Perfect
This scared the living hell out of me. I wouldn't change a single think about any element of this game, except for one thing. The white face that appears before you enter the code is kind of annoying. Other than that, it is perfect, I have never enjoyed a flash this much, thank you so so much.
excellent..
great buildup of suspense..sound and art worked well together.. fuckin freaked the shit outta me.. great job
Very good
If you don't like doing a lot of reading and looking for stuff, then this isn't for you. Alot of people found it to be boring, but if one can get themselves into the plot, it is very enjoyable. I found myself wanting to stop playing because of it's freakiness, but I was also compelled to keep playing. The game doesn't really go for shock value scares like resident evil, it tends to creep you out with atmospheric scares, like silent hill. I also want to mention that this has absolutely fantastic sound effects. If you have a slower computer and this takes awhile to load, be patient, it's well worth it!
OMFG!!! WHAT WAS THAT!?!?
I couldn't even keep telling myself it was a game because it was too damn scary!!! Great job for your first time! The faint whispers, voices, and apparitions kept me glued to this game plus they added a certain scary mood that you aren't able to get in a lot of games! Keep up the good work!
best flash ever
ok, everyone bitching about how hard it is? use the walkthrough, i believe you learned how to read when you were about 7 years old, hopefully.
(i did at 3, but that's not the point.)
the point is, this is fucking amazing, especially for your first flash. come on people, he made the music, AND graphics, AND programmed the game, and this is his first try at a real game.
give this man a mother fucking hand, seriously.
I still haven't been able to sleep for about two nights decently now, because of the 2nd ending's zombie/whatever creature that pops up at you when you try to escape lingering in my mind, i imagine one of those coming from out of the hallway, or the camper running down the hallway, etc.
the game is expertly crafted, it's short but sweet, takes some skill, great storyline, definitely good timing with the sudden "jumps" in whatever/stuff coming out at you, and i'd love to play a sequel like it.
10's all around. Although, i would *maybe* consider making it a bit more like explanatory about the symbols etc. in your next game? I don't think anyone would get how to solve the final puzzle unless they REALLY thought it through or used a walkthrough, but i had found everything but two symbols by the time i had to go to your walkthrough.
One other suggestion; maybe make more interactive/real time events? like the axe swinging, etc. otherwise, this game is fucking amazing. definitely deserves front page. I have to ask though, are all of the faces in the game your friends, you, or just taken from somewhere else?
hehehe - glad you liked it. In hindsight, there are a lot of things that I could have done better in the game, but impatience and lack of spare time kept me from going back and revising it. These will be fixed for the next one I am currently working on (for release by end of October *fingers crossed*)
As far as the faces and characters are concerned, they are all friends and work collegues of mine. All pictures and characters were from digital photos that I've taken during my Friday night drinking binges over the past 2 years.
Just out of interest, I am actually the 4th face in the intro - the one right after the exmortis title fades away. It was a picture taken from a halloween party last year and I thought that it was sufficiently scary to include in the game.
