Wow! This is incredible, man! It played me on multiple levels! The isolation, the creepy night-vibe, the claustrophobia! It really got to me when he was trying not to panic, I could feel myself getting nervous! Loved the rotoscope-style animation and colors too. It all came together to make a really cool and creepy story! Love it!

Thank you so much! I enjoy coming back to this animation and see if there is anyone with any sort of input/critique etc. So it's always fun to see someone who enjoyed my work!
I really tried to capture the "feel" of the night; with its isolation and eerie, yet cozy, atmosphere :)
I've been reading a really intense horror book, and had I checked the tags I probably would have avoided this video... considering the shivers and heart pounding though, I'm glad I didn't pass it up. Positively fantastic atmosphere and art style, and the monsters were humanoid yet incredibly uncanny and terrifying...
Gnydsmelt responds:
Thanks for the review and I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Up until the end I really liked how the atmosphere kept building, and getting scarier and scarier... but when the monsters appear part of that atmosphere dies down. When the unknown becomes visual... it's just not unknown. I hoped it would end with something not all too revealing and keep that vibe, but though it's a nice twist after that I think the monsters ruined it a bit, overall though very well-made! Sound is top quality too.

Thanks!
The long production time was 100% worth it. Really atmospheric, beautiful rotoscoping style, and it was genuinely creepy too. Hope to see more like this from you!

Thank you so much Hrobkafon and congrats on that frontpage :) I really enjoyed your whole project aswell!
Nice animation. Flat backgrounds and rotoscoping done well. Also nice setup of mood and ambience. Keep it coming.
