Third in the line up. A fun little trip into the post apoc. Short but with very decent world building just enough  to make you curious. Solid work Niven.

Huge thanks for including my game in your list! It was an interesting watch. There is definitely a place to improve. Maybe I can add some things in the future or come back to this, definitely. Thanks again for playing! Cheers!

Its an interesting little slice of a fallen world. But I do have a soft spot for post apoc in general. And trash scavenging.

Nice little title here where i jokingly call it "The Last of Us DEMAKE" Keep up the good work!

I wish I could make something even 1% close to that game, but I am really touched by the compliment - thank you! I will definitely try to improve. Wish the best to you and your channel!

It's been a while since I've done one of these, BUT these games are not to be messed up, and getting a glass of water is a LOT more scary than you think!! (Passerby is the third game Niven lol ) Youtube Link -

Huge thanks for playing, as always! Wish all the best to you and your channel! Cheers 🙌✨🔥

Loved the game, very great like your other games

Keep doing what you do

Just realized that you played 2 games in a row lol. Thank you so much for this Mad Lad! Best to you!

I like playing your games lol  I love playing apocalyptic type games, but I felt like it was missing something.  Just my opinion anyway.  Would've liked maybe multiple endings?  or an option to fight?  I can't quite put my finger on it.  Wasn't a bad game at all though.  I sure as hell can't make one.  Keep it up!

Many thanks for playing my game. I deeply appreciate the support and feedback as well as a great review. Maybe I can add some more endings in the future, for sure. Best to you!

L ending

Thanks for playing. The ending was a bit rough, yes, but hope you enjoyed the game overall. Best to you! 

(+1)(-2)

I enjoyed this game it had a really good atmosphere. I could sorta see the ending from a mile away though. And it was a bit buggy when digging through the trash. Other than that it was a good game. 

Thanks for posting such a nice comment, I deeply appreciate your feedback and support. Glad that you liked the game overall. Best to you Call Me DNA 🙌✨

Huge thanks for playing, once again. Best to you friend!

ANOTHER BANGER ! I highly recommend all to give this game a try as well as follow the dev. This game doesn't disappoint. 

As a huge zombie fan, this was a dream come true. Now we need a sequel where we get to mow down the horde to get the backpack back from the cannibals. Awesome little game ! 

Here is my video if anyone is interested :)

I didn't find it super scary but it really was creepy and has an amazing tone and atmosphere. I love the style. I really can't wait to play more of your stuff.

Thanks a lot for playing my game. Appreciate the feedback. Good luck with your content man ✌

(+1)(-2)

You're welcome! I thank you, you too, I appreciate it! 

(+1)(-2)

I love the art style of this game. It is a simple and short game, but I like this kind of games. One thing is broken, I think. When zombie saw me, he doesn't chase me. He just stayed.

7/10

(-2)

Thanks for playing my game! Appreciate the feedback. Well, the infected monsters are not broken. They are not supposed to chase you, they are just there for the atmosphere and spooks. Anyways yeah, glad that you liked the game overall. Best to you! 

(+1)(-2)

there's no jumpscare but it still did scare me XD
your game is getting better and better

Hey Niven, once again great game, didn't expect the apocalypse I recieved, I was expecting post nuclear 😂 but other than that it was creepy and short, those are the best kind.  9/10.

Next time, I will make sure to make it more "toxic" ehehe. Thanks for playing, once again HauntedRaptor. Cheers! 
Edit: Those people were wasted even before the fallout if you ask me lol.

Someone was indeed lol. Thanks for playing ✨

This was a great little game! I enjoyed the story, and the open ended level very cool and fun! I wish there was more then one ending though I didn't deserve to die! I recommend completely! Here is my gameplay video, sub and help my channel grow!

Really enjoyed this game. Did a bit of exploring around the area.   Loved your project on Perfect Spot, now we have this amazing project. Well done! 

(-2)

Thanks for playing yet another game! I didn't realize "Perfect Spot" was such a show stealer I guess lol. Best to you! 

(+1)(-2)

Another cool game bud, but the clicking on the trash was a tiny bit tedious 

(-2)

Thanks for playing! Glad that you liked the game. I agree with the trash bit, it was experimental for the game. I will work more on something like that next time. Best to you! 

(+1)(-4)

Hey Niven! Cool game as usual. Tbh I would have loved some jumpscares, but still, the atmosphere was pretty good. Also, the end was kinda predictable but maybe that's because I've played too many indie horror games and somehow cannibalism happens to be the topic of al LOT of those games lmao. Waiting for more!!!

(-2)

Interesting observation. Rarely do I play games about cannibalism lol, maybe because I am too scared haha. Thanks for playing, once again. Great video! 

(-2)

hey thanks! I look forward to playing more of your awesome games!

(+1)(-2)

Good game!
