What a great game! I love playing golf games but I am not that good at them. Well, Hole 8 made me realize how much more TENSE this can be! Can't wait to check out the next 9 holes!
Such a cool concept for a game!
OMG LOVED this game and this first time i was actually scared or stressed from a game
Brilliant idea for a game, satisfying gameplay, genuenely scary.
I'm genuinely not sure what to say about this game, but I will say it's one of the most effective horror experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
The first encounter genuinely almost gave me a heart attack, the sound design and buildup is so perfect, and it was so unexpected.
You've created an utter masterpiece!
A perfect example of scary and stressful gaming! Incredible game
There is a bug where if you die to a stalker during the transition from Forest 2 to the final boss then you get teleported back to Forest 2 blister and then into the boss fight (I thought this was a secret until I died after popping the blister and then realizing it's a save state).
Also secondly, does anyone know how to get the "grab a pearl" achievement? The van song mentions destroying a pearl and walking on the ocean but I don't know if that's connected
Its on hole 4. Follow the course until you see a bunch of large rocks by the shore. You have to jump on the smaller rocks until you reach the furthest rock. The pearl is on the other end of the last rock.
Of course you need to unlock jumping by getting the hole in one achievement
Played this with my friends today after I saw it in the Jacob Geller video recently, and even though I already knew the premise, this game was so so so so horrifying. We play horror games on occasion and I don't remember a game ever getting a reaction out of us like that. I honestly found the end a bit too stressful, because there was so much stuff to manage that it became kind of paralyzing and felt quite punishing to try at that point, but still the main mechanic and everything about the idea of this game is so absolutely amazing, this immediately became one of my favourite horror games! I am so genuinely in awe of this game, I love it so much.
Downloaded the game and played it on stream, I'm getting so used to horror games and I thought this game had a cool concept and it should not scare me. I was wrong haha, such a simple concept yet it's still very effective and I haven't felt stressed out that much in a long time! Please consider donating to the developer, we need more cool games like this one! <3
Great game so far but on Forest 2 im getting locked after destroying the blister. if i die the game loads into a black screen and the pause menu does not work. any ideas for a fix? thanks
such a unique experience this was! great job on the concept, lol (:
banger game, please get me to 1000 subscribers love ;)
my jaw just kept fking dropping this was so amazing dude
Amazing game, any chance for a Steam release?
Came here from Jacob Geller, legitimately one of the scariest horror games I've played in a while. The first time the monster that follows you shows up is really scary, and while in the Dark Forest I was constantly thinking "I hope none of those guys show up" and then they did. But I like how up until then you were completely powerless, and then suddenly you can kill the monsters. So it does hint at there being a way to fight back. And then you actually face the boss.
when is there a part 2 this game is amazing
jacob geller brought me here, this is a fantastic game! linux build worked well, a couple stutters at points when it seemed like a lot of things were rendering, but was extremely playable and had a blast playing it. thank you! :)
still playing this game..how do i keep from getting KILLED everytime i TEE OFF??
HELPyou have to keep looking at them. If you look away they get closer. You cant run away because they are faster.
This fact that this game is free is a damn steal, thank you for that
this was amazing, keep up the great work!
This game is just fantastic, it's honestly a crime it's free, it has cool visuals, cool gameplay, VERY unsetteling aesthetic before evem anything happens and just overall gud
It's "name your price," you can pay if you're able to
This game is genuinely terrifying, made sure I came back to donate after finishing it, I can't believe this combination works as well as it does!
thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
I discovered a way to softlock yourself
if you throw the ball backwards and score a hole in the previous course it will count as you clearing the current course, but the next area won't unlock, and you will become stuck
(I don't know any golf terminology, sorry)
this is the same feeling as someone looking over your shoulder as you draw
might blow up now
fffffffffffffffffff
Phenomenal game. One of the scariest things I've played in years.
Initially I was having the issue where the movement keys and mouse were locking up and stuttering, but I fixed this by unplugging my controller from my computer. It seemed to be competing with my mouse/keyboard for inputs even though it was not in use.
Hopefully that helps people having similar issues.
I liked the game but I am not very good at golf LOL
Love from Italy, great work!
ah man...i unlocked past the last hole and i went to walk my dog and quit to the main menu and it kicks me back to hole 9 :( amazing game tho! I turned off enemies so I could finish it, couldn't deal with those last holes again haha toooo scary
Absolutely terrifying, lmao. Would 100% recommend
This game looks beautiful.
Loved every minute of it right before the end lol.
Not a huge fan of the game but it was scary. It promises and delivers what you want. I stopped before continuing and watched the gameplay. I am a huge fan of your style and general content ehm so I didn´t know you made games?!? Excuse me I am offended that you're not making more! Give us more! So I must say I would recommend it in a heartbeat to anyone.
the movement was a bit difficult but yes, I will shit myself tonight
9/10 Selsas from me
i hate this game so much. 10/10, 5 stars ❤️
