I played a bit of the demo part of my random horror series. This game is pretty cool. I like the design and atmosphere can't wait for the full game to come out. 

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your playthrough!

I'm super excited for this game. Where do you prefer a purchase (on what platform do you get the most money from?) Good luck with the development!

Thank you! It'll probably be right here on itch.io once the full version is released.

Is there a release date yet? :)

Not yet, sorry! All I can say is that it's unfortunately not this year. The project is still chugging along and will probably be released when the stars are aligned.

will it be free in release?

Hauntingly beautiful, Yet playing it makes my Sanity crumble down slowly...

There are some elements in this game that I enjoy like the retro part and the spooky of the game. But sometimes there are disgusting actions from Kaf that make me kinda worried. Hahahaha. Good job Dev. Here is my 5 minutes+ Gameplay. Enjoy~

hey love this game so far may I ask how we make it full screen? maybe its thr format of my laptop but ts not letting me play full screen. for MAC.

Access the settings menu (pause with esc or from the bunker menu) and then change to Fullscreen mode under the presentation section.


Alternatively, alt+enter should do the trick (alt is called options or ⌥ on Mac.)


If you tried both and it doesn't work then fo you think you can send me the data files?  The ones for Mac are mentioned in the first post
