I loved it! It had a creepy, dark feel, and nice graphics! It's so hard to find games like these nowadays ;w; Is there a walk through for this? Cause I get stuck at the stupidest places... like the basement with the old lady, for example. I had no idea how to get back for a good fifteen minutes ._. Still, it's an overall good game, and it gives a good challenge! Good job! :3

Aahhh the basement... Taht might be my fault V_V Should have make the exit more visible.
Doglover, just hover your mouse around teh stairs and you should find a way out.
No Walkthrought so far, but at least 3 YouTubers told me they are making a Lets Play. Should I post links to that videos when they are up?
is a awesome game, a incredible story but... after all... i still dont get it, what is the point?
Vilehead responds:
Thx Verde :D The point - thats something big. But you know - I can't explain it.
You have to figure it out yourself.
It is a wonderful game. I don't feel like adding anything in the already long list of reviews except of my personal expirience. In the begining I was a little bored may I say because I felt like I was trapped in a labyrinth with several ways that led to nowhere. But by your description, the reviews and the amount of videos that were made for this game I convinced myself to try harder. An indeed I started slowly to understand some things and solve some riddles that gave me motivation to go further. I didn't manage to get all of the achievments but I'll be working with it from now on, now that I don't have to care about understanding nothing! :) It was very intresting to have in mind that what I was pleying is the reallity of an other person and to make scenarios of what will happen, for example if one of your kids play this game eventually, reallizing how it is to be in it's own fathers mind.. I don't know. I have to admit that I was not able to understand what is going on and some riddles I solve with plain observation..
The whole game was tied up very well about the sound, the graphics and everything (to not repeat the other reviewers)
I had also the same problem though with freezing but only when I opened it in an incognito tab..
Congrats again for your work at your strength (if you needed any) to be this sincere, as you describe, to the internet. I am trully lookinf forward for the sequel!
P.S. I also liked that the music and the game in general was stopping when I was at an other tab. I know that this is an easy thing to do but not everyone does it!
Vilehead responds:
Yeah. It is some sort of a "Memento". Thank you Egaron :) And... umm. A question.
What would you think if I would start an IndieGoGo campaign? For Antumbra 2.
Because, well - the sad reality is: If I won't get some extra funding - Antumbra 2 won't happened anytime soon. You know how it works. Bills, taxes, food, basic cost of life. In my current situation I cannot afford to work on a game for 3-4 months. And Antumbra 2, if I am about to make it THE RIGHT WAY, will take this amount of time. My initial plan was to just post more games from me, and if some money would stockpile - then to start working on Antumbra. But I don't know how long it would take. Months perhaps, a year? I don't know. So to speed up the process - I am thinking about crawdfunding. This way I would skip making other games and just focus on Antumbra 2, knowing I have the money to pay my bills and feed my family.
What do you think? I... Don't want to sound like some cheap-ass who's trying to milk his 5 minutes of fame. Antumbra and my success is some sort of miracle in my life. And I will never risk what I have right now, if there's a risk.
not bad. the music could be better though. maybe use samples from unleash the archers (great band btw) or metallica instead of ambience.
i love the idea of this. reminds me of the bards tale for DOS. not bad at all.
keep up the good work.
Vilehead responds:
And get my ass sued? No thank you :P
Thank you Bomb :D And wow - i love Bards Tale!
Brian Fargo made it - and he is like my rolemodel.
i finally fucking found it this one game that pops into my mind every so often. after so fucking long i found it and its awesome
but... i cant get the game to work, at least on newgrounds so tried it on itch.io and it works there and my opinion still stands
