👌
Great vid!
Not a bad little game, i do wish the environment had a few more scares as well as more spookyness. Looping was really well done and the chase scene was cool !
I made a video on your game if you would like to give it a watch :)Thanks for playing! I agree that there should've been more scares but there was actually no looping in the game, you just turned around lol! Great video btw keep up the good work.
well that’s embarrasing 😂
thank you !

(:
:)
Nice game shitted my pants couple of times. The graphics scared my few times, ambient also was a big pain in my ass. I can give it 10/10 for a short horror game this is really good like no scary sounds nothing until you hear the footsteps I didn't even turn around I was just running for my life. You did a great job I hope you'll make more horror games but now I'll play the ones you already made.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked the game and I hope you like my other one too if you do end up playing that :)
Absolutely Loved this game! If you want to use clips for anything let me know!
This game was super creepy and claustrophobic. I really like how it was based on a real life location. Great job!
Hey! Would you be okay with me using some clips from this video in a tiktok? If not that's fine just thought I'd double check beforehand.
Nice game with perfect Horror style graphics.
With the sensitivity of the direction it was harder but I tried to make this a funny-horror game.
I would like to be more jump-scare areas (can be just sound, not necessarily character) and at min 4:45 I don't know if that's how you wanted it to be or I didn't know how to get out of that little one "bug" of map.
Good luck !
Hey thanks for the kind words and criticism! I've been working on fixing the sensitivity and added a volume slider since lots of people have complained about both so that's being worked on and as for the area you found it was actually an easter egg I hid of the Backrooms which is an online urban legend, I mainly added it for my friend because I didn't think that anyone would actually play my game! But I'm glad that people have and that you found my easter egg lol! And thanks for posting a youtube video I love to see them, I'll be watching yours in just a bit.
i like it <3 but can you fix the camera sensitivity? (btw sorry my English)
Thank you and yes I've been working on a fix for sensitivity so thank you for bringing it to my attention!
Good work! Not that scary, but very atmospheric!
Thanks I appreciate it
No problem!
Really good atmosphere and design choice, a game in based in the catacombs was a good choice! Really enjoyed it and looking forward to what you create next!
Thanks Wamuu!
This was pretty good, definitely felt like more of a PSX style game but that is not a bad thing, like the times where the camera is dropped, gives a whole new perspective. Made a video on it.
Yo Fearagen do you mind if I use some clips from this video you made playing my game in a tiktok?
Go ahead, as long as you give credit of course.
Absolutely!
Fun little game, nice work. The tension was at the right level, no nonsense jumpscares, and it kept me anxious the whole way through.
I'm personally not a crazy fan of VHS filters and stuff, but that's all personal taste; it worked well in this case regardless.
Great job and can't wait to see what you make next!
Hi Boundless would you mind me using some clips of your video to put in a tiktok to show my game to a wider audience.
I'd be honored! Feel free to use the clips; hope you're able to keep up the good work with future projects!
Thank you very much! I'll make sure to credit you when I make the vids.
love the game
Hey Hydraxsx, I'm collecting clips to make and edit of people playing my game to post on tiktok. Would you mind me using some clips from your video?
Such a cool game to play, horror is nuts, I love the Catacombs so this was very interesting. Loved the hidden bits. 10/10
