Contemp
A downloadable game for Windows
Contemp is a short horror story set in an old abandoned house, enter and see how it has been preserved and what you can find inside!
This game is the result of my specialization project as a computer graphics artist from Luleå Technical University. The production time of the game was 9 weeks with everything produced except sound and music.
The game also supports VR interaction but it is restricted just to walking around in the level. Supported VR is SteamVR (Vive) but also works using SteamVR emulators with a smartphone.
I really hope you will enjoy this short game and would love to hear any kind of feedback!

Very good, excellent graphic.
Really like your work!
I’m building TWT Community, a tool for creating personal communities.
Maybe we could find a way to collaborate?
I played this jawn a LONG time ago, pretty good atmosphere
This was so unsettling and the atmosphere of walking around in the house was beyond creepy. I’d love to see more games or even a longer telling of this one.

I clinched my cheeks through this whole gameplay, highly recommend this fellas, Check out my video to see an example of my yelling
good game very suspenseful
great game good job i actually like it
I love Contemp, this game have very good atmosphere of abandoned house. A creaking floor under your feet is something beautiful, such a small detail, but it makes you happy. I think that Contemp is worth attention, great job <3
This is my gameplay video from Contemp:
Greatings from Poland :Dwas playing this on stream when I found a bug. Controls say to move the mouse around to look around, but I had to hold right click in order to do so. In addition to that, if you let go, the whole screen turns into a blur. The only way to fix this, is by going back to the main menu and replaying from the beginning. I loved what I was able to play, but the bug made it impossible to continue once I accidentally let go of the right click.
For how short the game was, it was really impressive. its a very polished game and holds so much potential. A full release of the game would be awesome to see!

Tem alguns comentários em inglês aqui já falando sobre isso, mas cara, que atmosfera incrível nesse jogo! Eu já me impressionei com a beleza dos elementos no início e mesmo curtinho eu consegui me assustar e me divertir! Micaka, you're awesome! s2WOW. I am super impressed with this one. The atmosphere is absolutely on point, and it's so polished. I'm so glad I played this unique horror game. I look for good shit like this. The ending made you feel like you were gonna die, but then it yanked you out of harms way, which I think was awesome. Makes you feel like you just went through this horrible experience, and life is just gonna continue on as normal, but you won't be the same. So cool.
Loved this one! Check out the new video
Super spooky vibe with great graphics! Beautiful
Hats off to you guys. Wonderfully done atmosphere and overall feel.
Hi Micaka. Very scary and incredible graphics! 5 Stars!!
Gostei muito do jogo e me deixou tensa a todo momento.
Please make more games like this! This is definitely a beautiful horror game.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Contemp pulled me in from the start with its quiet tension and eerie setting. There's something so unsettling about walking through an abandoned house that feels like it's still alive in some way. The details, the pacing, the sound design — everything works together to build this thick, uneasy atmosphere. It’s a short experience, but it left a strong impression on me. It felt like I was being watched the whole time, and that final moment? Chills. This is exactly the kind of horror I love — subtle, immersive, and haunting. Great work, dev!
BAD
Game keeps crashing after one minute.
Would have played it on my channel but it crashed three times already...too bad, looked promising.
did you ever find a fix?
Unfortunately not...
This was amazing! Very well done! I wish it was longer (that's what she said LOL) Anyways here is my playthrough and reaction
did you have to adjust any settings to get the game to work?
don' t work crashed 5 min after start game
very short but nice game :)
good cinematic walkthrough kind of game. pretty environmental art and graphics. a bug i noticed, i tried to check if crouching is possible, so i tried pressing left ctrl as well as C, and it somehow teleported me every time i pressed it around like 1m distance forward which also made me get through the map. i really enjoyed playing the game, keep up the great work :)
