Truly a good horror game. The abandoned house have that chilly atmosphere to it. Dark, cold and most of of all quiet. Well in the begining at least. The work on detail here is so good. So many small things and so high detail on each on of them.
You manage to keep the player on it's toes and still interested in what's happening in the house. This could even be a good horror movie.
So what's the problem with Contemp? It's to short. ;)
I wanted more of this game!! The design was really nice and I loved the eerie feeling that it gave me. I kept feeling like something was behind me. Great work!!
I love it, but let me add a few suggestions in the spirit of constructive criticism:
- the head-bobbing and the feeling you are either drunk or on a boat, made me feel dizzy. - the movement due to invisible walls felt pretty limited - I find it weirdly convenient that the key was just there and that everything was everything abandoned - obviously, someone still paying the bills for electricity ...these are details, although they matter :)
Everything else is simply amazing! I am surprised at how great the visual atmosphere is, and actually, I was blown away. Please do make a full game out of this, the world will be grateful :D
This was a great, creepy game! Obviously a shorter game just meant for the spooks, it definitely did its job. I was spooked! If worked on more for a story and lengthened to fit a plotline, I think it'd be a very terrifying game!
This game wasn't all I thought it was going to be. It had a very nice atmosphere and had a very eerie feeling to it but I didn't feel any sence of danger going through the game. There were moments earli on where I thought that this was it for me but it turned out to be nothing but noise and this continued throughout the game which took away any sense of danger away from the game. Hardly anything scary happened and when it did, it was expected that something was going to happen. I quite liked the ending to the game though, that did make me jump a bit and got me a little scared. I turned around to try and run and I realised that I couldn't. I don't think any other player has throught to turn around or at least from what I had saw, no one else has but that was a nice touch to the game. Really good technique to use. I do think it your next game could do with more unpredictability because after a while this game became predictable. I go more in depth in my video. Feel free to watch it and give me some feedback.
For being a short Indie Horror game this was pretty creepy. For starters I wouldn't go in an abandoned house by myself. The house had the RE7 feel to it which made the game even better...good job man, I look forward to future games.
most creepy game out of the three i played for sure! really added to the video! I love the graphics, extremely immersive and the sounds are extremely effective, especially to say you didn't create them yourself! very creepy jump scare, but even without that jumpscare, the atmosphere was so immersive it was perfect!
Thanks for making this game, i'd love to see more! Possibly a longer version ;)
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.

Your game comes in at 10:45. This game was awesome, really loved the style of it and it was creepily atmospheric .. would love a longer version of it.

This was great, I wish I could check it out in VR.

Really, really love the atmosphere of your game. It's so rad.
Really enjoyed playing the game. I'm a sucker for horror, and I wasn't disappointed in the end of the game!
This game is so good! I loved the aesthetic and the design of the house. It really drew me into the game! Great job!

This game is beautiful, the atmosphere is great and building up the suspense is great and rarely seen by these days overall great job!
This was a fantastic and beautiful game, just wish it was a little longer!! We encountered a glitch on our playthrough tho.
Good God, congrats on the sound design.
Lmfao wonderful game and i was waiting for something to jumpscare me the whole time
THIS HOUSE IS SPOOPY!
I hate playing horror games so .... why not do a horror game series on youtube? Seems like a good idea, see me get really scared!! :)

NonVR playthrough:

Overall really great atmosphere and very enjoyable :D

Hello, I am Chad of Korean game broadcasting.
Can you broadcast the game?

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.
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
