Mason
A downloadable Mason for Windows
Are you the killer or are you an innocent person? Play and find out.
Mason is a hyper short, story driven interactive fiction. It is a linier experience with the atmosphere and dialogue. Towards the end, little bit of walking. Enjoy the game.
Please, write down comments, criticisms and suggestion for the game. This is just a prototype, not a fully made game. Thanks for support and time.
SPECIAL THANKS TO TIFFANY GILLEY - inspired the game with the name.

This was a simple, but very effective way to tell a story! I loved it as you'll see in my gameplay:
One of my viewers recommended I check your games out Niven Hedinger and I'm glad I did! I had a lot of fun with this one. Thank You for this experience!Thanks a bunch for playing! Appreciate the nice comments, the support and the video, yeah! Glad that you liked this silly game lol. Best to you!
I appreciate the amount of time you have put into creating so many games. I'm looking forward to playing more of them! Thank you!!
Cool and unique concept for a game, I just wish it wasn't so short. I liked the perspective we play as, especially since Mason 100% did it. Good job.
Here's my gameplay of it. It starts at 0:37
Mason did it, yeap lol!
Huge thanks for playing, once again, for being so generous with your time and commenting on the game's page, deeply appreciate that. Hope to see more from you! Best of luck with the channel AJ β¨
Great little narrative!
He was guilty thou, maybe π€
Lol, thanks for posting this. Much appreciated man!
Here you go, I said I'd play some more of your games and here we are. ;)
Thank you so much man! It means a lot to me when someone, who has played my older games continues to support and just keeps being awesome. Thanks a lot!
mason definitely did it
I totally agree. Thanks for playing!
Thanks a bunch, once again for playing my game. Wish all the best to you, your channel. This was awesome. Cheers!
So much for that alibi, poor girl.
Nice little creepy game. I also liked how the officer said a word "sus" :D
Lol, he meant to say suspicious, but was interrupted by the partner officer, Somehow people thought it was Among Us reference - I went with that idea too π
Huge thanks again for playing. All the best mate!
Another great playthrough experience. Loved the twist at the end. A+
Thanks a bunch for playing. I'm glad you liked the game this much. Wish all the best! Cheers!

Heres my walkthrough
Thanks for playing. Great video β
Thanks for playing my game and leaving a positive feedback. Best to you!
Bro, I tried so hard to be innocent.. fun game!
Played this as the final game of a 3 Scary Games video, very short game, wasn't thinking much of it at first. But it was entertaining, and interesting. It was an accident, all of it was an accident, I swear.. (time stamps in video description!)
Thanks a lot for playing my game. The commentary was exceptional π
Very short game, but it didn't need to be longer because it was impactful as is ^-^
Huge thanks for your video! I am always happy to see you playing my games and giving the most entertaining commentary. Cheers β
Twisted ending
Thanks for playing π
Yet another great game, didn't know you had so many! I will DEFINATELY be playing more. Looking forward to seeing even more games as well, and will try to post them ALL on my channel! :D
You are very kind with the feedback and I am really glad you enjoyed the smaller, newer projects of mine. Great commentary and great channel π
Thanks for the thanks, looking forward to playing shunned today!

Thanks for the comment. The project is in early development. It will definitely have more lore and character development in the future. π

Amazing commentary and engaging playthrough - huge thanks for this man π
i tried copper cube 6 1 time but it was really hard i wonder how you made this.Anyway Loved the textures of the game
0:00 - 2:18
Thanks for playing my game. I truly appreciate your feedback. Making games with Copper Cube 6 is fun. Great video π
Thanks for playing my game. I truly appreciate your feedback. Best to you π
Thanks for playing my game.
Don't worry, some people are spamming in my comments and trying to spread toxic ideas about me and mock my games. It is fine. Thanks again for support and feedback π
Of course! Sorry about that.
Hi! I noticed youβd commented on my video. I usually clarify what I liked about the game and what I didnβt to maybe help you in the future but everything is just my opinion so do with it as you please! I would of liked if you had some voice overs seeing that the small game had a lot of dialogue and that it isnβt a visual novel. Also I thought the ending was funny and I enjoyed it. I just donβt like how 90 percent of the game was reading. Cause it didnβt feel much like a game but maybe thatβs what you were going for?
Once again, thanks for playing. Voice over could have been a good idea, yes, but the project was short, it is just that.
Sorry, but the game is listed as an interactive fiction - software simulating environments in which players use text to stimulate and influence the environments and sometimes control characters, works in this form can be understood as literary narratives, in the form of interactive narrations. I truly apologize if the game was not what you thought it would be. I will improve on next games. Sorry.
Edit: Again, sorry if this was a bad experience. Good day.
Thanks for playing π
ππππ
Thanks for the very detailed and profound feedback π
I truly loved the playthrough, especially the voice-over you did and all I can say is, I will definitely try to make a sequel for it. Cheers man π»
I dont know if i missed something or if its really just that short either way i get to bonk someone so im fine
The game is not "that short", but it is short. If you skip the dialogue and if you are not invested in the game, I guess all the games can be "that short" - just saying this based on your playthrough, which was just opening and closing the game. But, well, not everyone has the same experience. Good day π
A short and sweet experience! Great job! Had me fooled!
Huge thanks for playing this man! Glad to see you enjoying yet another one. Cheers β
You are very welcome! Every game is just a hit!
Entertaining game. Not sure if Mason should still be detained if there are no charges pressed and alibi checked out. The ending was unexpected, sort of, didn't know pressing interact would do that. As far as critique (I'm really easy) I'd say it's not intuitive to hop over the fence to do...that. Thanks for creating haha...
Thanks for playing.
When you are a primary suspect and have the right to an attorney, unless you say yes, you are detained without 36 and up to 96 hours, because it is a first degree murder, even you have an alibi, which contradicts the finger prints. It does happen, sometimes.
As for the "hop over the fence" - there was supposed to be a wall there and every playthrough shows the person going towards the opening. You just simple went the wrong way, for no reason at you got a bug. It is not supposed to be played like that, but well, each player has a different experience. Next time, look at the "clear" opening, which the game provides you with. Thanks π
Thanks, I do know without an attorney cops can do quite a bit within the lines. You're correct that it's not black/white.
And, I usually play games off-key, it's just my personality. Even when you say "use the clear opening" I probably still won't find it, lol.
Deeply appreciate the feedback. It was great. Best to you π
I would say it's a promising prototype. The dialogue was written very well, apart from the "That's sus" :D, that kind of took me out of it. I think the first scene could use some more ambient texture apart from the light buzzing, just to make the space even more believable.
But apart from that I enjoyed it. Reminds me of the pulp fiction genre, just stories that get straight to the point and deliver what they promised. I would definitely play a longer version of this!
Thanks Mike. Always great to see your review.
Well, most people did not understand the gesture, but I guess, nowadays you should make everything direct, because, no offence, people are having hard trouble understanding things. When you are reading, "That's sus...- you click and the sound comes up, meaning that the officer was interrupted - he even says that in the next dialogue. He did not say "sus", he was supposed to say "suspicious" and was cut out.
As for the ambient textures, I did not quite understand what you were saying about it. Maybe you meant ambient "noise"? Because then you are correct, the game does need some ambient sounds.
Mason's character will definitely return, yes.
Oh yeah that makes a lot more sense now. I guess the way you cut out "suspicious" made me think of the meme first thing, rather than him being cut off by the intercom. Honestly I think if you want to avoid that then the best solution would be to do "suspi-" or something, instead of sus. Cause I think for most players the meme is still the first thing that comes to mind. And yes I meant ambient sounds. Looking forward to what Mason will come up with :D
The age old question: To Horny Bonk? Or to Bonk the Horny?
Super grateful for the awesome playthrough. Cheers β
Very interesting and well written short game. Keep up the great work!
Glad you enjoyed the game. Loved your feedback about the dialogue and thanks for the suggestion too. Cheers π
Nice little game! I kind of wish there was something more to do in the game, but it worked well for what was there and was a change of pace compared to your normal work. Good job and I hope you keep on creating!
Thanks a lot, again π I can't express how grateful I am with just words. Best to you man.
It's a nice short game and I liked the banter between the cop and Mason as well. I kinda wish we saw the situations that led up to Mason's current situation. But other then that, nice game.
Here's my channel for other games I have played. https://www.youtube.com/c/Levont
Thanks for playing man. I will definitely look into extending the game or maybe making a sequel to it. Cheers β
Thanks Don! Loved your playthrough. Truly appreciate the attention to details. I will definitely make a longer sequel π»
The video was fun to watch! Just fun! fun! Thanks guys β
Great game. Only criticism is that its too short. I think you nailed this very well. You peaked my interest from the beginning with a great story. The atmosphere was maintained the entire time I played.
Warning spoiler below.
I tough the ending was quite cool. We were at the pub 10 hours ago, but 11 hours ago we killed our ex Or did we, I am thinking maybe it was us holding the bat, maybe we just got to control the killer.
Is there another ending in which we can get on our bike and ride way leaving her untouched by us? Maybe we could drop the bat or something only for a killer to come get it.
Thanks for making the game, thought was short I really enjoyed it and have been thinking the possibilities of who the murderer could be if its not us.
I look forward to seeing more games from you.
Wow! Thank you so much. Usually people give me feedback, but this is just pure motivation and praise. You are very, very kind π Super appreciate the feedback and your thoughts on the game.
The game was short, due to me working on multiple projects and publishing them nearly at the same time. There were couple of ideas I was going to execute with the game, yet, the simple "who done it" story was enough, I think. Mason's character is interesting and I will sure make a sequel or even a prequel to this. Will see.
Once again, glad you enjoyed the game and hope to see you around my next projects. Cheers! π
Thanks for responding. I will keep a close eye for any new releases form you.
