This project was made for a "Horror Ham-Jam 2025". I made this in 3 days, focusing a lot on the game-jam's rules and simplicity - entire game is set inside of a shipping container. I hope you enjoyed this and thanks a bunch for ongoing support and feedback.
This guy always surprises me! Very Proud of this:

Nice little game, enjoyed it!
Many thanks for playing and supporting my game. Sorry for the late reply, the page was down for a while. Best to you!
I enjoyed this one, would love to see a longer version of Subdue. I did struggle to open the box for the tools but I guess I just missed the prompt or tried looking for it too early. Would really like to give the French baguette a go. Was a nice short little experience.
Hey mate! Hope you are doing well. Thanks a bunch for playing the game and supporting it, really means a lot. All the best to you!
Good short experience
Huge thanks for playing and showcasing my game, I read appreciate the feedback and the video. Apologies for the late reply. Cheers ✨ ✨ ✨
I don't know. I mean, this game is, is, is a game. It's a game jam, that's great. In that time, there's not much time to waste. Good practice in little time.
Okay. Thanks for playing.
Erm, I like the concept, but it lacked in atmosphere and the end was kinda like... bruh. But it's
understandable because it was made in 3 days.Yeah. Thanks for playing.
I loved the game and I liked even more that you touched on a topic that is rarely seen. Speaking of video games, of course. I also really liked the design of the woman and how short the game was, a short and terrifying experience. I'm attaching my gameplay in case you want to see it and help me :)
Many thanks for playing. I appreciate the feedback and support. Best to you.
Subdue!
Another interesting game by Apish Box Games!
The set up, disturbing, had me questioning what was going on, reading the notes and lore, can tell there is more then what it seems
Got me with a pretty good scare, loved the twist and the build up.
Awesome job Niven!
What a comment! Classy mate!
Huge thanks for playing and I deeply appreciate the feedback. All the best to you ✨
You didn't miss anything - perfect gameplay!
Thanks a lot for playing and I'm glad you liked this short experience. Best to you mate!

Subdue Gameplay – A Horror Story Inside a Shipping Container!
nice gameThanks a bunch for playing! I'm glad that you liked the game. Best to you!
Very good game! I'd love to see a longer version maybe like fnaf with different nights and different captives and you have to micro manage to survive the shipment. (Game is 14 min in)
Thank you for trying this one out. Glad that you liked it and I will definitely consider the adjustments, maybe for the future entries. Best to you!
Nice game and concept, really creepy and atmosphere was really great!
Hi Vuk! How are you friend?
Big thanks for playing my silly project, this was one and done for a jam, nothing special. I really appreciate your feedback and can't wait for your new games as well. Best to you ✨
Hi, I'm good, thanks for asking, how are you? All of your games are fantastic and I learned a lot about horror in general from them and thanks for that!, Christmass game I was making ended up being too big off a project for my level of experience so it will probably wait next winter, for the past 20ish days I've been working on something new, shorter and more "wrapped up" (for a lack of the better word) experience, horror, should be released in a week or max two
I am looking forward to your new works, definitely. Best to luck Vuk! And thanks again for being so generous with compliments.
Hi! Play your game, and can you fix box use?
Thanks for playing. Unfortunately no, I can't fix whatever you are asking for, because this is a jam project and I can't upload a fixed version during the voting period and also I don't think it needs fixing and that's the other reason.
Nevertheless, best to you.

Big thanks for playing and supporting my work! I'm glad to be included in 3 horror games video, yeah. Best to you!
Another absolute BANGER by Niven! This game actually through me off. I didn't expect it to go the way it did. That jumpscare got me so good! Great work my man!

When abducting the wrong person goes wrong, is the perfect title for this game.
Short, but makes it up in scares and story.

And again, Niven Hedinger shows why he is the master of the minimal, by shoving us into a narrow shipping container, with no room to escape and no window to look out of.
In doing so, he pushes you way out of your comfort zone, to a place where you are forced to face demons, be they your own or ones from the outside world. Niven delivers yet another mesmerizing game that keeps you glued to your computer screen until the bitter end.
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.
Mr. Daniel in the chat 🙌
Thank you so very much, deeply, for playing, supporting and showcasing my game. Wish all the best to you Sir and I'm glad you liked the game. Cheers 🍻
So amazing and I wish it was longer since you managed to draw me in so much in such a short time! Amazing job as always your games are fantastic! Good job brother!
I will make sure to make something more juicy next time, promise!
Big thanks for playing and always being so supportive man. Wish all the best to you and your amazing channel. Cheers!
For a short game, this a was a pretty creative idea. Especially being confined to such a small area.
Many thanks for playing! I really appreciate the feedback. Wish all the best to you friend ✨
This was an absolute homerun, especially for how short it was. Fantastic work as always!
Thanks a hundred, thousand, millions times for playing lol. Not a bad game I guess, glad that you liked it man. Best to you and get well soon!
short and scary! it would've been super cool if we were able to use the first aid kit at some point since it was mentioned... also it took me forever to find where the toolbox was. thanks niven!!
Tons of thanks for playing Jinx! Your support is very much appreciated. Well, the game was made for the jam and I had couple of ideas, which went nowhere because of time and I was unable to fully realize the game, but yeah, hopefully I can update this, will see. Thanks again and best to you!
awh i see. that happens a lot with jams, so no worries if you can't haha. you should focus on future projects, which i am always looking forward to!! thanks for your response :))
Nice game for how short it was. I would say the box interaction area could probably be a bit bigger xD
Thanks a lot for trying out the game. I am working on the newly implemented interaction and yeah, I will definitely consider it for the next game. Best to you man, you make the best content out there, keep up the great work 🥇🍻
didn't see that it was a demon :0
Gregory never saw it coming lol!
Thanks a thousand times for playing and supporting my work. I deeply appreciate the feedback and wish all the best to you!
