Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (the game is the 2d there) and sub):
Advantages:
1. Well, the game is scary. It is doing it's job creating a creepy ambiance and tension.
2. I love the concept of the game being inside the game, though I would adore if this would be underlined more. Like if you'd get to do something after logging out of your computer at the end.
Disadvantages:
1. I think the enemy appearances lacked nice accompanying sounds. It would be cool to hear something off after "finishing" the game before seeing the enemy. Or some basic jumpscare sounds would do as well.
2. It's a pity that there will be no sequel :( I guess this game feels a bit unfinished, indeed. Like there should be more explanation what has actually happened and why.
Overall:
I enjoyed the game! I think enemy model could still be polished a bit more and the sounds added but the game is good. It's 4/5 for me due to the lack of "final touches". I am exited to see your next projects!
Thank you for the feedback! I too am disappointed about the sequel, but some time in the future i might start developing it again. I will be making other short horror games every now and then though. I plan for start.exe 2 to not be so short though (if i make it) im imagining it to be maybe 10-30 minutes (since their will be chases and hiding (: )
Well unity fricked up the sequel so its not going to be finished sorry. I will make future games, but i am going to take a break from game dev for a while first. Then i will continue to make short little fun games
ill give ya this i got a little spoked in the basement tho nothing happened but i see what you were going for… maybe if you put more detail on the… figure? it would have been more scary but overall nice work
cool! I can recommend some youtube channels to learn game development: Jimmy Vegas, Brackeys, Awesome Tuts Jimmy vegas and brackeys are more focused on unity, Awesome tuts has multiple game engines like unity, unreal, game maker, and godot
Hey, i just started a new devlog for the next game, so iff you want to keep track of its development progress you can here: https://cletus-g.itch.io/startexe-2
Honestly, great job. I created a game a lot like this (I didn’t copy), but for some reason it didn’t do very well. I enjoyed playing this. The game I made is called The Arcade, but it isn’t anything worth looking at.
I really wish this was longer! Loved the overall style, but the ending was very abrupt! I'd love to see more added to this, or another game with a similar style!
I played this in my YouTube video and let me tell you: it was pretty good! The pixelated environment as well as the abstract enemy made it a pretty terrifying experience to play through! Although, it was a little too short and my favorite segment was the basement! That felt like it would've scared the bejeezus out of me had there been a little more spook to it. Other than that, awesome game! Check out my reaction in my video

Thanks
this game is awesome, though it could be a little longer, but overall awesome game! played it in my youtube video: 3 scary games
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I really wish this was longer! Loved the overall style, but the ending was very abrupt! I'd love to see more added to this, or another game with a similar style!
Thanks for playing! I am planning to make another game with the same style, just much longer, with better gameplay mechanics and better graphics.
It's pretty good. I do think it was a little short but was overall satisfying.
Thanks!
