A good thing) I like the graphics and the music. For my taste, the management is a little taut, but most likely it was conceived)

Really cool vibe, love the concept and aesthetic. Chasing behind the humans to collect their trailing fear was pretty great. Awesome work!

The game has an interesting mood, dark and creepy. Sadly, I always only find the first crowd to get drops and dye before I find the second and I didn't understand what the stone does when throwing. The game has a nice look and provides a cool mood

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@leeloo The trick is all in the stealth, you can only collect fear from them while they're close to you, so you need to find a way to make them afraid without seeing you (they'll bolt at the first sighting of a monster). Without giving too much away, the stones create a sound that'll get their attention if it lands nearby, and so will your footsteps when you're not sneaking.

Interesting idea to play the horror game monster instead of the survivor

Cool vibe and feel. I'm a sound designer and some sfx dont quite match the action, like the rock throwing, but, the music of the tutorial is really creepy! Good job!

I had great fun playing this game! I played similar games like this, but from the other side of the story... people keeping the fire alive - heh, even my game is like that. But this concept is creative as hell!! Well done. The game has great atmosphere and mechanics I have not seen anywhere, so I can easily see this becoming a bigger title. There were some some things I did not like tho, like the fear droplets fading too quickly, a second more would be enough. First game I am rating *5.

Nice game! I had trouble actually harvesting the fear, it was quite hard not to be noticed! I liked the mood and I think the idea is really good! Keep working on it and it could be really fun!

Nice work! We had similar ideas it seemed, but I think you executed better. I liked the art. I wish it was a little more clear how to properly scare the campers. Cool game!

Great concept! There is some balancing to do but otherwise the execution is pretty cool! :D

Congratulations for making this game ! I loved the concept ! That was sad because the fear drops lifetime is very short (so it's better to make the humans directly run away). Loved this entry !

That's a really original idea! The game is a bit too difficult, it is really hard to collect fear since it disapears really quickly. It would be fun to add different type of humans, some more brave than others, some faster, etc.

Well done!
