A Hilarious Alien Horror Game. Rating is (5.8/10) But all jokes aside let's talk about the game.
(LOTS of Bugs): Randomly being kicked out of your van, The abyss at the river side, Audio glitches all over(Car going at high speed and also the TV), The entire world changes if you exit your car in the wrong way.
(Btw you should tell the player inside the game that they can bring up the phone by right clicking)
Story : None (I really don't understand the people who say this game has "great" story. If this is great then "The Quarry" is peak fiction.
Visuals: For the love of god please add a setting to remove the CRT. Also I would suggest to balance the gamma and the lift so everything isn't neutral or at least give the player a gamma control setting
Jumpscares: Now again I don't know if it was intentionally meant to be funny or not but if those jumpscares are meant to be scary then I don't even know what to say. Either way this game isn't really a horror game. Even if let's say this game was meant to be a horror game with those jumpscares and let's for a second ignore how bad it is. This entire game's horror element are just those two jumpscares and one shadow figure. Like the shadow figure thing wasn't bad but again that's the only thing this game has to offer.
Atmosphere: This game has nonexistent horror atmosphere. General atmosphere is great like in the sense of if we are talking about the scenery.
I should say that the drunk visuals was pretty good and the music that was used on that part of the game
Listen I know the public reception on this game has been great and most of the reviewers are positive on this game and the "story". But I just have to be fully honest. This game is not great nor good. It's a very poor execution for a first episode of a series. This is the reason why I think the itch io community being positive on every game on this site no matter if it's poor or great is bad. To be fair most of the game in itch io is slop so when a little bit better game comes out people start calling it a "great game". But as I was saying calling a bad game "great" gives the game developer a mentality that their games are actually good and that puts them in a cycle where they think they just make endless itch io slop games with slight improvements per project. Because they think their game is good. I acknowledge that you are actively trying to get feedback and fix bugs but this game won't reach a good level even if you fix all the bugs. Again I am writing this review in the mindset that you think this game is great but that might not be the case. Hopefully you take all this criticism properly rather than being blinded by all the positive comments. But yeah on the final note and advice you are probably a new game dev like many other in itch.io. Acknowledge this game is very bad (not 4 stars bad*) and see how you can improve for future projects (or not this series) (Also your trailer isn't really a trailer, It's very messy and doesn't get the message across that this is even a video game. I'm not saying the style of trailer you wanted to make is itself wrong but if you want to make a trailer in that style then you need a way bigger trailer and better cuts and better music sorting and in general better music. Your trailer music itself ignoring the bad parts makes it sound like it's one of those supermarket simulator games.
If you need someone to make a trailer, you can reach out to me. No cost of course*.I will say I don't have any experience with making trailers and in terms of quality it will probably be around a 5.5/10 to 6.0/10 but better than nothing I guess.
I liked your style about this game. It reminds me of the fear to fathom series. I think I had some minor bug in the end, being cought between a cinematic and the actual gameplay, but it played out well in the end :)
Played live on stream and enjoyed it plenty! Thank you for making this. Vibes were immaculate and the story was interesting. I hope to see part two soon!
This was such a cool horror game! Not too many horror games feature aliens so I'm glad to see this! Loved the atmosphere, the scares, and the driving! The driving was lot of fun! Can't wait for the next story!
This was an interesting game to play, you don't see a lot of indie horror games with aliens in it. I like the fact that you can drive around and ram the other cars. The aliens and seeing the spaceship over the lake was freaky to me. A weird thing that happen to me was the perspective changed when driving around, the world would be in an angle. This game was alright to play I give this game a 4.5/5
Hello! Very excited to play this on my Mac but I was unable to get past the main screen. I know you just released it 4 hours ago but I figured I would mention it anyway. Thanks!
Thanks for the feedback! We’ll investigate the issue and work on a fix. A new updated release will be available soon! and the link for the MAC download will be available soon too.
This was an awesome game my dude! Great story and graphics, really good immersion and sound scape. The driving was fun, I noticed the working speedometer, pretty sweet! The tasks were simple enough and the atmosphere great throughout it all! The tension kept building nicely until that ending! I had fun and enjoyed, I recommend completely! Here is my gameplay video, sub and help my channel grow everyone :)
Honestly a really cool short horror game! I don't think there are enough alien type scary games so always excited when one pops up! Great job and looking forward to more!
Looks pretty nice, but there is some bugs: - If my controller is connected, i keep looking in up left corner. (Not a big deal)
- Car rev sounds keep repeating when max speed (annoying :D)
- Got softlocked (Can't move) when threw the trash from garage to the big trash can thing (After dropping the bag to the room, before going to shower).
Thanks for letting us know! The issue with getting stuck while throwing trash has been fixed (1.13v). As for Level 2, according to the story, your character is indeed too tired to pick up trash and clean—it's part of the narrative. Appreciate your understanding and feedback!
I played the game today and unfortunately I'm still encountering the same bug. I got stuck at the pile of trash by the car I wanted to throw into the large dumpster. Can't move the character.
We've uploaded the latest version v1.15, which is more stable and contains the fewest bugs so far. Please try downloading it again. Some videos in the comments from the past day clearly show that the issue of getting stuck while throwing trash has been resolved (FoShoShot -video from 1.14v). Thank you for your attention! Please let me know if the problem is resolved or not.
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! We've identified and fixed (in 1.12v) the bug causing the character to freeze when picking up trash. Please update the game to the latest version, and everything should work smoothly now. We truly appreciate your patience and feedback—it helps us improve the game for everyone. Let us know if you encounter any other issues!
Nice work! It's a little buggy but feels like a shorter version of Fears to Fathom, good mix of tension and gameplay. Keep up the great work, looking forward to the next chapters if you continue working at it!
A good game, congratulations to the creators of this game, the story is very good, I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel please, thank you, happy holidays, greetings from Spain
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the game and its story—it means a lot to us. We'll definitely check out your channel. Happy holidays to you as well, and greetings from our team! 🎉😊
Hi, I was recording gameplay on the channel and a bug trapped me in the dumpster, preventing me from progressing in the game (end of video). I hope the recording helps with the correction. Ps: I know it's difficult but it would be wonderful if there were subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese.

A very fun game and I can't wait for more from you :)
I plan to add localization for multiple languages in the future, but it might take some time.
ok, thanks my frien
Very cool game, good gameplay and story, plus, the graphics really surprised me. Easily an 8/10.
The next game is about a quarter complete—don’t forget to check back from time to time! It would be a pleasure to hear from you again. 😉
I liked the story and atmosphere. Minor bugs in it but not too distracting. Great first episode!
The gameplay was very good, great story in this game. Looking forward to what you have coming up next!
Goood, walau lagi mabuk dia tetap gagal di culik.
I liked your style about this game.
It reminds me of the fear to fathom series.
I think I had some minor bug in the end, being cought between a cinematic and the actual gameplay, but it played out well in the end :)
Thanks for your comments and the video! We're working hard to fix bugs and make the game even better.👍

Did I get abducted by aliens?? | Fear the Unknown : Dave Story
This was an interesting game to play, you don't see a lot of indie horror games with aliens in it. I like the fact that you can drive around and ram the other cars.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! The issue with camera rotation has been fixed, Appreciate your feedback!
Amazing game! I played this live on stream and you won't belive the reactions it got! also it was part of my 3 random horror games series
Looks pretty nice, but there is some bugs:

- Car rev sounds keep repeating when max speed (annoying :D)
- Got softlocked (Can't move) when threw the trash from garage to the big trash can thing (After dropping the bag to the room, before going to shower).
But aside from bugs, game looks good :)
