Not just a video, but a masterpiece!

I ran for my life
Big thanks for playing and trying the game out friend! I really appreciate the comments. Cheers!
What a great comment! Big thanks for playing and supporting my game friend. Sadly, this went down to sewers, no pun intended, really quick and even thou I worked on the game super hard, it got nowhere with the view and downloads. Hopefully, the next game will be better.
All the best to you ✨
Once again a fantastic game, visuals were just the style I like, loved the "adversary" and the premise was very interesting too! I do have to say that I feel like the chase sequence could be a little shorter, but that's a minor "complaint". Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Many thanks for playing mate! Loved your video and your commentary, always happy to see your content. I do agree with you, about the sewers sequence and I will note that in the future.
Best to you!
Great game! I loved the critter, very interesting design tbh
The ending was "piercing" LOL
Thanks a bunch for playing the game friend! I deeply appreciate the feedback. Well, it was "piercing" indeed, haha. Best to you!
Another great game! I actually loved how much more goofy thus one felt. The scares got me too! Nice mix of humor and horror! Great work!
Massive thanks for playing and having fun with this! I deeply appreciate the feedback and I am glad you liked this. All the best to you!
I made a shorts out of my gameplay! Thought I would share here!
Lovely! I am really glad you liked the game this much. Hope the short goes viral ✨
My deepest apologies that
it took me longer than usual to
get this one up. That aside, excellent work as usual,always excited for a new release from you, keep that good shit coming!
No need to apologize, please! Your immense support and feedback means the world to me. Love your content and thanks big time for being awesome. Cheers!
Only thing I'd suggest is maybe add something to the walls of the sewers because I thought I was in an infinite loop. A little something on the walls or in the water here and there would be great to know I'm making progress.
Thanks a bunch for playing and supporting my game man! I really appreciate that. I will definitely consider your feedback in the future. Best to you!
SPARE!
Another great game by Niven (Apish Box Games)
Game took a turn I was not expecting and was silly, loved it!
Quick idea, dude stops to get snacks, get wrapped up in an urban legend and now has to escape.
Game ran smoothly, combat was easy and not complicated, the entity was hilarious and fun, got me with with a few jumpscares.
Overall, a good time!
Great Job Niven!
As always, looking forward to your next game!
Biggest thanks for playing man! Your comment means so much to me and the support you give is tremendous. Appreciate the feedback and wish all the best to your banger channel!
You would be my favorite Alan Wake cosplay, ever!
Here is my gameplay!
I really had fun, I had a laugh & I got scared. Keep up the good work Niven.
The sewer bit was something else, as I couldn't sprint and even if I turned around he was already behind me.
Here is my video!
Thanks so many times for playing, supporting and sharing my game, I deeply appreciate that Hattie! Your feedback and commentary was superb. Best to you ✨
I hate when Trash Bin trying to kill me💀
Wonderful game.
Bunch of thanks for playing and supporting my work. Indeed, the Trash Bins are scary lol. Best to you!
Nice game! Looking forward to your next project.
Thanks a lot for playing and making a fun video Mama Fraha. I always enjoy your content. Wish you all the best!
This great game and interesting storyline
Big thanks for playing and supporting my game. I appreciate the feedback and the showcase of my game. All the best mate ✨
I somehow missed the 'corny slasher' part of the description, so it was quite funny to experience this blind and realize how funny a literal trash man chasing me was.
The jumpscares were a bit annoying, but other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this game!
Thanks for checking out my game! I am glad this gave you a laugh. Appreciate the feedback. Cheers ✌
Keep up the work
Many thanks for playing! I will try lol, thank you. Wish all the best!
Loved the game, has a little Condemned (Criminal Origins) vibe :)
A lot of thanks for playing and giving me such a great compliment, comparing this to "Criminal Origins" is like super high praise, thanks 💖💖💖
All the best to yo Sabrina!
As always - stunning, gorgeous, brilliant! You've saved my week, during which I've played some disgusting games! Thank you for your hard work!
Tons of thanks for playing, reviewing and supporting my game Vikki. I am glad that the game was fun for you and hope to see more videos. Stay safe and wish the best of health ✨
Monumental thanks for playing and supporting my game, I deeply appreciate the feedback and such amazing feedback. All the best to you!
W game
W video!
Big thanks for playing and making a great video man. Best to you ✨
good game, seeing the monster gave me a
/editMany thanks for playing and having fun with my game, I really appreciate the hilarious commentary and your support means a lot to me. Best to you!
Went into this blind and I must say, this was really more on the funny side rather than the horror side, if that makes any sense. Loved how silly it was though, specially loved that you let us hit the crap out of the ''monster'' (even if there were consequences in the end). The last jumpscare definitely got me though so good on ya. Overall, very fun experience with a bit of spookiness sprinkled on top. Also screw itch.io for flagging your account for no particular reason. Keep up the good work bro!
Thanks a ton for playing, being awesome content creator and just making my day better with this contribution. Wish all the best to you Yeena, I promise to make more games and less funny (you know, ones that would make you question the horrors that you have experienced, lol).
Best to you!
Thanks for playing my game Leonardo. I appreciate the video. Best to you and your channel.
Great work! Short, simple, fun and spooky, another excellent Apish Game. Glad to see you're back at it!
Monumental thanks for playing, supporting and being so generous with my game. I deeply appreciate all that you do and the way you give awesome feedback. Best to you man, all the best ✨
Great game!
5/5
Thanks a lot for playing and supporting my game. I'm glad you liked this. Best to you!
Niven's games are always amazing and this one didn't disappoint! If you get a message that says it's flagged when trying to download don't worry it's safe!
Big thanks for reposting and supporting me man! I don't know what is wrong with the website, but your comment really made my day and believe that people truly support each other. Best to you!
CIAOOO NIVEN ..HERE BIG SAGA TRASH MAN WAIT FOR SPARE 2 LOL
Tons of thanks for playing! I appreciate your time and support Queen. Maybe Spare 2 can work and be made, sure.
Best to you ✨
yeah....please trash man kill me .... kill me in room make review game ahhahahaahahha
What a solid game this was! Definitely a unique premise used with the trashcan man for sure, did not expect that going into this. Story was also top notch and graphics were 👌. Made a video on it.
(This is a repost from a previous version of this game page.)Huge thanks for supporting my game and posting here once again. Sadly, due to some issues I was forced to reupload the game and now this is it. Best to you my friend!
Why it shows as virus!?
Hi friend.
Well, sadly due to the website update, occurrences like this became very frequent. The website has automated system (I assume), which flags games no matter what. Sadly, my game was flagged under the same system and I have no reason why. I've been posting games here since 2019, thousands of downloads and millions of views, but I can't help with this. I contacted the support and they are not helping at all.
I hope it gets resolve in the upcoming days, meanwhile I would just suggest saving the game for download later. That's all mate.
FYI, tons of games are getting flagged everyday for no particular reason, even the ones, which are on popular page and they already have hundreds of downloads and comments.
Another great game from you, Mr. Niven. Wait... Yesterday's of this comments section should have had a lot of comments. But why did most of the comments are now disappearing?
Many thanks for playing and supporting my work, it means so much to me.
I made an update comment about the game being flagged as "potential threat", which makes no sense to me. Contacted the support and I hope it gets resolved. I deleted the page and re-uploaded the game, because I thought it would fix the issue, it didn't.
I made replies to all the comments that were posted and thanked all the creators individually, like I always do.
Thanks for playing, once again.
Gladly, Mr Niven
Well crafted masterpiece, as usual, from the dark and gritty streets, sewers that kept me constantly looking forwards and backwards, to the short lived coziness of our apartment, this game is an 10/10 and I couldn't recommend it more!
Monumental thanks for playing! Deeply appreciate the feedback and support Vuk. Best to you!
