Wow man, altough I'm no fan of point and click this one was really nice and tripy with great graphics. kudos!

aeveis 2012-08-27 04:23

very pretty, I was also creeped out. Not sure if there's more than one ending. Though the ending I got surprised me.

pentaphobe 2012-08-27 04:58

Wow that looks amazing!

discofish 2012-08-27 06:51

So beautiful!

spotlightor 2012-08-27 12:04

Great graphics and the worms are so horrible!

mach60kas 2012-08-27 12:09

The graphics are really fantastic - I felt they set the mood really well! I was a little creeped out, and the ending certainly caught me by surprise. Overall, I really enjoyed this.

cornedor 2012-08-27 14:44

Your graphics are very nice. Gameplay was a bit confusing.

foxor 2012-08-27 17:29

I have no idea what just happened, but I think I got evolved

buffalophil 2012-08-27 17:34

Looks amazing! You ought to put a heart warning on there like they do on roller coasters; that fist worm scared the shit outta me.

mclogenog 2012-08-27 18:22

Fantastic graphics and mood. The little worms seemed a little arbitrary and unavoidable, since I ended up clicking everything I could find, but that almost makes them worse for the anticipation. This spooky point and click format could work really well for a longer experience.

cadin 2012-08-27 19:36

Wow! Fantastic graphics and mood. I jumped every time one of those things hit me.
I didn't get very far. I couldn't really figure out what to do other than click everything.

turnip 2012-08-27 20:19

Did not manage to find a single bandage, hence bled to death quite rapidly. Having to hold down to investigate an area becomes a bit tedious as well. It was pretty to look at though, and the sounds worked well with the mood of the game.

photex 2012-08-27 20:29

absolutely no idea what's going on. I clicked things, worms ate my face, and after a while of just clicking around the first screen I returned to the title screen. I feel like there was something interesting in there but I'm apparently too obtuse to dig it out. :/

ollie 2012-08-27 23:11

The look and feel of this is awesome and really creates an atmosphere. I was a little disappointed at the ending as the gameplay was a little thin on the ground, but overall it was cool and reminded me of some of the Assassins Creed Subject 16 stuff

the-jack 2012-08-28 06:28

Absolutely gorgeous. Would love to see your art coupled with some more fleshed-out game design some day.

rmatey 2012-08-28 17:59

Really love the graphic design and look of this game, great job!

raroadkill 2012-08-28 20:21

Very nice graphics. I enjoyed it

seconddimension 2012-08-28 20:23

Beautiful, very immersive.

entrusc 2012-08-28 20:25

Interesting game. Really good graphics and matching sfx! Somehow reminds me of Prometheus.

darkshadow 2012-08-28 20:29

Managed to get to the end, really jumped at the first worm, and quite a few after that. The various types of medical equipment was good. It could have done with a bit more of a story and an explaination about the worms and weird boxes.

mipi 2012-08-28 21:11

Hi! You asked me where to find the second stone. You didn't find the Bunker, it's located to the right from the big rock! Hope you try again!

triplevisiongames 2012-08-28 21:16

Fantastic graphics and creepy audio and mood.

bumpkinrich 2012-08-28 22:52

Arg. Why did I choose to play this at midnight. Don't usually go for point and click / hidden object. Maybe you've evolved those genres too.

mipi 2012-08-28 23:36

Gameplay was kind of original, havnt playd too much point and click which is combined with this randomization and stuff collection. But yes, strong points were graphics/audio/mood departments.

yettatore 2012-08-29 03:38

The best horror game I played so far, seriously... The game, the atmosphere, the graphics... Everything is AWESOME...
My question is: How you do that with AS2 ... YOU ARE GOD!!!

bneutral 2012-08-29 03:44

The graphics and mood were fantastic, but the game itself was kind of confusing (plotwise) and short.
Also AS2? Update already man! Haha.

yettatore 2012-08-29 03:46

I swore that the game was made with "Unity"... When I see AS2 I said: WHAT???????????????
P.D.: The final is very creepy YEAH!

fhoenig 2012-08-29 04:14

Very very beautiful.

maxium 2012-08-29 07:56

I enjoyed this, simple but had a great mood to it.

mipi 2012-08-29 12:34

Oh, right, sorry my bad. Didn't have time to add damage taken indictor. So in the end you need to shoot the ghosts, but it takes a lot of hits and there's no indication of damage taken.. Pretty flawed, should have informed it immediately.

christinaneofotistou 2012-08-30 06:58

Dude, this is AWESOME!!!!!!!! The mood is so mass effect-y and also: The Dig. I was hoping someone would do some alien horror

I was a bit stumped at the end, didn't expect the hexagon to be where it was.

Good job and full marks

christinaneofotistou 2012-08-30 07:10

Aaah now I get it! You made "Only dust" last LD!
Fantastic :)

vagabondex 2012-08-30 12:44

Very good game! Enjoyed it, but it is way too short :D

dustystylus 2012-08-30 12:52

Incredible atmosphere, but not sure if I 'won'? Think I need to see a walkthrough done by someone else. :)

dlan 2012-08-30 19:51

really impressive, the mood of the game is just perfect, and the various "trapped" box add a nice tension to the game, keeping you on your toes. I noticed a minor glitch with the ambient sound loop, you can hear when it restart, which break the immersion a little :)

puzzlem00n 2012-08-30 20:04

Woah... Nice. I didn't jump at anything, but I'm kind of hard to scare when I'm given a warning (a.k.a. reading the ominous monologue thing in the description.) I like it, and the system is amazing. Please, give this a remake, or a sequel or something. And tell me when you do!

capgrip 2012-08-31 01:48

Great graphics and sound effects. Very goog mood. Well done!

nimblegorilla 2012-08-31 19:04

Great ambiance. I think I may have reached the ending, but it was so sudden that I'm not sure if it was the real ending or just another death scene...

misfit 2012-09-01 12:06

Awesome graphics and mood!

gritfish 2012-09-02 03:52

Great graphics and sound. Could have done with more indication of what was clickable outside of the cursor. Short and scary. Really like it.

cakencode 2012-09-03 18:00

Took me a bit to figure out that I had to simply use the hexagon item but after that it all fell into place. Great use of ambiance to create mood. The ending was unexpected, but it was a solid ending.

mr_hk_ 2012-09-03 22:43

Great compo, the mood is freaking top notch. The gameplay is a bit confusng but i guess it helps make the game even more moody.

michax 2012-09-04 02:09

Wow, great looking sceneries! Nice idea for survival point and click game.

cataclysmicknight 2012-09-07 02:45

Yeah, definitely an awesome ending... And I do love how the game kind of became more simplistic due to simply randomly clicking spots and letting it load up... Very creepy, very awesome!

wan 2012-09-07 15:19

This game looks absolutely amazing. There's a special mood in here that I'd love to see in some kind of space-horror movie!

The first worm and the ending both almost gave me a heart attack :-x

infernet89 2012-09-10 11:29

Woha, best graphics ever seen!
Need more feedback on the gameplay, but i think it's normal for a point-and-click..
The attacking alien is amazing, good work!

eli 2012-09-12 04:04

Awesome, I love your style. Seems to have come leaps and bounds since last time, and now with amazing sound design as well. Really solid work for a weekend. Keep it up!

monomanio 2012-09-13 15:45

Very nice :)

davidwparker 2012-09-14 15:08

Interesting game. I remember your last game (in similar vein). I like that you added bad guys that could hurt you this time... although I think it would be nice to add more, perhaps? Good stuff. Not sure about the theme though.

supermini_man 2012-09-17 18:07

Nice graphics. The fast thinking PnC element was cool as well. :)
