THE METAL DETECTOR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND.

Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
What a solid game this was indeed! Superb story building for sure with the ghost and what not. Made a video on it.
Interesting game for sure. Kinda wish there was a bit more puzzles in the game, but overall not bad.

good
Suspenseful, eerie and a little confusing - decent game.
I was really impressed with the level of detail and how the game showcased this strangely familiar place - the beach. It had a scale and never felt like a small level in the game. The sound design was good, I liked the interactions and the puzzle towards the end. My only complaint about it would be that the ending didn't connect - the story was a bit too ambiguous and I never felt like I had to make a definitive decision. As well as small issues in the game like the metal detector going crazy for some reason and during one of the cutscenes I think the camera was way off the focus.
Overall, recommend checking this one out and finding all the endings. Best of luck with the future games!
(In all fairness, I did compare this to your previous game called "Overnight Camping" - now that one was better, in my opinion)
Thanks for playing! The metal detector seems to have a bug and seeing your video it seems like the place isn't as dark as I wanted it to be. I will also consider changing the story up a tad bit because I absolutely agree that the player didn't have a definitive choice. Thank you for taking the time to review this. It's been a long while since I made a game so forgive me if I'm rusty :p
Not at all, I really liked the overall premise.
Good luck with the future projects!
If it's not my problem, the movement speed of the game is a bit slow. It would be great if there were a running button.
I noticed it aswell. I will fix in a later update.
Thank you so much!
looks awesome gonna try it later :)
