What a unique concept ! I love when horror games take real life comparisons and make them into games (especially horror). Extremely well made and creepy as heck. Awesome job !

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

I loved this game, I felt like I should have read a bible after playing this game!

Dark, disturbing and creepy. Very well made! 10/10

Heyo! My girlfriend gave this a shot.

played this on a 3 scary games, it was deeply disturbing… keep up the good work!

I really liked this experience. Definitely a whole lot heavier than i thought it was gonna be

That was a nice short game. Don't know if I overanalyzed it, but for me it felt like a double meaning. Not only the horror of mom feeding baby, but some meaning behind it about being a mother or the main provider to keep a baby alive. Good game. I really enjoyed it.

PS.: Rafix comment under mine is a pretty good feedback text! =)

GIANT TEXT INCOMING >:)


I would like to give feedback on the game to help you with future projects! :D

The aesthetics and colors are wonderful, they give a very dreamy feeling and acceptance of a destiny, and this goes well with the narrative, I REALLY felt extremely distressed and disturbed playing it (in a good way, the game gave the feeling it wanted).

I don't know if it was a matter of time, but regarding the level design I think a lot of things could be arranged differently, firstly the house is very straight to the point, I can just move on and ignore all the built details, like the fridge, calendar, door, and these details help tell the narrative and place the game in the atmosphere, it would be cooler if we had to either interact with these objects before or the house was arranged in such a way that I had to walk through these scenes before proceeding

and also the transitions didn't seem very correct to me, things just flicker from one place to another, as it's supposed to look like an old video game, the transitions could be done with glitches, looking like the game has frozen, or with a black fade, or a very 2000s loading screen that when you touch a place the game stops all sounds, shows a loading screen, and then cuts to the other scene.

And the narrative is very interesting and disturbing, however I think it is told in a very direct way, you walk, go to the baby, read a text and make a decision, it would be more interesting if they were more "abstract" actions or with less explanation, and texts that explain the sensation of the mother or baby could for example flash on the screen like glitches as you walk towards the baby, or some object on the floor that reflects the emotion of the mother or baby, the part where there is several crosses and the text with blood was very good, things like that could be used in the middle of the gameplay, because the gameplay loop was like this, walk to the baby, read a text, make a decision, repeat, I'm not saying it's bad, but it wasn't intuitive, at the moment you are walking towards the baby nothing happens, and the screen is static, there are no shaders, movements in the scenery or different sound effects, at this moment it would be interesting to have visions and messages popping to read that scare the player and tell the story.

Furthermore, I missed some visual and sound effects to accompany the game, don't get me wrong, the aesthetics are incredible and the sounds were very sinister, but in many moments I believe there was a shake on the screen, a blur, or some different sounds could help the atmosphere.

But this is just feedback for improvement, everything I didn't mention is because it was very good and I really liked it, I loved the aesthetics and narrative of the game, I'll be very happy to see your next projects! :D

This was very creative my dude! Dark, a little disturbing and very weird. One of a kind for sure! It reminded me older art house horror movies like eraser head. Seriously really great job, great story, the presentation was amazing the eyes and mouths just give such a disturbing feel. I recommend completely! Check out my gameplay video, sub and help my channel grow!

Everything about this game is great, the plot, the atmosphere, the graphics. The only thing that I had problems with, was when playing with a controller, I couldn't rotate the player. Besides that, I loved the game. I'll be waiting for the next one! 

El juego fue realmente perturbador. Me ha gustado.

i was creeped out the whole game ngl KKKKKKKKKKK but it was amazing!! its confusing in a way tat makes you wanna keep playing it no matter how weird or creepy it gets and the end gave me chills, tho i think it would be more interesting if the voice wasnt the cliche demonic and something more akin to a cry or a childlike voice, but i still loved it!

the visuals are insane, the real life interacting with pixels made it scary without having to be gory and the woman's eye and mouth kept me on edge for the next day

the last part made more sense out of the whole experience, howhever, i do miss the interactivity and desitions, even fake ones to serve the narrative, that games an provide, i have to wonder if this would be better as an aniamtion or video making the visuals and dialogue, the best parts, shine even brigther

Such a wonderful game! Loved the style and changes in graphics! Great story! Overall I loved it!

Thank you! Nice thumbnail!

TÜRKÇE

Thanks for sharing!

I LOVED THIS GAME!

I really like the overall style of the game and its narrative. I love the transitions too with the real life footage, which gives it this surreal kind of vibe. I am really excited to see what you make in the future and will be a long time supporter form here on out!!!

Thank you very, very much! I will definitely work on another game as soon as somehow possible. Perhaps consider following me on Twitter to stay in touch and be notified about my future projects! Thanks again!

I loved every minute playing this game! Definitely creeped me out especially with the audio. This truly is an interesting take on motherhood that I thoroughly enjoyed! 

Thanks! I'm glad that you enjoyed the game!

The controls are a bit weird, but the story was good. Nice game!

Thanks for sharing!

Super sick, didn't have a fun time (in a good way).

Thanks! I'm glad you didn't have a fun time!

Thank you for sharing! I really enjoyed your analysis, and I am very happy that you like my writing. You are also the first who translated the title correctly! Although funnily enough, I never heard of "Little Shops of Horror".

(+1)

I'm really glad you liked it! And that's really funny how creativity can come up with similar ideas! Looking forward to what you do next!

Absolutely loved this, just a bit sad I had to revert to mouse and keyboard as I had the issue others described with controller. D-pad and analog for walk forward both also tilt the camera up.

Thanks! The game only supports Xbox controllers and was only tested with a first-party Xbox Series controller. Perhaps this is what causes the problem?

(+1)

'fraid not, was using a new xbox controller

Weird, I'll look into this issue! Thanks for letting me know!

My main question is who the heck was the father hahaha. This was pretty interesting in a eldritch horror sense, where the player is left wondering what is going on. Really unsettling and disturbing and yet short and simple in terms of gameplay. Overall, great job dev (s), you guys are certainly out of the ordinary XD

(+1)

Thank you! Some questions will never be answered 😉Also, I am a one man team! If you can call that a team at least.

As a human that's has been birthed into this world and and as person with a mother this resonates with me on a level that has made me ponder on my existence and thus i shall be thanking ye for this nightmerish-eldrich game 

and also SUBSCRIBE pls

Thanks for sharing! I've been birthed as well, fortunately I don't have to be a second time...

The PS1 Style and "tank-controls" are well made. The feeling of playing a game from that time, especially with the sound effects and starting screens is there.

The Story definitely weirded me out and the FMV Parts where great aswell.

Ein ganz normales Spiel von einem ganz normalen Entwickler :)

Danke dir!

that was interesting and well made, keep it up!

Thank you, hope you enjoyed it!

Hello, I played this game, and it was very interesting, good work :)

This was an intense game to go through. The story, the environment and the cutscenes were really well done. I was disgusted and mortified the whole time. You did an amazing job!

Thank you! When you felt disgusted that means I did everything right!

Struggled with the controls here, for whatever reason movement on the controller felt.. broken? Moving forward also rotated the camera up. Unfortunately because I really wanted to look around at everything! I liked being able to look at photos, the table, feel little moments of the MC's thoughts. Perhaps my fav parts were the live action footage.

Thanks! The game only supports Xbox controllers and was only tested with a first-party Xbox Series controller. Perhaps this is what causes the problem?

Took me a wee mo to get used to the controls, been ages since I played with tank style. but all in all a decent wee game indeed. 

(+1)

Thank you! The controls are definitely awkward!

Wow, this was an amazing game. The creepy atmosphere, the visuals and the story were all great. 10/10 

Here's my gameplay of it:

Thank you very much! Great video, I am glad you enjoyed it!

Very creepy, great job!

Thank you very much!

do you need help in future games with a spanish translation?

Currently I don't think it would make much sense to translate any project of mine into another language. Perhaps in the far future. But thank you very much for your offer!

GOOODDD, sedih sih kalo jadi ibunya bimbang juga pilihannya antara milih anak atau milih akal sehat. 


Thank you!
