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.
We'll take note of your input regarding the frequency of jumpscares and consider enhancing the storytelling for a more balanced experience in future versions.
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 !
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your positive comments on the story and graphics. We'll take your suggestions into consideration regarding the jumpscares and pacing to create a more cohesive experience. Your input is valuable as we continue to develop the game. Stay tuned for updates, and we hope you'll enjoy the final version!
Thank you for your positive feedback! We appreciate your support and enthusiasm. We'll certainly take a look at the comments in the video to gather more insights. Stay tuned for updates on the full game!
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.
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your insights on pacing, storytelling, and jump scare usage. We'll take your suggestions into consideration for future improvements and strive to create a more engaging and effective horror experience.
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.

The premise of 'Myst of Guatemala' is an interesting concept; following experiments conducted by the US government on poor unsuspecting victims, and the eerie atmospheric 'haunted house on the hill' trope is played well here to begin with, but this is marred by a few too many 'jump scare gotcha' moments that don't really land.
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.
OMG!!!!! I don't know how to express my gratitude to you! Your review was very, very detailed and I've compiled it and sent it to my coworkers to read! Thank you very much for making the video for us, have a nice day~!
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
I'm glad you enjoyed the game! The first-person option added a unique touch, especially considering the controls. It's fantastic to hear that you had a great time playing and experienced some spooks. Thanks for the positive feedback!
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.
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?
I'm thrilled to hear you had a fun experience with the game! As for your question about being dead in the first bathroom, it seems like an intriguing mystery in the game that adds to its appeal. Perhaps further exploration or the game's storyline will shed light on it. Enjoy your gaming adventure!
Way too much reliance on jump scares that aren't very scary. The assets look good, but the way everything is hobbled together it doesn't feel like there's a cohesive narrative.

It can be a pretty bomb game on itch if there are less useless jumpscares
We'll work on reducing the unnecessary jumpscares to enhance the gaming experience on itch. Thanx!
