Took a little bit with "try and error" to explore the map and get accostumed on what to do but after get what were the things I needed it was a great experience! Good job!!!
i love autumn and this game has a great atmosphere! , i agree with the complaints , but i can't wait for another game with more exploration and more relax !
A joyful game that has inviting horror elements without taking itself too seriously, and plays into the goofy nature of its niche- you're an asmr youtuber and that's funny. I do wish that element of the game was more present, where maybe the main character gets sidetracked by a cool sound they need to capture and share with their audience- but overall this game is enjoyable with good visual atmosphere and sound design.
I play your game in the video below (as well as a couple others) and left in depth feedback on the game. You can also vote for your game to advance in my channels tournament for best indie horror of february! You can vote for your game at this link:
Wow! Thanks for playing! Early prototype of the game was all about recording different sounds, but since this is my first game I had to keep it as simple as possible.
The best compliment you can give to a short game is that it leaves you wanting more, and this one sure does. An inviting but foreboding atmosphere, and great environmental storytelling that makes you wonder about the Grounds' buried secrets.
Gorgeous looking game with superb sound design and...poor execution, sadly.
The game truly had me in first half. I was fully immersed in this stylized environment, story rich gameplay with notes, items to interact with and pretty decent sized forest, yet the game completely fell off the wagon once I encountered the monster and I was stuck in the loop of despair.
Now, before going over the issues, I did notice that other players have struggled with the recording mechanic and I usually do read the information provided on the game's page about mechanics and features. But, that doesn't give the developer a free pass on not explaining the game fundamentally to the player and just giving the most minimal instructions of - task, do this, press this, open this, record this. You have to understand that it is very crucial to any game to be user friendly. Without it, some players might either be confused or irritated (me for example). Not to mention the goat killer - impossible to escape it.
In conclusion, like I mentioned, spectacular atmosphere, decent sound design, not a great experience. Best of luck with the future projects and I do hope this gets updated.
Thank you for useful feedback! Recording part is now patched and sorry to hear you disliked the loop part, this is what excited me in making the game in the first place.
I am already working on the next project, hopefully it will be a better experience for you!
I'm really looking forward to your next game. And, just to clarify, I didn't dislike the loop part, if you read my comment and watch the video I specifically say that the game has no direction for the player - what tasks to do, how to avoid the monster, etc. Those are very important so that the player can enjoy the experience and not looking at the game's page for clues. Good luck!

I'll be 3D printing a scene or monster from the winning game to give to the game dev.
