I'm a little late to the party, but still enjoyed my experience with Contemp. It definitely has effort put into it trying to spook the player through the environment. With so much darkness present, I kept expecting to turn a corner and have a face staring at me, which is a quality I like in a horror game. It's good to make the player spook themselves.
The leaves fall a bit too slowly. Since it might take some time to actually notice the shed, you could have a noise set on a tigger/timer, that shifts the player's attention on the shed. While you hear a windchime, it is nowhere to be seen, which could break immersion you need to build at the beginning. Similarly the clock in the kitchen and livingroom could be animated (and if the second hand is just "stuck" flicking at the same location, indicating low battery) An unlock/close sound for the door would also be great. Inside the house, the moths wouldn't fly around the lamps, as long they off. Upstair wardrobe door clips into the racks and clothes behind when opening, same for the door in the attic leading to the narrow corridor. Sound attenuation of the sound recorder upstairs needs adjustment, since looking around might mute it. Overall really great atmosphere and very enjoyable :D
Awwwww it wont work for me :"( but it still looks really good and cool i hope that maybe and can get it to work and then play it but im new to this lol.
Holy cow. Not only is the game pretty, but the sound design is just fabulous. There's never silence, just this faint white noise that makes you painfully aware of how quiet it is.
This game looks astonishing! The ambience, the atmosphere, the tension, all well done. The only bad thing about it is that it's too short. There is no story, so I added my own :p
I had a lot of fun with the game. It crashed a few times but I was able to get a full playthrough. There was a lot of atmosphere and moments of tension, which I appreciate. I can't wait to see a full game!
I kinda hoped that there was a bit more scares and story put into the game considering the game was leaning a bit more on the walking sim side of the horror genre. That said, I liked the game and how well polished it was for being a specialized project.
I really wish there were more heavy scares in this game, but I understand for it just being a tech demo in a way. I hope we see more from you. You got the looks down on what makes a scary atmosphere, now its time for some story!
I'm having a problem with the game's visuals. At first, I see a path to a house, but as soon as I try to move the view, all goes black. I can hear my character walking, but can only see flashes of green and white light.
I thought this game was really well done in the sense that as soon as it dropped me into its world I knew what was going on and what to do. It built up a lot of tension in such a short amount of time and the payoff was worth the wait. I enjoyed the subtle eerie scares this game presented rather than the typical in your face jump scares. Game starts at 29:30
I don't know what it was about this game but it really made me feel immersed and creeped out the whole time. The detail in the textures and everything looked really amazing. The lighting was perfect, the breathing animation could be lessened a bit though. I really wish you could do a longer more narrative/letter based game with the same atmosphere as this. Really, really great job!

The graphics in this game were honestly amazing! I loved this short horror game! I could see a full horror game out of this! Good job!
This demo is twice as good as any full-release AAA title out there. Hope ya'll keep up the good work
1.Sin duda alguna es una de las mejores demos que he jugado!!!!
1.It's amazing!!
Are you planning to create a full version? I am really looking forward to it.
I've seen several youtubers play this and just love the environment. I'd love to see this get released on Mac so I can play it for myself.

Hello ghost busters! I played this game where the suspense killed me throughout the entire thing! Ghosts are scary man!
I'm having a problem with the game's visuals. At first, I see a path to a house, but as soon as I try to move the view, all goes black. I can hear my character walking, but can only see flashes of green and white light.
Nice Ambience , Nicely guided to the End where You Meet The Special One :)
