I watched the playthrough and it was awesome! That giggle in the end, with third ending - oh man, you are fun to watch. Thanks a lot for supporting me, always. Best to you man!
@ Niven Hedinger: This will be the 3rd time I upload this game on your Ich.io page. In the first 2 cases with glowing comments, but as both have disappeared, I will post this one without them this time. As per usual, I enjoyed playing your game, so thanks for making it :o]
Hey Daniel! I was scrolling through the comments and I found the one you wrote down below, which is still there. I don't know about the second one. It might be the page issue, because usually when you put the YT link, the comment doesn't appear. It is strange indeed. Like I said, the first comment (I guess the original one) is still on the page and I replied to it minutes ago. Thanks for being considerate!
If you're looking for a short and simple atmospheric horror game, this is a good contender. I had fun playing—not too scary, but I did get scared at one point! The gameplay is simple, the story had my attention, and the style is nice! I even wanted to find all 3 endings. I will say (trying to be vague for spoilers) that the event at the coffee machine was not very clear, but I did spot it. Overall, I had fun!
I loved this a lot, it has that sorta old school horror feel to it because of the stereotypical appearance of the alien but it works super well somehow. Also, I did all the tasks standing up like an idiot on purpose, gottem XD. The 3 endings were fun to get though and ending 1 absolutely broke me cause I sorta got it accidentally haha. Can't wait to see what you come up with next! Your game starts at 19:39 on my video, in case you wanna check it out
A thousand thanks for playing my game, as usual! Your videos are super fun and hilarious at times, like with that ending lol. Thanks for supporting me, always. Best to you!
I finally had the chance to play Gimmick and was not disappointed. interesting story, good scares and three endings! What more could a horror fan ask for? Well, and Aliens, my number two right after haunted houses ;)
Huge thanks for playing! I deeply appreciate the feedback. Haunted Houses are indeed scary! I still got to check out your new game, shoot! I will definitely get around playing it, I promise ✨
Lol, that was the corpse bag ahaha! There was a little Easter Egg for those, who love to mess around with my game and you know, test the "boundaries", so otherwise, nothing special. Also, you can turn on the single handle sink lol. Thanks again friend, your support is immense. Best to you!
This was a welcome surprise, I wasn't expecting a new game from you already since Passerby was less than a month ago! Anyway, this one was really good, nice and short and creepy. Much as I love horror, I do also love some science fiction/alien action. The creepy sounds are creepy, had me running around like some sort of decapitated farm animal looking for what was causing them. I do have two questions, though:
1. Was there more than one alien? The one that first showed up by the desk chair was really short, but the one at the end of Ending 3 was super tall 2. What happened to Peter?
All in all way, the hits just keep falling out of you, keep it up!
Huge thanks once again for playing my game, I deeply appreciate the feedback man! Well, there was only 1 Alien, which was trapped in the room, that was sealed off. The body bag was either Peter or the lab assistant, as the note says they had to stay late for some "favor". I hope that helps lol. Best to you!
But...but...the room that was sealed never opened up, so how did the alien get loose? Also, if the body bag was either the lab tech or Peter, why did it disappear after the first disk. I figured Peter mutated or something because the note from the lab tech said he had been acting weird. Either way, very good game, really liked this one.
The note mentions that Peter was hearing whispers and someone talking to them. It is a "cliché" thing to use in the game, that Alien has the telepathy and that's exactly what I did lol. Basically, like the name suggests, it was all a gimmick, you know? The background for something more and different. Thanks again for playing!
God is so generous to me that He didn't even spare His own Son. If I'm generous it's only because of Him. BTW can't wait to try another one of your games! you rock!! 👍
I encountered a bug at the start, when I click the note in the first room I am unable to make it go away no matter what I do :( any help on how to move past that?
Hi! Sorry for the late response. It is very weird, because no one had that specific issue. I double checked the game and it should work if you press RMB. Maybe you can restart the game and once you click on the note then press RMB, right away. Hope this helps.
It's working now! I restarted the game and the bug went again, it must have been some sort of error on my part. Cool game by the way! I've gotten 2 endings so far, gonna see if I can get the rest before work
I enjoyed the scares and suspense a lot while playing! I haven't got all the endings yet but will most likely will revisit this horror game to get them all. Very fun and unique horror game. :)))
Hey man good game. At first I thought you didn't make this game scary until I saw that I got ending 2 and it said I made it out "safe and unharmed" so I'm going to have to go back and figure out how to get the other endings. And again Great game friend.
Something different from the usual horror, this is the second game in a row. I really liked the interesting concept. I found all three endings. Very good game, keep it up. I would like you to make a horror game with a little longer gameplay and an interesting story, such as is the game Incoherence, something similar. Nice job:)
Thanks for playing, once again! Appreciate the feedback. Longer games are indeed harder to make, but that's not an excuse, I agree. "Incoherence" was a very dark game. I do want to explore more themes like that and probably will at some point, once again. Best to you!
Niven Hedinger has yet struck again, and unleashed a new horror game on Ichi.io's playfield of terror.
The Game: You play as David, and your new new job certainly comes with its fair share of intrigue and mystery. The task seems straightforward at first—transferring data on old floppy disks—but it quickly becomes apparent that there's more to this job than meets the eye.
The setting with a heavily locked door and a chilling discovery of a dead body adds an eerie layer to the already suspenseful atmosphere. It's like stepping into a classic horror story, where every step forward brings a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
And as tempting as it may be to delve into that classified folder, David might want to think twice with such ominous signs surrounding it. Who knows what secrets lie within, waiting to be uncovered?
It's almost like we're wandering through a technological haunted house, where the ghosts of outdated technology and hidden secrets make for a thrilling experience.
Your reviews always warm my heart - thank you! And thanks a lot for playing this. Appreciate the enthusiasm and energy put into your videos! Best to you!

good game jumpscares did get me
I didn't expect you to get jump scares, especially with that body bag lol. Thanks for playing! Appreciate the support Ian! Best to you!
I still think there is another super secret ending! Like, what was with that thing next to the coffee machine?
Lol, that was the corpse bag ahaha! There was a little Easter Egg for those, who love to mess around with my game and you know, test the "boundaries", so otherwise, nothing special. Also, you can turn on the single handle sink lol.

Aha, I get it now. If I'm being honest, the whole "alien is telepathic" thing didn't even cross my mind at all. lol
I enjoyed the game very much, I did all 3 endings to it.
Hope to see more from you :)
Thanks for playing, once again! Wish all the best man ✨
LET THE BODIES HIT THE FLOOR!!
Now that song is stuck in my head lol! Thanks for playing! Best to you ✨

God is so generous to me that He didn't even spare His own Son. If I'm generous it's only because of Him. BTW can't wait to try another one of your games! you rock!! 👍

Hey man good game. At first I thought you didn't make this game scary until I saw that I got ending 2 and it said I made it out "safe and unharmed" so I'm going to have to go back and figure out how to get the other endings. And again Great game friend.
