A really enjoyable short horror experience. Stillness does a great job creating a cold, tense atmosphere, and the snowy setting adds a lot to the feeling of isolation.
I liked the simple survival elements and the mystery surrounding the unknown presence beneath the snow. Despite being short, it’s a memorable little sci-fi horror game that’s definitely worth checking out.
Many thanks for play my game and supporting my work as you always do! I'm glad that you liked this. Best to you and hope to bring more spooks,,,very soon!
Big thanks for checking out my game Redwolf Studios! I've seen your work as well, the new project looked insanely good! Hope you keep making more games. Best to you mate!
Great game!! Smooth gameplay mechanics and a nice little story. I really dig that pixelated filter with the unsaturated colors. The enemies were quite tanky I must say, felt like I was shooting an uzi instead 🤭
I also recorded my gameplay of 'Mortise' but I have yet to edit the video out before publishing it 🫡
Very still, very snowy, so serene, but on a serious note, looked good, has those PSX graphics, idk, loved that snow and find the enemies pretty cool looking
Dismemberment (Difficulty):
Not difficult at all, walking sim with some action... I did not get murrrderrred during those time, took me a second to find where I needed to go after the crash but I feel that is just me being dumb, overwise, easy game play
Infestation (Bugs):
No bugs noticed besides the ones below deck
Corpse Integrity (Story):
You are sent on a mission and crash... now its more then a scouting task... story was cool, you are thrown into a situation that quickly escalates and give some story bits along the way, I enjoyed seeing where the progression was going
Something Off About It? (Ambience):
The snowy area was nice, I found it was... chill... but then you get to the bunker, gets more unsettling and paranoia since you are discovering what could be in those tunnels
How Long To Dismember (Playtime):
Maybe about 10-15 minutes if you are not being silliness and just playing through
Value Of Meat (Price):
Free! Free is always in the budget!
Post Mortem Thoughts:
First off, I always enjoy Niven's work, a dev I followed for a long time, definitely a dev when I see them craft something, I gotta check it out.
I enjoyed Stillness, its a short horror experience, easy to play, the snow area, idk, just found it beautiful, some action, interesting story, overall, had a good time playing. I could see more being added to it, longer story or a call back to game if wanted. A solid horror short game!
Monumental thanks for playing, supporting and showcasing my game, it really means a lot to me. All the best to you and hope to deliver more spooks, very soon.
This was so much fun! I think this captured the vibe of PS1 era games really well. Short, sweet, and with fun dialogue! Overall a REALLY solid psx indie game in my opinion. I had an absurd amount of fun.
Huge thanks for playing and making such a fun video Pawdeen! I really loved the edits and I'm glad you enjoyed this overall. All the best to you! Hope to bring another spooky story very soon. Cheers ⭐
As always, this is yet another short and sweet horror game by Niven that feels like a fun throwback to the PS1 era of gaming 😁 Honestly, I never really played a lot of horror games from that era, so these games have kind of filled that gap for me a bit. Anyways, as far as the game itself is concerned, it’s well made, looks great, and was a really fun way to burn 20ish minutes! (Also it was so nice to finally be given a way to defend myself in a horror game 😆 Keep up the great work! 👏

DO NOT OPEN THIS VAULT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ARCTIC CIRCLE… | Stillness
Massive thanks for playing and supporting my work! The feedback means a lot to me, I'm really stocked you liked this and yeah, the vault is now open, we don't know what will happen next. Best to you and your channel mate!
What a comment! I love, really love when game developers give share their thoughts and it means a lot to me, honestly. Thanks for playing and I hope to see your projects as well, very soon mate. Best to you!
This Is an interesting Game. I liked the concept. Love the Alien mix with military. Gave me Area 51 vibes. Good job on this on this game, keep up the great work.
Huge thanks for playing the game and showing some support, it really means a lot to me. I'm glad you liked the game overall. Hope to bring more spooks next time. Cheers!
What a nice comment! Thanks many times for playing my game and sharing your thoughts, it really means a lot. I hope to improve and bring something spooky next time. Cheers 🍻
The story was good, being sent on a scouting mission, crash landed in the freezing cold, and discovering the bunker was all interesting. I was left wondering if the government knew about the bunker and sent us to our doom. The atmosphere in this game was good. Being stuck in the cold 'stillness' of the mountains and walking in the tunnels were creepy.
Ending was also nice. Glad to see our friend made it out alive and save our hinny. Only complaints I have is the item hitbox. You kind of have to be in a specific spot to pick up a item. I thought I couldn't pick up the gun and was confuse on what to do next.
Overall great game, glad to see Niven making more indie horror games. I hope to whoever got this far in the post, to have a good day.
Massive thanks for playing, supporting and showcasing my game man! You rock! Your channel and your comments have been nothing but a blessing, honestly. Yes, I do realize now the "hitbox" collision didn't work properly, for some. I'll note that for the next game and maybe switch to the regular LMB hit. Best to you mate ⭐
This was a neat experience, the only complaint i have is that some of the interactables hitboxes are quite small namely the manhole, took me a while to get the prompt to appear. Other than that it was enjoyable.
Big thanks for playing and supporting my game friend! The suggestions and feedback will be noted, it's the best thing you can do for me. Appreciate the comments. Cheers!
Excelente la ambientación tanto la montaña como la sensación de desolación y la nieve cayéndose, se podía palpar el frío en la cara. Como una misión de rutina se puede complicar tanto en tan poco tiempo! Suceden sucesos que nos cambian la vida para siempre y tenemos una nueva anécdota para nuestros hijos! Excelente todo como siempre, muchas gracias por desarrollarlo, como siempre un placer!
Sorry it took me an extra week to get this up, but I was quite happy to see that you haven't left us, I was starting to wonder. This was quite good, though, very much enjoyed. Also, I apologize deeply that I completely missed the demo that you released before this for Mortise, that will be corrected for tomorrow's upload, of that I assure you.
No need to apologize for anything my dear friend. Enormous thanks for playing and supporting my work as you always do, every single time. I'm glad you liked this and I wish nothing but the best, all the subs, all the views and tons of cash in real life! Enjoy your content, always. Cheers man 🍻
Thanks a lot for playing the game, I really appreciate the feedback. The lack of sprinting in the game was due to the story - the helicopter crash was not fatal, but it did damage the main character's leg, well, in the final act you can see him limping because of it. But, for the other games, of course the sprinting will be an option. Cheers!
Yeah you're right I didn't even think about that and it makes total sense!
A sequel or expansion on this would be a nice touch to look further into the lore of the creatures because I was definitely wanting more. Keep up the great games and I look forward to more of your creations!
Hey! Been a while since I've played one of your games or even any horror games for that matter. Enjoyed this one quite a bit! You still have an atmosphere nailed down! The first alien I didn't expect to not die as slowly, so it actually kinda freaked me out. Great work my man!
Huge thanks for playing and supporting my work man! I really, really appreciate that. Glad that you liked this one. I hope to bring more spooks to the scenery, very soon. Cheers!
This was the first game I recorded in like 4 days due to being sick as heck. I like the mysterious vibe to it. The story is really good and I'm glad we got even more lore whenever you explored inside the bunker. I like the ending but for some reason I'm suspicious of our partner. Something in my gut is telling me that's not the same guy we came here with. Overall this is another banger of a game. I had fun especially since we got a gun lol. I really enjoyed this bro, Keep up the good work.
I hope you are doing well man, that's what matters the most! Sending positive vibes <333 Massive thanks for playing and supporting my work. Best to you and I hope to deliver more spooks your way, very soon. Cheers!
Another nice game overall. I always appreciate horror games that uses aliens as the main monster instead of general monsters (even though both has their merits). Keep it up.
Another great game! It took me a while at the start to realise I needed to press E on stuff, like that seat and stuff. I was expecting to find the other pilot actually dead, but na, he saved me and that ending was quite amusing.
Hello friend-o! Another great game you've made here, that was the last thing I expected to see 😨 Y'know how I feel about this genre, and good choice. Very good, keep it up man 💚🦖
Thanks so many times for the monumental work and support that you give me and my work. I wish all the best to you mate and hope to bring you back for more spooks. Cheers!
Included this in my 3 random horror game video! What a solid game this was indeed! Aamazing story and plot for sure, loved the build up of mystery. Graphics were also pretty stellar, love that PSX style going on throughout the game. Overall, not bad! Made a video on it.
Wow! This comment just made my day, the GOAT developer casually complimenting my work - means a lot friend. Thanks a lot. Can't wait for your games this year. All the respect, cheers!

Nice little game! *puts bandana on* Had HL vibes and I had the feeling of paranoia. One tiny suggestion - for goodness sake please add Shift - Run. :)
Thanks a lot for playing the game, I really appreciate the feedback.
