This is probably my favorite game of yours projects! =)
I love this atmosphere of emptiness, loneliness, empty city, etc. There is a bit of liminal vibes in the game like games about liminal spaces. I really enjoyed exploring the world of the game. And the ending was unexpected: a person is more dangerous than a zombie =)
An awesome game! =)
A thousand thanks for checking out this game, I deeply appreciate that. The game really took me a while to make, the design of the city was very difficult, but yeah, it was worth it. Wish all the best to you mate!
Thanks a lot for playing and considering my game with other spooky games. Glad that you liked it overall. Best to you!

Thanks a bunch for playing! Appreciate the showcase on your channel. Wish all the best to you.
I enjoyed the environmental story telling in this one and really enjoyed the atmosphere! I do wish there was more though, as I felt that this one didn't stand out as much as your usual games. You still make great games and I'm always looking forward to the next one!
A thousand thanks for playing! I appreciate your time and I am glad you liked the game, at least overall it was fun. There are some things I wished to change during the development, but maybe if there is a part 2 to this, I definitely will. Best to you as always friend ✨

Hey Niven congrats for getting featured on Itch. You've really established yourself as the most able horror game developer on this platform! Awesome work as usual.
The legend in the flesh - thank you so much friend!
Sorry for the late response, I've been a bit busy with stuff. I didn't realize the game was featured, I guess it is all due to the amazing people like you, who continue supporting my lazy games lol. Best to you as usual and hope to see more games from you!
I finally got around to making a solo video of the game. I don't know if my playthrough was typical but I loved the atmosphere and style. Thanks again!
The playthrough was awesome!
Thanks for playing, supporting and appreciating my work. I am glad you liked this and I am very happy with your positive feedback. Hope to bring more spooks next time. Cheers!
Many thanks for playing my game. I am glad that you liked the story. Best to you! I left a like on the video, you are great ✨
Thanks a bunch for playing! Glad that you liked it friend. Best to you as always! Cheers ✨
Took me a minute to FINALLY play this game but enjoyed the rest of your games so I had to give this a shot. Didn't expect the ending tho.
A thousand thanks for playing. I am glad that you gave the game a chance, even if it wasn't good. Thank you for your support and hope to make a better one next time. Best to you 🔥
BUT OF COURSE! I really enjoy your games, so I'm gonna try to at least give em a shot! Keep up the hard work and thank you for supporting my channel by watching my gameplay!
Really liked the game! I loved the post apocalyptic vibes to the game as well as the danger posed by the creatures. The time passing and having to hide was a cool little story and worldbuilding into the game as well!
The cannibal thing came out of nowhere and the previous resident of the place pinned up to the wall was a cool scare, but also led to nothing. These could have been done in better ways for the story.Overall though, it was a fun and short experience and can't wait to see more as you do in the future! Good luck and good job!
Huge thanks for the in depth review and positive feedback. The story might have been a bit underdeveloped, but overall, I am glad that you liked it. Best to you and your channel, as always ✨

Huge thanks for sharing the gameplay and supporting me on this level. Wish the best to you!
Nice game, got some fallout vibes, loved it :)
That's a huge compliment friend! Wish I could make games like Fallout, maybe one day lol. Thanks for playing, as always and thank you for being so great. Best to you 🔥
Realmente um jogo interessante.
Embora o jogo pareça simples, parece muito com os gráficos de um jogo de PS1 (não sei se foi só eu que achei), isso me fez gostar mais do jogo.
Thanks for playing. The game has the PSX/PS1 style, yes, you guessed it correctly. Appreciate the feedback and wish all the best to you!
Well that was a sad ending, really made me hate that stranger guy haha
Another interesting game, the worldbuilding in your games is very good, I notice myself being immersed in the games very fast. The day part was interesting to explore and the night part was creepy, interesting change and I liked the story!
Also this guy kinda jumpscared me haha
Your are very generous with your compliments, thank you. Thanks for the feedback and trying out the new releases. Some of this stuff did came from the OG TV-Shows and games, such as "The Last Of Us" and "The Walking Dead", but there is a bit of my own in the game as well. Thanks again for playing. I was counting on the hanging zombie to scare the players and make them uncomfortable.
Nice short game looking forward to play more of your games
Thank you, thank you so very much Polaros! Your videos are always chill to watch. Best to you friend 🔥
Passerby! A really short and enjoyable horror story, I am a sucker for anything post apocalyptic.
Story I was interested in and enjoyed the setting, had fun exploring the little town, dancing with zombies and knowing the guy I helped was sus af
I turned out to have a real can'table attitude
Good job Niven!
Huge thanks for playing man, once again with a stellar gameplay! Wish all the best 🔥🍻
acabo de empezar y ya me he atascado buscando la llave :(
Socorro!
Hello! Sorry for the late response.
The key is in located in the "Gas Station" building. It is easy to find if you look around and it opens the main building with a door. Hope it helps.
gracias!! Vamos allá! 😊
REALLY ENJOYED THE GAME!!
Huge thanks for playing! The video was great. Wish all the best to you man ✨
Thanks a bunch for playing! I am glad you enjoyed the game. Wish all the best to you friend 🔥
Huge thanks for playing man, once again! Your comments are super nice and the video was awesome. Wish all the best ✨
Really good! And it has buff zombies!
They were working out I guess lol! Thanks a bunch for playing. Great video! Cheers 🔥
This was a fun game! Was not expecting that ending!
Huge thanks for playing! I deeply appreciate the feedback. Best to you ✨
Thanks a bunch for playing and thank you for being so nice, supportive and positive. I deeply appreciate the feedback. Best to you!
GOT MEAT?
The group definitely got some meat lol!
Thanks for playing! Appreciate the showcase and feedback. Best to you!
those savages! lol
thank you!
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 🙌✨🔥
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!
ye i did lmao
good games fr best to you too
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!
your playthrough seems very structured and has a great pace.
very enjoyable
almost soothing and terrifying at the same time
Mayne this reminds me of a show called FROM on HBOMAX THIS GAME ITS FIREEEE!!!!
Huge thanks for playing man and thanks for the compliment. I know that TV-Show, yeah, it is creepy. Appreciate the feedback. Best to you!

Thank you so much! I watched the reel, it was awesome, love the dark tone music and muted colors. Thank you!
The ending had me messed up man I was like why 😭😂
Sorry lol! I liked what you said in the end about doing the kind thing, so true. Thanks again and wish all the best to you and your channel!
