    ►About the Game -
    The main character is the mother of Andrey Shabanov, who came to take him home for the weekend from the boarding school. At the beginning of the game, you appear in the hall of the school, where everything looks like usual, but for some reason no one met you. As usual...
    GAME FEATURES: the game almost does not use traditional techniques to scare the player. Each person has his own idea of the scary; the Horror component in this game is built on this principle. The well-set sound effects, strange and frightening situations surrounded by oppressive atmosphere, in the absence of a specific visual threat, affect your consciousness which will draw in your imagination exactly those images that scare YOU PERSONALLY!
    Gameplay: The game consists of one medium-sized boarding school. In order to move through the location, you need to look for keys, as well as items that would eliminate obstacles that arise as you progress and prevent you from going further. The storytelling in the game is carried out mainly by notes.

      Not at all. But it was funny in this game as all the rooms were close to one another. Usually the NPCs writing the notes are role played as writing to each other or writing as an alert to the protagonist as he or she makes his/her way through the game in the same direction as the protagonist is heading.

    This was an uninspired dull game. Never explaining what Makar is or why he is doing the things he does. They briefly hint at something sinister with him being found in a forest, and just never build off that. Then when it looks like you might finally confront him, or find the body of your son, it just ends. Just feels like the developers didn't really know how to execute what they thought up. Like they had a great idea on paper, and just no clue how to bring it to life.

    Personally, I think you should call this a Terrible Indie Horror game, sure you got a jump or two and was a little interested in the story, but the game pretty much screams lazy hack job to rip people off, I mean if this was some kid's first game project I'll still be critical cause they asked for money, but considering the credits say "Thanks to my beloved wife..." it means this guy is clearly should be old enough to know better not to make a game this lazily designed. Plus, seeing on steam the reviews are mostly positive by 14 people, I am gonna guess some fake reviews have been made to hopefully give the game some additional attention.

    Minor note since it was easy enough to force through, but pretty sure those colored numbers for the code were in relation to the map (first four rooms had colors to show you the order to input the code).
    I've definitely seen worse horror games, but there certainly wasn't a ton of substance or anything inventive at all either. If it were free all would be forgiven (or at least understandable), but when you have to pay for such a short experience, I say that makes it drop significantly in ratings and definitely wouldn't pick it up myself.

Like all kids died, then how did he ? He was big like a teenager or young adult college age. Omg those poor boys had to lose their lives. No one to feed them. Where is the chef ? Like more of what occured needs to be revealed. This keft my mind freaked up. You was right when you checked the toilets. It has potential if they just added to the story & time, etc. I hope they do. I hope they can.
