A downloadable game for Windows

This isn't your run of the mill night.

You live with your parents and you've been trying for a job. However, there's a problem.

Your father.

Story:

Because you're trying to make amends through your own hands, you spend some time focusing on working on personal projects and searching for a job. The world is tough, but your family doesn't seem to care.

Your father, the person that was always in charge of putting some bread on the table, is also the person who has been constantly depending on their kids to help him around with his work. Your brother was already a victim of this toxic behavior of his, and now it's, unfortunately, your turn.

Another unfortunate event is the state of your mind. Your rotting core from over the years left you with scars. Are some of the things you're seeing even real?

You could turn him down, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to endure his temperament.

Objective:

The idea is very simple. Your father has the tools scattered around the outside of the house. He is not the most organized guy, so you can expect things to go south if you don't find his tools in time.

The ambience... it also doesn't seem quite right. But, that could be just you.

There are many ways this night could end.

Wanted to make a video on it but the game is confusing and just not polished in so many sections. The game nor the description of this page talks about finding the "entity" which means finding a random orb? Also like you guys don't give a timer for when the dad gets angry other than after he says like 3 lines which you forget to focus on due to the trying to collect the orb and also collect the item. Also why are you randomly hit with slow speed due to your sanity meter(I think) which causes you to lose at the 2nd/3rd time. Unless you are lucky enough to get the hammer first so you aren't affect by the super slow speed for the items at least. Then you realize you have to go half the map to collect the orbs and stuff. But the final thing is when you die you have to literally restart from the beginning and listen to all the ear damaging dialogue (I think the peak should be lower so maybe use a compressor? on audacity). Like I am not against the AI voice and also the music is cool too but like it's too loud and the game doesn't give me a setting to turn it down? Next is the jump scares when you touch the orbs. Like listen before i give my critique on the jump scares as a whole, I don't think they are meant to literally damage your ears. Like yes loud= more scary sometimes. But too loud + high frequency = actual ear damage. Second off it isn't scary after the first time you touch the entity because it's the same noise just different sprite. Like yes I got shook by the loud noise but that's just cause it was literally hurting my ears. I have tried 3-4 times and 15-20 minutes but I just can't get past the first part. I don't like leaving games unfinished but this one might actually be unbeatable without relying on luck.


Edit: You should add demo to the title. Your page literally says "

There are many ways this night could end."

Hi, thank you for taking your time to comment.

I'll try my best to answer to your questions to the best of my ability.

I'm a single person and this demo is my first attempt at creating a videogame. The idea of the game is that you have to rely on time management to make sure you get all the tools and still be able to get all of the entities (which you are correct, they are the orbs that randomly appear on the map). While I agree that my audio work could be a bit better, I made this game with the clear intent to scare the player depending on loud sounds, but the audio being short so it's just enough to scare the player. Maybe in a future update I could implement an audio option, but again, this was just a test, maybe you could rely on the audio of the headphones/PC to turn it down. Also, I didn't use AI at all in the making of this game. The sound is made by a TTS,

In regards of the actual game itself, during these 24 hours, I've seen people beating it and none of them complained about the game being luck based, it's not as hard as it seems. Explore it well. It's a small demo that is supposed to be played multiple times, eventually the full game will have much more content and options once I feel ready to complete this project to the fullest.

In terms of the title, the demo isn't in the name because again, I'll launch the full game, eventually in the future. Finally, I don't know what's wrong with the page. It has a small story and the objectives implemented in it, alongside with that line you just referred. If there's something wrong, definitely it shouldn't be from my part.

Best regards and once again, thank you for your time to criticize my game. I'll strive to get better at it.
