Glad to see a horror game with no sudden loud jumpscare and still scares the hell out of me! And the artstyle and sound effects fit into the story so well. Love it!

is this rpgm unite?

I am absolutely obsessed with this game! This is one of the best visual novels I've read and I can't wait to show it to my friends! Because they have to see it... I'm not the only one who sees it... right?

This was a really well crafted story! With how the psyche of someone can change as well as mixing it with the supernatural, it was just so really cool to see such themes melded together!

Only two parts of the story seemed to drag a little bit and that was because it took way too long to find the things, so maybe having some indication of how close you are to a thing could help. (Also some explanation on the spider as well, I think, would have added more to the story? It really changes from an eye to a spider that then just blinks out of reality? Don't get me wrong, it is a cool story and is really great, but it also seems a bit different and changed as it goes along and I don't know, it might just be me.)

But overall, you have crafted a great story and I enjoyed playing it thoroughly! Great job on it and good luck on future projects!

The visuals are great, I really liked the visual displays of Vivian's general well being along side of the narrative signs of her worsening mentality. 

You did a really great job on this game! 

Interesting Visual Novel! The mood was great and the slow spiraling of Vivians mental state was conveyed really well.

i generally don't care too much about eldritch horror, but this game really got me to play it through to the end..i love just how empty it feels, vivian slowly going mad about a random spot in the sky

the art was great and it all being a different aspect ratio from your average monitor just made it feel more special in a way

the sound effects during the binocular segment were great and i wish i had like..a creepy ambient ost from it

i will say though, i was very confused by the ending

Stares Back had a really unique vibe, good pacing and storytelling.  I did maybe spend too much time "looking around" but that was suspenseful.

Her face really conveyed what was going on in her mind.

I actually really enjoyed this and the ending was really creepy well done

I'm a big fan of eldritch horror, and this hit perfect. Her obsession slowly turning manic feels so tangible, and visually it's really good. Do you have a gallery of your artwork by any chance?

Pretty creepy.

Very dark and interesting plot.

really love this game, love the stargazing part and the way  it's presented was really awesome, it feels like. I'm watching a movie.

Really enjoyed the writing for this game so much!! Love how it really builds up the unsettling aspects of the story! And the art added so much to that aspect too! <3

Hey! I was wondering if you’d like your game to be localised to Portuguese. If so, let me know!

cries this game jumpscared me twice
how could you be so cruel???

Really, though, this was a great experience! The story is tight and well-paced, the interactive segments really add to it (and are pretty disturbing; especially the segment w/ the binoculars), and the sound effects are very unsettling. The vibes of this story are immaculate.

Oh, and I thought the art style was familiar... I checked your page, and you did Don't Die Alone, which was one of my fav entries in last year's Spooktober. I think this one might shape up to be a fav too; it's very atmospheric!

You're so good at telling unsettling stories! I think you did a great job!
