no excuse to not have a mouse sensitivity slider in a game in 2024. and if you feel the need to not include one and have to set it to where you like it DON'T SET IT TO 1 out of 10. I highly recommend to wait until you see an update that fixes the sensitivity before you make the mistake of purchasing this. oh and don't worry about the 10 minute loading screen, it's normal, so don't give up https://youtu.be/xmKUsMLcXUQ
Okay so we all know with a $3 horror game what we are expecting...at least a ball park. I am actually hugely shocked at how much I enjoyed this game! The graphics are insanely nice considering and what I truly loved is how fair they were about things like puzzles. Every minute I spent in game was a minute enjoying the game and not wandering around questioning how anyone would put two and two together. I really appreciate that there were cues to tell you where to look next and I didn't find myself becoming frustrated at it like I do most other "cheap" horror games. This is such a cute little hidden gem of a game that I would recommend to any casual "walking sim" horror game enjoyer. It's not Madison...or Visage... but that's not what you're looking for when buying these smaller Indie games. I really recommend buying this one! It's definitely worth the few bucks :)
Love the atmosphere graphics and the story. the most impressive gameplay is, the little ghost is really cute - -. the jumpscares terrified me...
hey shawty i know im your first buyer (no offense) so i just got the book after gushing blood, what the fuck do i do next? sincerely, your first buyer
