Barking down the wrong tree...

Thank you! :)
Loved the story and the unique art of this game! Great work!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
The puzzle-solving in this game was fantastic, and the art style is crazy amazing!!! 10/10!!!
Thank you, glad you liked it!
I really liked it, the voice acting, visuals and the story sounds great! The only issue I personally had was that the mouse felt awkward to control, I assume it would be better with the controller but with mouse it was a bit annoying imo, aside that I enjoyed it a lot, looking forward to the full game, good work :)
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it! :) And yeah I originally designed it with controllers in mind, but will definitely be reworking that in the future - thanks for the feedback!
Thank you! Really enjoyed your playthrough and glad you liked it!
Oh boy what an experience! AMAZING GAME!
+ The art-style is very lovely and detailed, a lot of work has been put into this
+ Very innovative start with the TV and making choices
+ fresh idea concept of a Horror Puzzle game with important choices is very good
+ the minigames were well thought out and quite enjoyable and rewarding
+ music was well fitting, exciting at the right times and overall suspenseful
+ dialogue between the characters seem real and not forced
+ Davis is a pretty tough cool guy man what an awesome character
+ im very excited how the story plays out after ... was teasered!!
- The camera and character movement seems very rigid and hard, I would recommend a third person view, the map is already layed out and it would be easier to control
- The voice acting seems a bit off, in certain moments where the character shouzld be surprised or sad, the voice over was a bit dull and emotionless
+++ overall amazing experience which I will continue keeping an eye on
I made a playthrough of this game:
