Thanks a lot for playing. The project is currently finished, as it was more of a short confined story, but might work on the continuation or maybe even revisit it for sure. Thanks again!
Thanks a lot for playing! Your support means a lot. I am a solo developer, but the assets and tools that are use are made by exceptional people, so, they are the same part of every single project as I am. Best to you!
Glad to hear you liked the game this much. Yeah, the game engine I use is very "performance" friendly, basically any game is compatible with any PC, well there might be some exceptions, but yeah. Thanks for playing!
Glad I came across this one! Was looking for something to throw on the channel and I'm glad this one caught my eye! Hope to see more with some more in depth story from this creator in the future!
Once again, thanks for playing! Really appreciate the feedback. If you are looking for a little more depth, I would recommend "Incoherence", which is a darker game in the sense of the story. Best to you man!
You have been playing my games for such a long time that I don't even know if thanking you is enough, I know its not but still - really appreciate your support friend. Best to you and your channel 🙌✨💕
Nice short little game! Very fun and loved the twist! here is my gameplay if anyone would like to watch! now the real question.. Would YOU help this man? I sure wouldn't. lol
Nice game. I liked the little notes around, specifically how short they were. A lot of games have pages and pages of notes, short and sweet is perfect. I would say the zombies could use an upgrade. they tend to just hang out xD
Your playthrough was awesome! You are actually the first person, who noticed the detail with the shadows and I can not be more embarrassed by it, but like I said in your comments - it was cut short because of the game's performance, so yeah. Thanks again and best to you 🍻
Lol, yeah, that part might be a bit silly, but nevertheless, thanks a lot for playing my game. I deeply appreciate the feedback and support. Best to you!
damn i hate this suckers... but think this fake hacker for trojan ...i have write long time itch big problem for fake game for trojan and scum ..this big problem
Thank you so much for caring and notifying me. I saw the page and reported it. Hope itch.io stuff takes it down. It is really unfortunate, people do that a lot.
Your content is banger ❤ I loved how you started to reflect on the choices of - I should not help this dude and let them be there, because truth be told, that would have been a better choice lol - but there is not choice, because it is my game, I choose lmao - just kidding...or am I 💀 Per usual, thousand thanks and best to you man
Niven, this was really fun to stream! And glad to have you seen you enjoy it! I liked the plot, the atmosphere and the retro feel. It felt a little TWD & Silent hill. It had a creepy vibe to it too! Your game is at: 2:09:28
Huge thanks for playing the game during your stream - I was there live watching and it was super fun. Appreciate your supporting by posting this here as well. All the best to you Hattie ✨✨✨
Had a lot of fun with this one! Definitely a bit more reading than I was expecting, but that’s not a complaint! I think a couple more jumpscares and a bit more atmospheric music for ambience would do wonders. Great job overall, keep up the great work! 😊
If you’d like to check out my play-through, please use the link below 👇
Once again, interesting game for sure. I feel like this game would have benefited from having 2 endings with the second ending being you joining. But besides that, nice job.
Levont ✨✨✨The legend! Thank you so much for playing! Glad that you liked the game overall. Yeah, second ending or DLC might be good lol. Best to you and your channel!
Huge thanks for playing! Appreciate your interest in game, a lot. The AI is a bit difficult to navigate with this game engine, but I will try my best to make it work in the future, for sure. Cheers!
I always get excited to see another game by Niven Hedinger! Always delivers great short horror games! I loved the environment. The slight openness felt SO good. The lighting at night was great! I do wish the creatures were a little more intense as I found myself just walking around. But honestly a fantastic world you have here! Keep up the great work!
What an awesome video! Thank you so much for playing once again. I do hope to improve upon the AI, it is very, very tricky. Glad that you liked the game overall. Best to you!
Thanks a lot for playing! Glad that you liked the choice of art style, it is very convenient for the game engine I work with, so I always make games in that style. Best to you Gazuku ✨✨
I did like the environment and the mystery about the monsters and what has caused this post-apocalyptic world. I was hoping to see more with the monsters, which I hope you expand on this world, as it has caught my attention. Good job!
Many thanks for playing my game. I deeply appreciate your input in the video about the game's overall lore and idea. It can be expanded for sure. Anyways, thanks once again. Best to you!
Niven Hedinger's short horror game "Passerby" turns out to be a gripping experience, where the DEV weaves together elements of horror, survival, and exploration into a compact yet intense narrative. The premise of navigating an abandoned town as the protagonist Nathan, a lone traveler, throws the unsuspected player into a sense of immediate isolation and vulnerability, setting the stage for a suspenseful journey.
The usual attention to detail in Niven's game design, from atmospheric soundscapes to post-apocalyptic visuals and creepy sounds, enhances the immersive nature of "Passerby."
On a side note, it's intriguing that there's only one ending, suggesting a linear but impactful story progression that kept this player engaged from start to finish. Without a beat, this is the perfect bite-sized horror adventure for fans of the genre.
Well done, Niven!
I didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to either you or all involved, and thanks for making this very enjoyable game!
Stellar review! I would say the best one yet! Really love the way you twist those words and make a positive input on my work - thank you! Truly appreciate your feedback. All the best to you and your channel!
game is very good ! , but i can't get past the "press tab to get up from bed" , because when i get up and make a few steps , the game reverts back to the bed.... very wierd... am i the only one ?!
I am so sorry to hear that. I downloaded the game and also checked the file. Are you sure it reverts back to the bed? There is a code for restarting the scene, if you press R KEY, so maybe you are accidently pressing R and it restarts the game?
mhh no im pretty sure i'm not hitting R key , but gonna try again . the problem to me happened with the old build , and i thought that with the new build it might be gone but nope :( . Also , when i get up the bed , i tried to immediately run to the balcony and jump down and go to the poor fella , but nope game reverts back to bed....
Once again, I am really sorry. I have checked everything in that single scene and all works fine. Also, I do watch every video posted on the page and as I saw the older version as well as the new version didn't have that specific issue. I will continue testing it on a different PC, meanwhile maybe you can try to download it from another browser? Can't help with much also unfortunately.
I know right? The main character was clueless lol. But, for the story's sake, the point was to showcase that the real monsters were actually human, not infected. Best to you and your channel friend ✌
