Truly was really scary. Even though it was a small project and game, you have taken very little and made it amazing. The graphics and sounds were absolutely great; they made the atmosphere really terrifying even if there was nothing happening. The build ups were great and really well executed. All in all, it was a great game and loved playing every moment of it.
I LOVED this. it had incredible atmosphere and build ups! I liked the subtle little things that built up to the larger scares. (also the VHS movie secret XD) heres my playthrough if you wanna see!
I'm incredibly surprised by this game. I can't realistically understand how you do something as polished as this in such a little time. Would love to see more of this in the future.
This game may be short but damn the entire time I felt like I was being watched... Good job on this great game! If you would like to watch me play through it I did so on my channel.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here:
Advantages:
1. The game design is ideal. I love how you lead the player all the way through experience. That is a hard thing to polish the design as thorough as you have done. Great job!
2. The house is very interesting to investigate. I suppose, it tells a story which I didn't have time to figure out due to being scared all the time)
Disadvantages:
1. At the start I minimized a window. After that the sound completely disappeared from the game. It would be cool if you would fix that.
2. You could work on some more details: it is strange how well thought the design of the house but how random are paintings at the same time. You can imagine how somebody have lived there but it is hard to imagine that somebody would hang all these strange creepy pics everywhere. Also, with the visuals being so polished it is strange that you can not see the car, only 2 lights coming from the darkness. Moreover, the key is insanely huge. Maybe it would be cooler if the key would have a bright glare from headlights that attracts attention.
Overall:
Such a wonderful game that gave me creeps. The game scared me even without using cheap jump scares or stuff like that. A mere atmosphere was terrifying enough to make my skin crawl. Such a great project, can't wait to see more from you! 5/5
It is such a shame that this was long a much longer game. I wanted more, more scares, more lore, more story, but perhaps this is exactly why the length is perfect. Hopefully you still get this message even thought the game was done 3 years ago!
Contemp is the first game I play in this video, the build up in this game is absolutely fantastic! The game does a great job of putting you on the edge of your seat and making you feel uneasy. Great job to the developer of this game I hope to see more of your content you have a lot of skill!
Well well .. i recommend this game. I am a horror fan, i like to read horror books and to play horror games.. i played some horror games.. and i still like your game creation also... i saw you have allocated a lot of time to create de graphics and the suroundings.. they are very good maded. congratulations.. Congratulations keep working on it man. Permit to me please to say few things that you can improve: for example the full screen is just a window maximized. if u can make it full screen will be great.. i mean to desapear the start menu bar when is full screen.. also after the game restart the settings dont remain saved, if you can introduce sound volume on setting will be great, and to put all the controls.. i discovered secret controls.. that can display my FPS or to ajust my contrast .. also flash light, but this are minor.. a save and load option will be great.. but i know you have worked alone on this game 9 months.. so is very very good maded .. to be honest i was scared in the game.. so ma men.. keep the work in progress... i wish to see this game finished. Respect man.
This game looks INCREDIBLE. You can tell the developer really knows what he is doing. All the little graphical details are fantastic and the game play is really smooth. The game had just the right amount of fright to give you the chills without being over the top. I hope this is just a demo and it develops into something much larger!

Very nice!

Contemp feels like the bastard child of P.T. and Layers of Fear. The atmosphere was stellar, and for those that don't know, there's multiple endings.
I only have 2 criticisms:
1. High depth of field != quality textures. It's also very taxing on computers.
2. Motion blur should be an option. It is also heavy on a GPU and some people find navigation difficult when exploring new environments.
Other than this, the game gets an A+ from me, since it was a University project!
One of the most atmospherically unnerving games I've played for my B&W horror anthology series: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFsIY7xpFKo&list=PLQT5XFx1cJltaDkIz86PPrmOPoeKtROIJ&index=3
The game is good

Thank you so much for making this game, Mica. My tongue got stuck a few times, because of the scares and oh boy! Great setting for a horror game.
I had such a Time playing this!! Definitely gave me RE7 vibes.
I hated myself for playing this! It was so scary, lol!
Okay Contemp had me on the edge of my seat! Reminded me of RE7 big time and I mean that as a solid compliment. The ambience was ridiculous!
Very spooky house!
Atmospherically was a great short experience. It had some serious RE7 Vibes!
Finally had a chance to check out your game and I will say... it have me quite a spook!
I was blown away by the atmosphere and vibe from this game. I had some serious RE7 vibes. Nice game! Played it last in my 3 Horror Games
