Gameplay starts at 11:47. I have to say for how short the game is, it is extremely creepy. I dont have anything to criticize on this game other than it could have been longer but thats not a bad thing, well done!
Almost 3 years ago I played this game, being new to YouTube, but this has always stood out as one of my favorites. The atmosphere that this game has is amazing, without any of the cheap jumpscares. It's short but tense and I'm glad I could revisit it in my anniversary video.
First off: the game is beautiful. But that's mostly where my praise ends.
Overall there's so much potential to have a really immersive game but the lack of actual exploration you could do was disappointing. There was almost nothing to read, and unfortunately the fact that everything was crafted so wonderfully meant i spent a large portion of my time trying to figure out what i could actually interact with and coming up very short.
Also there's no subtitle options, so combined with the fact that there's no reading meant if you're deaf, HOH, or otherwise hearing-impared it's hard to pick up the story. I've got some auditory processing issues and because i couldn't reply any of the audio files without starting over meant i ended the game very... Disappointed. I have very little idea what the story is, and I'm unfortunately not prepared to start the game over again to only risk missing the audio once more.
Absolutely gorgeous game, and there's so much potential, but it ended up falling flat for me.
The graphics, sound effects, and general atmosphere of the game was really good. Although some text in the beginning of the game explaining the situation would have made this game better, I do realize that this game was made mostly to present the graphics. Overall this was a really creepy horror game that was fun to play! I made a gameplay video of this game for anyone that's interested in watching. Thank you for your time & have a nice day! :)
I played through the game and actually uploaded my gameplay to my channel. Although I do wish there was a bit more to the game, the atmosphere and sound-design were done quite well. Honestly, I wouldn't object to seeing this expanded upon further. Overall, I enjoyed it, thank you for this!
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!

Good graphics, good ideas, some flaws like a lack of scare jumps or more tension needed. Still, good potential.
I'll admit this one is a lot better than most itch.io horror games. Really enjoyed playing it.
Great game!! Really got me screaming like a little girl :)
here's the gameplay ;)

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
