Love the replay ability of this game. It made the challenge to beat it so much fun.
I am glad you enjoyed <3 Looking at the gameplay, it seemes like you skipped all cutscenes with the lore and hints. This was patched on 1.0.1 to remove the "skip" button when the cutscene was new. I encourage you to checkout the latest version if you are intrested in the lore, plus I have added an hard difficulty :)
Apparently as scary as it looked. I don’t mean this as an attack, but I get past the weather report scene and the game gets super glitchy then froze. I shut my Mac and reopened it, to which it then said it crashed. No big deal, stuff happens I guess. But I reopen my Mac to try again but it’s completely frozen so I close out of the game and it turned my computer background yellow. Just straight yellow. I don’t know if this is gonna stay or not, or if anything else will happen since I’m writing this immedietly after it happened. (I’m saying this some time later. I’m stressing this a little much, but my computer screen is still yellow. There’s nothing insanely abnormal happening with it unless you count that.)
One of the scariest short horror games I've played in a while, love the feeling of everything around you being out of your control and feeling immediately overwhelmed by something unknown. Also it was genuinely quite difficult which I really enjoyed. Will be checking out your other projects, thanks for such a banger! :)
Are there any viruses in the game?
No, sometimes antivirus might flag it as such, you can also download the steam version https://store.steampowered.com/app/3527020/Shut_the_windows_and_dont_look_outsid...
What a fun demo! I cannot wait for the full experience! I would love to see things outside, especially as I come up to close windows. WHY DOES THE OCEAN CAVE HAVE A LAWN CHAIR?! I'm glad I was able to appease the bureau, I promise to close all windows and NEVER look outside going forward.
You shall never see what's outside
Technically the ocean cave is inside.. right?? I can go for a visit right? 🥺
You're asking too many questions, the Angel is displeased.
Thank you <3
THOSE ANGELS DIDN'T STAND A CHANCE!
Very good and to me very stresfull! keep up the good work on making games!
very good game seems inspired by the mandela catalogue cant wait for full release
I don't think these are angels man...
you are right
Hey man! Can you reach me on my email?
ersin.ozlem9@gmail.com
And thank you for playing ❤️
HI! GAME JUST AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
No, you are amazing ❤️
im rn scared to try it cuz my computer [windows] said it was bad and it crashed
That's worrysome, do you mind joining discord and sharing your computer specs and any screenshots of the crash?
These are the kind of indie games I love! Scary, panic inducing, frantic, and ultimately we are left to our own imagination to figure out what is going on! A+ in execution and will definitely be looking forward to the complete version of this horrific concept 😁 Thanks for the fun!
If you’d like to see how I conducted myself during this terrifying encounter, please check out the video below 👇
Hey, I'm flattered and thank you so much for playing.
Cheers, you are welcome for the anxiety :)
hi. I tried to download the game on Mac, which I succeeded in but I tried to run the game after approving it to my finder and it gave me an alert saying that the pck file might not have been in there. I checked, and it was in fact there. I tried a few different things to get it fixed, such as renaming it, and replacing it, as well as a few others but nothing seemed to work even though it seemed there was nothing wrong. I saw the video/trailer for this game, and it seems really fun but I just can't download it.
I hear you! This is an issue we area already aware of and working to fix it. As mac is not a platform we have to easily test on, it's been dificult to resolve it. I would like to invite you to the discord community where you can report issues like this and provide valuable feedback.
I'm happy to let you know that our mac version is finaly working, please make sure it also works for you and if it doesn't lemme know if you have any issues ☺️
:) Thanks
The Angel is pleased <3
Thanks :)
Die 30 more times please
quick question tho did i get the demo ending? or was i supposed to survive longer?
much love
-ascencio
You had to press play once more to reach aboout 70% of the game
gosh darn it :(
very spooky. My mom walked behind me and i punched her in the eye socket out of fear. Now we have a 500$ bill and i'm not allowed to wear headphones. 10/10
For being a demo, this was quite good! Did not managed to beat it due to the generator dying and me not being able to find it lol. But otherwise, solid showcase. Made a video on it.
Hi dude good game, ı want to make simple games can you give me some advice?
Of course mate, I'm working on a discord community for these types of discussions, I'll let you know when it's out!
Show post...
yo its nice to finally see another game from you and its actually pretty scary too lol
/editReally nice to see you playing it and I'm glad you enjoyed it <3 this was definitely my fault and I will change this on the next patch, you are supposed turn on the lights around the house to keep the monster away, this is explained to you in the videos each yime you die.The design flaw is that you are allowed to skip it. I would encourage you to delete the .cfg file and try agai, but don't skip the vides when you die this time.

ooooh ok i had a feeling the lights was important when saw the kitchen lights on and the generator in the basement
Oh ye and the game is beatable 😃
Nice this was really good scary game and I liked it and
you did really good job anyway well done keep it up!
Thank you so much, pelase follow as there'smuch more to come <3
absolutely terrifying game.
I may have played this in the daytime..
Great stuff! <3 I shouldn't mention it but, you are meant to die a coupleof times, as with each time you die, a video will give you hints on how to beat the game, also try the forgivable mode😊
ahhhh that’s a cool idea. i may have to build enough courage and return 🫣
Awesome game!
Thank you <3
