I started working on this project a while back. I didn't know what to do with the story
and decided to leave it. But, some people encouraged me to continue working and
this is the end result. I deeply appreciate everyone, who supports me and who
shows interest in my short games. Don't hesitate to leave a comment, review, gameplay and thanks once again.

This was a fun little experience, you've created a really effective atmosphere in such a short time. There's something strangely satisfying in the repetition of transferring the data, yet how long it takes for each disc to complete added a lot of tension. I enjoyed getting each ending and just overall really enjoyed it. Glad I gave this game a go.
And I will admit that first jumpscare did get me, well played.
Gostei bastante do jogo. Não estava à espera do que aconteceu. Parabéns!
Thank you a lot for playing and showcasing my game friend! I am glad that you liked it. Best to you and your channel!
8bit Ryan coppied my video Idea!
Lol, probably!
Huge thanks for posting the video in the comments and thanks a lot for playing, supporting and liking my game. Best to you friend!
As always an amazing game from Niven. I loved the game it does floppy did take forever for the data but I still loved the game. I'll never work for area 51 thanks to this game. Great Job Niven as usual great game.
Many times thanks for posting your video here and supporting me as best as you can friend! I deeply appreciate that. Cheers 🍻

Got all 3 endings :D Great game! :D
Huge thanks for posting your video here! It really means a lot. Wish the best to you and your channel!
Forth and final in the line up. Niven, the waiting really makes the game. You get that urge to do something. Anything. And the multiple endings are fun. A great solid chunk of micro horror. It's really fun to see a micro build around multiple endings. Great work.
Huge thanks for playing and being so supportive. I deeply appreciate the feedback. Wish all the best to you and your channel friend!
Thanks Niven. Sorry I took so long to get around to it. But at the same time gotta spread the notice around a bit.
Much appreciated! Thanks a lot for playing! Best to you and your channel Mark 🎉

Huge thanks for playing! Appreciate the feedback and I am glad you liked this. Best to you! Sorry for the late response.

Super cool game. I loved the whole atmosphere that was built up
Thank you for playing! I am glad you liked this, appreciate the nice comment and the showcase on your channel. Cheers ✨
THIS is the kinda stuff I love about your games. And 3 endings?? You bet I'm getting them all! Also, did not need that jumpscare to scare me so much!
I think with that jump scare you learned a valuable lesson - don't talk bad stuff about Passerby lmao! Dude, I love your videos. Thank you so much for playing as always and I do hope my next project will hit a home run. Best to you!
LMAO that jump scare was FOR SURE revenge, I could feel it haha! So glad you enjoy my videos, I'm freaking loving the games. Gonna try to play each one when they drop! Keep up the hard work man!
This was an interesting game in a good way, I really liked it! Greetings from Finland!
Thanks for playing, once again! Wish all the best 🔥
It got me a couple times lol Love your games!
Love your videos as well! Thank you. I am super glad you liked this one. Hope to get better next time with other projects. Best to you!
Had fun with this one! Highly recommend! Check out the new video
The video was an absolute blast! Thank you for considering my game in your 3 Random Horror Games playthrough. It was fun to watch. Best to you friend!
Big fan of ur games, and this one is great as others!
Thank you so much! That makes me really happy. I am very proud of the game and that it was decent enough I guess. Appreciate the feedback and comments. Cheers!
Interesting game, loved it!
Huge thanks for playing ✨✨Super glad that you liked this. Appreciate the support. Best to you!
Wow! I didn't realize you played other games too, maybe I commented on them and forgot, really sorry. Thanks again for playing and yeah, glad that you liked this. Cheers!
No worries! Let me know if there's any other way I could support you! You're making great stuff!
Here I am again! Back with another game by Niven! Was excited to see this one and glad to see more from the creator. Had a few solid spooks in there and overall an enjoyable experience! I saw someone saw something about an Alien Mortuary Assistant game and I am all for it! Keep up the awesome work!
Whoever told you about the Alien Mortuary Assistant, definitely did a great marketing for my game, wow, its a huge compliment. Thanks for playing dude, really liked the commentary, solid as always and yeah, I'm glad you had fun with it. Best to you ✌
We got to have an Alien Mortuary Assistant game, would be so fun! Also, was not expecting the jump scare that was gotten, was well done! Loved the SCP vibes to the game!
I wish someone with more experience to make that game, for sure lol. Thanks a lot, once again for playing. Best to you!
I'm glad you liked the game. Thanks for playing. Hope to make a better game next time, with more spooks lol. Cheers ✌
Can't Wait 😁
Great game, Niven!
I achieved all the endings, and I found it to be a rather peculiar yet interesting game. I didn't experience the chair jumpscare fully because I was standing (and I guess the jumpscare was intended for the player to be seated, hence the message next to it saying to sit down and not do everything standing, lol).
I also tried another one of your games, Passerby, and I really liked it. I think you have a lot of potential to keep improving more and more with each of your games, as you handle the story and atmosphere very well (Incoherence is another good example).
Keep it up!
Siempre hay alguien mirando mientras otro curra.... XD
Someone always watched yeah lol, scary!
Thanks a lot for playing. Best to you ✨
😂😂😂
Another fun experience, great job Niven! Tense but interesting, short enough to easily replay, and a little bit of humor thrown in too. Glad to see you're continuing to expand what you're trying to make. Keep it up, you've given me a huge backlog to try out!

Super stocked to see your comment! Thanks for playing, once again. I deeply appreciate your support. Best to you as always! Hope to deliver some spooks next time lol
Good game that spooked me a bit. Was a little lost with the task but that's because I didn't read. Wouldn't mind a little more lore in regards to what data we were transferring. Would definitely play more by you :) (First game in the video)
Thanks a lot for playing! Appreciate the feedback. Well, the data probably contained some intel on the Aliens lol, so that was it. The video was great. Wish all the best!
Not that bad, but can see that is unfinished. Seems like there were plans for the door that was locked behind some chains. Maybe even a puzzle for the password. Still a fun short game. =)
You are 100% correct. Thank you for liking the game, playing and giving your honest feedback, means a lot. Wish the best to you and your channel! Cheers 🔥
