A downloadable game for Windows

It's been three weeks since she disappeared. 

She went to Hamilton Forest with her boyfriend, and nobody has heard from them since. 

The police say they performed a search of the area and found nothing. They said that further exploration was too dangerous and that the risk to the search party was too great.

"I can't imagine how you must feel," the Officer had told me. His blank gaze failed to meet my eyes. "But you can't go looking for them."

They wouldn't tell me why.

It's my first foray into horror and the first game I've ever released, so any and all feedback is appreciated.

Please enjoy!

I made an account just to tell you how much I loved this game; the jumpscare still got me even though I knew it was coming :,)

AMAZING atmosphere. Got really creeped out across the whole experience. Hope you release more sometime :)

Great game! very good atmosphere and art style and very spooky at the end!

very spooky !  The game does a great job at keeping a terrifying atmosphere just all through it so gg dev! :)

Very good. The overall atmosphere was very oppressing and unsettling, with good audio design and no lazy jump scares. The retro-style graphics worked very well in further obscuring the already dark and unsettling environment, and also helped lessening the sparingly used gore.

For its runtime of 20 to 30 minutes, the game delivers a short but intriguing story. I like that the game has a defined conclusion and ending, but also leaves most of the overarching backstory shrouded in mystery.

Hello, I saw your game and decided to play it for a video.

It was pretty good, I liked it to be fair.

I still can't believe so much can happen in a 75MB game. Above ground. Under ground. In hallways and rooms. Incredible how you guys managed to squeeze so much terror into such a small footprint.

Well done and kudos to all involved.

I know i missed alot of things in this video. I cant nah seriously i couldnt have explore all cuz my heart was racing like a f1 car. It was soo scary my whole body got chills. I cant beilive its only 75 mb. Its amazing. And did u also lost in hamlton? i dont see your games anymore,i hope you are ok. And it was a great game tbh

Liked the atmosphere. Played on my channel :)

Great atmosphere and the sound just seemed to fit the style of the game to  a tee. Great job...

I loved the art style and the game made me feel tense the whole time

Wow, that was genuinely terrifying. Ambiance was so well done i was amazed. Things getting more and more creepy as you went in couldn't have been done better. ESPECIALLY loved the effects on the poster.

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

excited to see what you do next! this game was genuinely horrifying. 

it was a really good and interesting game

Hey yo good game!! Even though the game is simple it left me stuck to find out more about, I really liked the story, even if the game is from 2020 it would make a good continuation, anyway I really liked it, good work

Keep it up

Gameplay PT-BR

Okay, the great use to audio transitions from the heavy wind to the dead silence, always think a good audio can be so much scarier then a visual. 
Although, that end GOT me.. I though I got away! At least I didn't die to the first one!

Looking For The Lost - Hamilton 

 

Great game! The end made me jump lol. Hope to see more from you! :)

Loved this horror experience, great mood. I played twice just to get a closer look at the monster :)

Simply amazing. Keep up the good work.

Atmospheric game with solid environment and creepy sound effects compiled together well with scary events. Really enjoyed this experience. Thank you for making this! 1st game.

I had a lot of fun playing!  Thanks for a fun game!

I had a lot of fun with this ^^ I love the grungy style to it

I have some trouble playing the game. It always crashes after I get into the door at the start. Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

Hi, sorry to hear you've been having trouble. It doesn't sound like you're doing anything wrong. I've taken a look through the level transition code again and I'm afraid I haven't been able to replicate your issue, though the problem in your case is most likely the game failing to find the next level or an issue with game data present on the second level. Unfortunately the only advice I can offer at this point is to attempt to re-download the game data, or run the executable as an administrator. I'm sorry that I can't be of more help, but it's been a long time since I've touched this project and my knowledge of troubleshooting beyond Unity is limited.

Thank you very much for the advice. I'll try it and see.

For your first attempt this is marvelous and easily one of the best things I played from this site. Pure atmosphere that leaves you chilled.

November (Allison?), I played your game because I saw Decestia rate it 5 stars (I loved “In the Mountains” by him) and he was not wrong, this is gorgeous. All the small details and just weird/horrifying ideas, the very subtle audio cues and the soundtrack, it was all ramping up to a truly surprising ending. I loved this. 
The proof: I start out chatting away and then get quieter and quieter the deeper I go :D

Sorry, Allison... This was a super creepy game with some amazingly freaky moments. I especially love the visuals found in/near the messages and logs. Great game, 7.9/10.

Do have a small bug report though, I think all the game's audio cuts out if you try to press Start again immediately after completing it once. So my second playthrough didn't have audio. Could possibly have been a headphone problem on my end though

Loved it!  The exploration with the eerie silence and darkness was so perfect.  Good graphics, and ending.

Nice little game, I really liked the idea with poster!

Great job, man! Or woman, it doesn't matter. I got really scared at the computer part! Keep it up!

the scare at the end made jump so much, good game

I loved The Grudge sound effects the monster had going and the rusty aesthetic but my favourite part was definitely the subtler elements like the changing of the poster. So cool.

😊👍

This is a pretty good game. The atmosphere is very well done, especially the noises the monster makes. I played it for this video of mine; it's the second game, at about 3:50.

This was an amazing game with phenomenal atmosphere, incredible audio, and fantastic environment design. Thank you for the terrifying experience and I hope you keep up the awesome work.

AWESOME GAME !!!
