This game was such an adventure! I really loved all the different characters you meet throughout the game. Each time I ran into someone new I would question if they were the criminal haha. Great job with the game!
This kind of games with pixelated stuff going on, it really gives me spoopks. goosbomps!!! best indie horror game no lie. edit: would've donated money, since im 13, i dont have banking nor money, lol
I really like how the game progressively becomes creepier and creepier. Like, its starts normal, even funny with the first store and the policeman, and then the plot develops into this very scary atmosphere where you start to findout that someone is chasing you.
I really like the effort you put in this :)
pd: the addition of the caretaker song its amazing it fits really good
Hi, I thought about proposing a story to you for your next game since in the comments of the FeverDream teaser you said that it was still a rough concept. Are you interested? Where can I send it to you?
My GOSH!! I felt like I would die of the suspense before anything even got to me 🤣 I was so scared 😅
The music you picked for this game was so good!! I loved it. I say this game is a success on your part. CONGRATULATIONS You scared the last bit of sanity out of me!!👏
Just kidding🤭 BUT it was great!! So thank you Good luck and stay healthy.

When i download it it takes me to an edge page where i infinitly download it and never actually play it. I would appreciate it so so so so so much if you could help, this game looks incredibly fun =]
I had so SO much fun playing this game. I love everything from the characters, the story, the gameplay. The only thing I wish it had was alternate endings since its really linear. Either way, this is a great game. Good job dev!!!!!
This game was very interesting, the game had a lot of creepy moments that led to a random jumpscare. I started getting confused with where the story was going but the twist at the end brought it back around! Definitely enjoyed it!
This game is nuts I absolutely love it and I'll be honest I only came here becuase me and my friend were trying to decode if that was the Richie tozier poster but this game is so well made and put me on edge SM it's unreal but it's amazing <3 needs more clout in my opinion but it's awesome <33 I hope you're okay and doing well
Hi Jordi! I really liked your game! The story of it is the same as my problem in real life, but,... hehe, just a little. And i'm suprised that you're just 15, so talented! (Sorry but... I'm Vietnamese and my English is not good, so my comment can get wrong somewhere in grammar)
No, really, that's a really fantastic job. Do you mind telling me a little bit more about how you developed it?
1. How many days (approx.) did it take to make it? 2. What was the most challenging part? 3. What's the % of used and own-made assets? 4. Have you ever felt like you're about to drop the development of this project? Perhaps you started to feel burned out at the end and etc.
1. If you count the days where i didnt work on the game, just how long it took from beginning to release it probably was about 2 months id say which is 60 days!
But if we only count the days where I actually worked on the game i probably spent around a total of all the hours combined around 1-2 weeks!
2. Probably the most challenging part of creating this game was trying to keep the player interested, when I had just started out with the game I realized that going from store to store for a long time will eventually get boring.
So because of that I forced myself to follow one simple rule, every store will be unique in a way that gives the player more content in a way. For example, you pay 15 dollars for musty milk in the convenience store and Jordan ( Me :D ) throws a tantrum when Jordan has to give it away, Body shop, you get to try out 3 different shampoos with all of them having different dialogues to them. The toy store has a wiring puzzle, and the techstore has a creepy ass robot.
I also had to find a way to slowly build tension while keeping the shopping premise of the game continuous,
since the game is basically a walking simulator in a town I had to spend a lot of time just thinking what different types of events can happen in a town that will keep the player occupied? Like cars, maybe rats on the street, bystanders, cops. And with that I spend a huge amount of time just thinking of what I could do to make sure the player is never ever bored.
3. almost all of the city assets are not made by me, they come in a city pack. But all of the stores are modeled by me, all of the npcs are textured and rigged by me, about 90% of the interior models in each store are made by me, the shampoos are made by me and each have a goofy lil label made by me, since you spend most of the game time outside, then there's alot of assets in the city pack but id say its fair to say 60% me 40% city pack!
4. Yes 100%, I wouldn't say I've ever felt the need to quit working on the project, but I have had many days where I feel extremely exhausted, the thing with me is that I always feel a need to do something productive even though I may be tired, and while i was making the game i had alot of tests in school so i was really stressed aswell since im in junior high, there were some days where i came home from school and i felt like total shit and i barely had any energy left in me, but usually if i dont do something productive each day i end up feeling like i wasted that day. So then i force myself to work on the game so i feel that i have done something productive, so sometimes it's like a chore and sometimes it's like a reward when it comes to working on the game but it all came done to if i had other stuff i needed to do or some other times where i maybe couldn't come up with any interesting things to put in the game to keep the player occupied, because don't flow smoothly in game development, well thats when it can become a chore, but as soon as i came up an idea to fill the game with content, like for example the interaction with Ruben, then it starts becoming fun and like a reward because you know what you want to add in the game and what you need to do to make it good or fun.
But at the end of the day i had a blast working on the game, yes sure i had some days where i felt that the game was just annoying to work on, but honestly my main motivation to finish the game and to keep working is for comments like this
i am extremely thankful to have created something that people enjoy and all those days where i was burnt out, well yeah it doesn't matter because the payoff is huge if you push through.
If there's anymore questions you have I would love to answer them! :)
phenomenal work on this, especially considering its only your second game, also, your explanation video was fantastic, great work jordi, you terrified me in many ways and i hated every single second that i was placed in it meaning you did everything right, hope to see more of your work later down the line!
Ha! I loved your humor in this game. The bizarre situations and I was impressed how much fun it was to play. Looking at your profile it looks like this was your second game so far. Reading from the other comments, props to you for making a great game at an early age. Keep it going. I will be rooting for you

Woo! :D
I can’t figure out how to load up the game :\
are you having issues with extracting the file or do you not know what folders to open?
When i download it it takes me to an edge page where i infinitly download it and never actually play it. I would appreciate it so so so so so much if you could help, this game looks incredibly fun =]
Do you have winrar to extract it?
what in the mother of flippity flappaty flapjacks in a winrar?
It's an extracting/zipping software, you'll need it if you want to extract the game i think, or play it in general.
I had so SO much fun playing this game. I love everything from the characters, the story, the gameplay. The only thing I wish it had was alternate endings since its really linear. Either way, this is a great game. Good job dev!!!!!
Thank you so much! Im glad you enjoyed it!
