Thunderhead
A downloadable game for Windows
On Friday night, just past midnight, the people of Thunderhead screamed in terror.
Their end began four days earlier, when a strange hill appeared at the edge of the cemetery.
Maybe it began even further back - but our story begins the next morning, when the first light touched a town stained by horror.
What happened in Thunderhead was first told by the man who delivers milk every Friday to towns too quiet to matter.
FEATURES
- A Milk-Delivery Western Horror!
- Driving! Take the wheel of your rusty old van.
- Delivering! Bring milk and orange juice to a tiny, forgotten Western town.
- Fixing! The van's temperamental—sometimes it needs a whack with a wrench.
- Mystery! The town is empty. Where did everyone go? Why are there crosses everywhere? Who left behind those torn clothes? What happened here?
- Spectacle! Phenomenal music by Voltz Supreme, immersive sound design and an epic, cinematic finale.
- Retro graphics! Soak in the PSX-style aesthetic - on the prairie!

this is a really great game. a longer version would be great, however, please add adjustment for sound as it is painfully loud at times
LESS OF SCARES AND MORE HORRORIFYING STUPIDITY, THE LIKES OF WHICH HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN BEFORE!! Youtube Link -

Behold...my milk...
IM THE REAL MILKMAN I WLD LOVE IF U COULD WATCH MY VID
I am a milkman and I will stand by my post. pls watch my youtube video ❤️
What a fun little jaunt through the town of Thunderhead! A well put together experience with an odd plot twist at the end! Well Done Devs!
I definitely did not expect the twist, I streamed this and my chat was dumbfounded in a good way lol. I really love the music.
Presentation was top notch, especially the audio. Props!
Interesting. Also hope to be full time on youtube one day!
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this game 😁 The music was fantastic and the visuals were uniquely cinematic for a PSX style indie game! It’s clear a great amount of thought and effort was put into this really fun (albeit, just a tad short) game about delivering milk in a ghost town. The twist at the end also did get me, as everything was definitely pointing in a different direction! 👏 Can’t wait to see what else the dev brings to this genre! 😎

Engaging premise(deliveries in an abandoned town), lovely visuals, nice sound design, great use of driving mechanic, effective twist, appropriate play time, all in all make for a great horror short. But, I do want to mention that I especially appreciate the "horror in broad daylight" approach, it's something that has not been widely used. Keep up the great work, mate! Cheers!
I was not expecting the twist. This game was awesome though, the game looks incredible, the music is amazing, and it was fun to see it all play out.
All that said, I really wish this was longer. More to explore, more to look at, more to do. But I get it, it's a free game so adding too much more is such a pain. But what is here for Thunderhead is super good and I was a huge fan.
I'm super excited for Caribou Harbor
Here's my playthrough if you're interested, it's the first game
I KNEW IT WAS A CROP CIRCLE THE SECOND I SAW IT I KNEW IT HAHAHA
PT/BR
Que PLOT incrível (eu fui enganado o jogo inteiro kkkk), devo dizer que a experiência de ser um entregador de leite em uma cidade fantasma foi bem divertida.
The aesthetic was on point! Wish it were longer!
xD
very good game was not expecting the ending
My Playthrough:
Good fun game I did not expect this to be about alien though really surprised me, highly recommend people to try it out!
very nice game was not expecting the ending
Pretty fun game. Ending as stated was unexpected but overall I enjoyed it. Good work.
Thanks for playing!
I THOUGHT THAT MY JOB WAS TO DELIVER MILK AND JUICE, NOT GET ABDUCTED BY WITCH ALIENS!! Youtube Link -
Thanks for making the video!
This was a good game overall. Was not expecting the ending we got.
Many thanks for playing!
linux compatibility when?
Not planned, I have no way of testing it, but some people played it on Linux using some software.
This game was fun, definitely enjoyed the short story.
Very neat little horror story. There was some jank on an ultrawide monitor, but it was still cool.
Thanks for playing! What jank did you experience?
The top half of the text at the top and bottom text at the bottom of the screen were cut in half.
You sold me at "A Milk-Delivery Western Horror".
I enjoyed this game, the gameplay of delivering milk was very satisfying and I genuinely wished the game was a little longer. I hope this game gets some type of sequel or prequel because I would definitely play it!
Thanks a lot for playing and making a video! Sequel/prequel is not planned for this game.
That's alright then, either way your game was really enjoyable. Looking forward to what you do next!
I really liked it. I wish it was longer.
Thanks for playing!
Muy buen juego la verdad, corto pero entretenido, espero con ganas mas juegos vuestros.
Thanks for playing and showing the game on your channel, I appreciate the feedback. Hopefully you find what you're looking for in different games!
The world needs more western horror games, this was fantastic! Loved the style of this one, great vibes.
Was not expecting that ending lol, only wish it were longer!Thank you!
Very cool vibe. Game loop of dropping off bottles a little repetitive, and wished there was a bit more in the way of exploration (particularly in expanding the narrative). Concur also that the UFO was a disappointment, given the otherwise fitting match between the environment and the unseen witch. But I enjoyed the aesthetic, atmosphere, and functionality (particularly of the drivable truck!) all-the-same. Great work on this!
Thanks for the review!
Thanks for playing!
I truly truly enjoyed this and I really want more set in this world and style. It was wonderfully unique.
Thanks for showing the game on your channel, I wish you all the best!
very nice, thank you for making this
Thank you for playing!
Very interesting game . When I heard western horror I was expecting more horses and less driving :) but I liked the twist at the end.
Thanks for making the video!
