Hey guys hope ya'll enjoy the video as much as i enjoyed the game! 

So, main thing for me is that there was an intro about a very serious topic and then suddenly I was just bombarded with dolls. Like, it felt sort of disconnected from the plot immediately after actually starting the gameplay. I do like the visuals and some of the jumpscares did succeed on giving me heart attacks, but all the dolls were a bit too much after a while. Promising, but it definitely needs tweaks. Will definitely give it another shot if there is a major update though, specially cause I do love the idea of the Gamekit you guys are working on.

For being a demo, this was not bad at all. Like others said possibly tone down the jump scares a tad bit. Other than that, not bad. Made a video on it.

I think the overall horror atmosphere is very good. i'm looking forward to the full version. it was fun!

Definitely needs worked on but you've got a good concept/idea. The sound and visual design is good, the story is appropriately fluffed up, just remove the random props that don't seem to fit the mood (robot wolf head by the cellar door) and severely tone down the frequency of the jumpscares. Interested to see how this gets refined in future builds.

this game looks great i cant wait to share this with the Twodays Family they will love it!

The moment I saw this I had to look twice. But wow! It really does say Guatemala in the title. I'm Guatemalan and have come to terms with the fact we're rarely in media, so this is super exciting. I can't wait to play. 

The demo provides qualified sound and visual art. The jumpscares were really thrilling, and there were a little too many of them. I think it would be better if more effort could have been done in story telling.

I have a few things I really like about the demo and a few things that could use some work. First is the story . I had no idea about The Guatemala Syphilis Experiment so I looked it up and learned some history from this game . Very sad history but I am glad that I now know about it ! That being said, I found myself giggling a lot with all the silly jumpscares . One or two can be great but with such a serious, sad premise for this game I feel like all the jumpscares adds a goofiness that should not be there. Either make it more of a light hearted story that isn't based on true events ., make it more of a comedy horror game or take out some of the jumpscares and fix the pacing ?

The graphics are good . The environment is good. Its a solid demo . I think with a lot of work and a little more story planning the full game will be very enjoyable ! Looking forward to seeing what this game becomes !

Really enjoyed the premise of this so far! Keep up the great work, and I look very forward to a full game! Few other comments in the video below!

Great horror game!!!!

Love all the lil jumpscares lol

I think the gentleman below me is a being a bit harsh. In the end, a game is meant to be played for fun. I enjoyed the goofiness, it reminded me of a haunted house that someone put together. However, the story at the beginning compared to the game content is jarring... but I'm sure you'll get it. Keep it up!

What is this goofy nonsense? Did the playtesters have ADHD? Why is it necessary to have some haunted house prop or Halloween City decoration pop up in front of the player every ten to fifteen seconds? Would we get bored otherwise?

It's a shame as the technical chops are reasonably good. Good menu, good performance, good looking assets. None of that makes up for bad pacing, bad story telling and no idea what actually scares, rather than merely startles people, however.

Jumpscares are not something to spam the player with, they're best used sparingly, only after long periods of building tension. If it's just one after another, they lose their impact very rapidly. I don't mean to come off as rude but this was an insultingly bad experience, and it didn't need to be given you obviously have proficiency with the software.

Maybe study some well regarded horror films, focusing not just on imagery but the anatomy of a well told horror story, before taking another crack at this genre.

I just wanted to find my friend

Enjoyed the game, cant wait to see where it goes in the future.

Fun And Scary Game Thanks For Asking Me To Play 

Fun game. Couldn't catch my breath there xD

im going to be very honesty, this is not good at all, i will say the game is entertaining, but the jump scares are terrible and are not scary in the slightest. i couldnt be bothered  finish the game because my flash light kept bugging out and not turning on. i also had it where i coudlnt light the candles. i think the game looks nice but thats about it. 

HA! These spiders can move! The style of this game is so awesome! It’s a great game overall!

The opening cinematic is slick and polished, getting the player into the right frame of mind, even though the text flies by too quickly.  

I think if all the doll creatures/weird rabbit thing coming up from the ground at the entrance to the basement/spooky maid girl/skeletons placed haphazardly around the starting segment were scaled down to elevate tension and the lore of the experiments was touched on more, this would invest the player's into the world a lot more. The AI voice of the main protagonist is quite wooden and brings the payer out of the scene...

The study room section was by far the strongest chapter - the puzzle solving and hiding elements were synced well, but think this was another opportunity where the player could have found out more about the experiments.

Pros:

• Great sound design - the lightning, floorboard creaking, basement noises all combine for an unsettling experience
• Opening cinematic and subsequent theme is interesting and hopefully this is expanded further in the main game
• Puzzle mechanics including melting wax of the picture and hiding mechanics are a great compliment to what can achieved in Yahaha studio 

Cons: 

• Text flies by too quickly in opening cinematic - needs to be slowed down so the player can become immersed in the experience
• Too many goofy jumpscares using assets found in other games
• AI voice of main protagonist is too stilted and robotic.

cool game i enjoyed it! but there were too many cute things, like this... not creepy at all

This game was definitely very interesting. I really appreciate the ability to go into first person because the controls can be a bit wonky in the third person view. Regardless I had a great time playing this game, and had my fair share of spooks. Great work

im really a bad hider

Had a really good time with this game! The melting pic is interesting.

Hurry up and release more plot-related stuff! I want to know what the American government has been up to.

First of all, This horror game provides a terrifying experience, successfully creating a tense and thrilling atmosphere through carefully designed plot and horror elements. The game's sound effects and visual effects are outstanding, allowing players to immerse themselves and enhance the sense of horror in the game. In addition, the game's storyline is cleverly designed, creating strong curiosity and tension for the players, thereby increasing the game's appeal. Overall, this horror game brings players a thrilling and tense gaming experience, making it an excellent work worth trying.

Thank you very much for recommending me this! I cannot wait to see more of this game. Some very spooky moments! I made a video! I hope you enjoy! 

SUCH A FUN EXPERIENCE!! Im craving more! this game has so much future potential I feel! HIGHLY Recommend! But just one question, why am i dead in the first bathroom?

It can be a pretty bomb game on itch if there are less useless jumpscares
