Definitely creepy stuff. You can continue to insist that your old games are "bad" but I'll go to my grave having never admitted that to be so. Additionally, I'm, even after playing and uploading damn near every game you've released, still quite enjoying playing the games you made early on because it gives me quite a perspective how you've grown and improved as a developer in only a few years time. As always, can't wait to see what you release next and I'll be here with bells on to play each and every game you put out.
Like you mentioned in the video, I do think your opinion is subjective as you always support me no matter what type of content I make, so yeah, this wasn't that great, but I do appreciate your kindness for making a superb gameplay video. Thanks again man!
I mean, I tell you I think your games are fun because that's my honest opinion. I have yet to play a game of yours that I didn't enjoy. If you made something that was just an absolute mess then I wouldn't tell you it was the best thing since sliced bread because if I do that then you don't know where you need to improve and seeing how astronomically you've improved your skills as a developer between this game and the quality of what you release now is absolutely impressive.
Thanks a lot man! This honestly means a lot. Hope to deliver better games next time.
Can't wait to see anything/everything you release in the future!
Hey!
I saw some creepy men in the attics, the noose was creepy and a cool visual, I like the whispers, good atmosphere!
I wasn't sure what was I doing there, but I found the doll, then clicked on the crib and the screen went red over time, first time I didn't get the credits but I restarted and it brought me to credits that time.
Creepy short horror game, good work!
Thank you once again for playing Vidas!
As you can see, this was the first game I made with a legit "game engine", which I am currently using for making games. I did perfect my craft from this one, but definitely this was better than the previous games. This was more of an experiment, getting used to the real engine so yeah. Thanks mate!
A thousand thanks for playing my game. I deeply appreciate the feedback and support. Wish all the best Purple Edge. Liked the video a lot. Cheers!
Do you also pick up unknown dolls in the forest?
Hey, your read me file asked for a comment so I'll leave my gameplay of your game. I really enjoyed it and found it lovely/funny, although I couldn't get to the end. It might not be you, it's a trend of mine.
16:03 I did find your monster hiding though ;)
Thank you so much for this. It's been a long time since I released this and lot of new things I did add on my portfolio. Glad you enjoyed it and made a great video. Cheers!
I actually do have some of your other games in my queue already. I'll post the vid when I get to them :)
Thanks a lot for playing this, I really do appreciate the kind words and support. I will try to make my best in the future, glad you enjoyed the game.

Thoroughly good game, would recommend 100%
Thanks for checking out my game. I really enjoyed the playthrough! Thanks a lot.
What can I say? This was a pretty short well-made game. The atmosphere was creepy, and I really liked the night vision camera and the ability to zoom in. I wish there were more you could do though, overall great game!
Thanks so much for the positive feedback. I am working on the actual game with a friend and it's really a good one, so, maybe you will enjoy that more.
Jay Thunderstorm Gaming played my game. Their super fun vibes and spooky playthrough just made my day. Thanks to them.
BizzareStar played my game and I was humbled by them for considering my game worth checking out. Thanks to them.
Alec played my game. I appreciate their support and shout out for the game. Thanks to them.
P.S. Crux is the first game in this video
Thanks a lot for playing my game. Deeply appreciate the feedback.
I really liked the green effect from the camera. Some notes: I played through once, then went to play again and I still had the doll from the previous playthrough. Also, this second time I was able to see the people around the fire, but I didn't see them the first time because the reddening of the screen effect happened too fast I guess.
Thanks a lot for checking out my game and congrats! You attended the second ritual.
That was actually a bug, which I could not fix so, I guess you are lucky. Thanks for leaving the comment, positive words and feedback.
No problem and that's a cool kind of bug!
game was creepy but I couldn't figure out what to do lol
Thanks a lot for checking out my game, I deeply appreciate that.
Very creepy to explore surroundings and especially with green recordings. Good game.
Thank you so much. Appreciate the feedback my friend. Cheers.
No problem, I enjoy the game very much!
Honestly creepy as heck. I kinda wish there was more!
Thanks a lot for playing. I appreciate your feedback and the playthrough of other games got me invested in them too. Thanks.
I featured your game in my video - 21:30
Thanks a lot for checking out my game. I deeply appreciate the feedback and your consideration. Thanks.
Crux is short, simple, and a bit green, but seems like a good start for someone learning.
Good job, dev. Could use some extra audio, maybe footsteps or a breeze to fill the void.Thanks so much for a fun, entertaining and the most hilarious playthrough of my project, I was amused. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for playing my game. Appreciate the feedback.
Thanks so much for checking out my game. I am glad you enjoyed the experience for what it was. Thanks.
Aww no problem, you're very welcome!!
Thanks a lot for checking out my game, really appreciate that.
Thank you for checking out my game. Appreciate the feedback, the game does need some additional features, yet, it's atmospheric and not jump scare type, although I would definitely consider that next time.
Thanks for the gameplay. I am glad you enjoyed this short experience. Appreciate the feedback.
Actually really enjoyed this one. Definitely has the style and the environment kept me on edge the whole time. Hoping to see this maybe expanded on in the future, and looking forward to checking out your other projects!
Thanks for checking out my game. I am glad you enjoyed it, especially the burned victims, which not many did notice, so, good job and happy you attended the ritual.
This was really nice, the whispers were great, the atmosphere was really spot on for making me on edge. It had a feel of Blair Witch! Good job!
Thank you so much! You are too kind with the compliments. I am glad you enjoyed your time! Will definitely do better next time.
No problem, and of course! It's a great game! Looking forward to the next game!
Are there any jumpscares or monsters in this game?
Thanks for the question. The answer is it depends. The story is very simple, yet, the game focuses more on atmosphere, for example - the rope hanging from the tree, the mysterious people just watching over you in the houses and if you investigate more outside the forest too. It's just more of a look around, on spot game, which is once again written in the description.
As for the jump scares, I would say no, the game has no jump scares, it's an atmospheric game, once again written in the description.
Thanks for checking it out.
Gameplay begins at 5:44, good job with this game :) the little details in it were quite spooky and I enjoyed it quite a lot !

5MG Channel played my game and I have to say, I always wanted them to play any of my games and glad that they chose this one. Thanks to them.
I played this game and it was a hell of a cool game. Not super jumpscary but very creepy!!
Thanks! Wonderful gameplay, short, fun and definitely helpful. Will work on the sound design in the future, as suggested. Thanks!
Played this on the channel, wish there were some jumscares tho or an enemy chasing me. Good atmosphere i expected a few! Enjoyed!
Thank you so much, I was very amused with your playthrough, super fun, full of funny comments and of course, thankful for the feedback! You really did found the monsters, because most people missed those, so appreciate that.
