I'm a huge fan of found footage style horror movies/games and this felt a lot like Blaire Witch to me (mainly the game) and I loved it! Great work on this
Nice short horror game! Straight in and it was nice! I cannot wait for more. My only issue was the brightness of the flashlight. Other than that, fantastic! Here is my gameplay, I gave honest feedback at the end.
really well made game, I would just suggest some audio balancing. The doll ambience was really overwhelming as was the breathing at the end. Other than that really well made and looks beautiful. looking forward to a full releas
Okay this scared the HELL out of me, But I made it so much worse by exploring the forest. If you ever wanted to make a bigger game you could add another house, or an objective where you take the figure back into the woods. I would LOVE to play a full version of this! It was amazing. Thank you
Rootman is a monster that dwells in the deep, dark woods of a small town. It is said to have roots that run deep into the earth and a body made of twisted, gnarled trees. No one knows how old it is or where it came from, but the townsfolk fear it all the same. Rootman is feared for its ability to manipulate the trees and plants around it, using them to ensnare its victims. It is said that once caught in its grasp, the roots wrap tightly around the body, squeezing the life out of its prey. Those who have encountered Rootman describe it as a towering, shadowy figure with glowing eyes that seem to follow their every move. Despite its fearsome reputation, no one has ever been able to destroy Rootman. The monster is cunning and elusive, always slipping away from those who attempt to hunt it. And so, the town lives in fear of Rootman, never venturing too far into the woods for fear of encountering the monster. It's said that on quiet, moonless nights, one can hear Rootman's haunting laughter echoing through the trees, reminding the town of its ever-present presence and the danger that lurks within the forest
This game was awesome, the graphics and details was great, the atmosphere was spot on and I got frightened real quick. Hopefully this short horror game can be made into a full game somewhere in the near future.
Just now had to reupload the video because of weird motion blur issues that occurred in the rendering process. Love the concept of bodycam found footage. No Idea how you could improve upon the concept but I am excited to see where you are going with this!
This game is great. One suggestion is to allow resolution changes in the pause menu. I'm guessing this played in 1440p, which is my monitor resolution. This lagged my OBS a little although it doesn't come through in the full video.
