Got chilling goosebumps on the first encounter with the cannibals. Needless to say, I'm too scared to continue playing 😨

Edit: Just noticed the dynamic lighting around the campfire, which really adds to the immersiveness of the game. After getting caught by another one, I'm officially done. Too scary for me!

why are you using unity. I can't access the game on either chrome or edge. please switch to HTML5 or flash

Aethyri responds:

Hi, sorry you're having this problem. The game is using the Unity WebGL canvas for HTML5, and works fine in Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. But it lags a lot on any browser that has hardware acceleration disabled. I'm thinking this is the case for you and it's freezing up. Try enabling hardware acceleration and let me know if you still have problems.

On Chrome, this usually makes the colors look washed out. On Windows, this can be solved permanently by going to the Color Management settings, select your display, tick "Use my settings for this device", remove all profiles, and add the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile.

This game is really, really hard to navigate, especially with how big/crowded the map is and the limited flashlight mechanic. I was able to find the planks on my first playthrough but after being killed by the talking cannibal, I was never able to find them again. The brown cliffsides look too similar to the brown paths so it's hard to tell what you're able to walk on.

Also, when you're walking south, the character is pushed to the bottom of the screen so you're barely able to see anything. This makes it super easy for cannibals to just come at you out of nowhere.

That said, I like the story and atmosphere, I think there's a lot of potential there.

Aethyri responds:

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Many others have also gotten lost. I've updated the game with a map, more control of the flashlight, more contrast between the cliffs and paths, and a tighter camera focus. Hope you have a better experience!

Runtime errors....

I found an error when I enter the building that needs and axe. when you go to the far lleft side of the building it makes the game crash.

dammit. also when I arrive at the hall. then turn on the lights. the game crashes. happened 3 times. wanted to rank it higher. please fix.

After i exit, i said *yawn*. I press enter, but it doesnt continue. What button must i press?

Aethyri responds:

I wrote down "Z to interact" in the tent but I'll make it clear that it also goes through dialogue, sorry
