Wow! This was such a compelling experience. What a great and immersive world; great - and interesting - characters, exciting and interesting story and setting, with superb, understated storytelling. Everything was a home run for me. Only wish there was a lot more of it!
Incredible game! Attention to detail is the marrow of it. All the simple, mundane things you can do, really make you feel like you "live" there. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
The game, naturally has it in (I don't want to name a language because I don't know) another language and it has transcript to help English speakers :)
Really interesting! Thought it was going to be a quick run through but I put almost an hour into what I'm guessing was the worst ending. Had I known it would be so long I'd have just made video exclusively for this title 🤣
pretty good game. main character felt like a mix of squidward and geronimo stilton to me lol, cut scenes were good and overall gameplay was too. i was left a little confused in some parts and game felt a little boring at times so there can be improvement but these games have pottential! made a video about the game too
An instant itch.io classic! Well driven just by the story alone but supplemented with proper atmosphere and such intriguing characters - perfectly executed devs!
I really enjoyed this game! I enjoyed the storytelling perspective of the game. I'm actually really interested in what those creatures were; are you planning on making a connecting game to this one to extent on those creatures? The church like state is interesting too! I made myself jump from the mirror once.
My favourite part of this game is that you haven't relied on jumpscares or over the top gore to bring in the fear; it's done through story telling and that is what I love in a good horror game, story bought on fear not over the top gore or jumpscares.
If you ever make a sequel, prequel or anything related to this universe; I'll be happy to see it!
I did do a video on this myself; but I will not post a link as of the time of writing this it is not available, and you have not asked for links. If you do ever want to check it out, you can find it on @puggles on youtube; where it'll be available on the 7th October 2024, at 7PM GMT.
Hey, seems like a really cool game, would be an honor for us if you'd consider joining us as, we're looking for talented indie creators for games, tools, assets, zines, books, ect for a massive a co-op bundle, where we want to include 300 items at least.. If you would like to join us it would be awesome! https://itch.io/jam/ultimate-300-bundle-submissions best regards & peace <3
What a solid story driven game! Loved every minute of this and honestly didn't mind that it took 1 hour. Really compelling with mystery at first but then becomes clear later into the game. Made a video on it.
(Idk why this keeps reposting. I keep deleting but these keep coming up. itch might be acting weird. I nuked all older ones so it isn't spammed.)
This game was so atmospherically charming. I dont know if you have plans to make a new chapter or expand on this, but the ending made me want the game to be four times as long. I hope you consider expanding it into a longer game because the world is so interesting and i'd love to learn more lore and get to enjoy more of this game. I felt like i played a demo and now i cant stop thinking about it
Great Job BananaJeff, the pacing and world building is great. And i would love to explore the outside and learn what's happening in this world and what is causing all this.
Very thought out Story, and makes you yearn for more.
This game is impressive and has the potential for further development if the creators pursue it. I am strongly fascinated with alternate universe dystopias, as the narrative in these games can be tweaked according to the developers' vision; creating fascinating lore that captivates players does not mean genes can do very well. I understand a few examples of other genes working, but this is my opinion. If not expanding on this world's atmosphere and lore, maybe something similar. I also hate to self-promote, but my Twitch VOD for this game is below this review.
Just started playing this and it's quite intriguing. I'm a professional Brazilian translator looking to get into game localization and I was going to offer my services voluntarily, but I saw in one of the comments down below that you can't implement translations into the game? If that ever changes, hit me up at dimiconda@gmail.com
As a typical wuss when it comes down to horror games. I love watching horror games just not a usual fan of playing them but I enjoyed this one! The visuals, sound effects, and story is refreshing to see! I suggest this to anyone and everyone!

Amazing game
"Help with english translations by Vyraje"
does this mean that the game also exists in a non-english version?

I absolutely loved this game! The story and atmosphere are so dark that they’re truly terrifying! Incredible work!
Do You Know What My DARK Secret Is...? 🤔
THE STORY OF THE GAME WAS INCREDIBLY SUSPENSFUL AND ENGAGING! THIS WORK FELT INCREDIBLY PROFFESIONAL AND THE FACT IT WAS FREE IS INSANE TO ME!! 💯❤️🔥
Hey, I'd really to play your game on linux. Are you planning to release a linux version?
Really interesting! Thought it was going to be a quick run through but I put almost an hour into what I'm guessing was the worst ending. Had I known it would be so long I'd have just made video exclusively for this title 🤣
Wauw this is super well made. Stable and beautiful the tense vibe it has is just wonderful.

▲GO WATCH▲Dying to find out more! Kudos on the retro vibes of the game it's definitely different to the horror games I've been playing! Keep up the good work
Awesome game! Really like the atmosphere of the 80's commie Europe.
Looking forward for more content from BananaJeff

The face was most likely changed using A.I from the looks of it.

Definetly worth play!
I got goosebumps playing this. Thanks.
Great game! Really intriguing world building, great stylized graphics and and interesting premise.

dude, loved your game! hope to see more of this universe in the future. regards from brazil.
had me invest from start to finish tbh and cant wait to see and play more from bananadev, had me hooked real early
This was such an AMAZING Story and the environments were crazy! AWESOME JOB!
This game is a hoot to speedrun! Found a little skip so I'm not stuck waiting for the church lady to get done talking in the office room.
Dopiero zacząłem, ale już świetny klimat. Brawo, doskonała robota!
