If you join Mini-jam and make a game, you can post your own game for people to play, BUT ALSO you can say "I'll play your game, and you play mine" to get more people interested in playing.
It's a good way to help each other out. Win win situation.
This was interesting. I'm glad I played this again to get the 2nd ending. I didn't expect the events that occurred in this game which is why I got jump scared. I even got jump scared when I was playing this second time. This is a good game even though it's short. I had a good time playing this. Keep up the good work.
Dayum! So at first I was like, huh the games broken. Then the realization that I have to LOOK AT THEM TO MAKE THEM SLOW! Lord, that felt awesome to discover, truly great work on this! I really hope to see more!
I contemplated making it more obvious but tbh seeing people's brains work was far more rewarding. People often times want the easiest possible thing, instead of the most satisfying thing.
Super scary and really cool art design. Music is awesome and the whole theme is on point. **Make sure to turn down volume to like 40 if you get scared easily (like me)
I want you to know how much I appreciate seeing an actual video of someone playing my game. This is my first fully completed experience and this made me so happy.
Seeing you figure out the Mantis mechanic on the third try was really cool. Thank you for playing my game.

make more short games like this please
I'll be releasing a bit longer follow up to this
Will it involve Cole?
I made a very big poopie in my pants 10/10 game!
I contemplated whether or not I should remove this but... I'll allow it lol.
Really fun, one of my first horror games i have done and this might have gotten me into the genre so please keep it up!
Very cool progression and concept for a survival game. Love to see it.
i cant walk help
You can't walk. What version are you on? Web or Download?
What are you pressing to walk?

Never mind sir when i was playing earlier it was not working but now it is. great game btw
Glad it works now. I'm working on a follow up <3
This is a really cool game :)
I'm working on a new one so stay tuned.
how do I get the good ending I moved the shelf and was still killed
You have to block the other door to that room fast.
really good game! loved all the endings and mostly the creativity behind that the mantis is disguised as a man! very intreseting and fun, keep it up!
The mantis will return >:)
how do you get the troll ending and good ending
SPOILERS AHEAD
The gameplay with bad and worse ending. Go to the my official YouTube channel.
Good job finding both endings!
👍👍👍
Hey man. Please stop it right there.
I understand the desire to make a game, but you really need to not spam on multiple pages looking for help.
If you maybe had a decent library of games you created then messaging some people (but very few) could be a good way to network.
But this is not how you do that.
You are better off posting as a beginner to a subreddit looking for OTHER new people to try and make a simple game.
Maybe join the Mini-Jam would be a good start. You can meet similar people who need teams and are super new.
thanks for the advise
I appreciate you man.
Remember to support your fellow Gamedevs as well.

Hope to see you succeed.
thanks, you too
This game lowk go hard like it scared me lowk so bad i microwaved my goldfish for 3 minutes
Hahaha. You found the troll ending. That's hilarious... the real second ending is still in there.
shit gam
God bless lol. Though to be a little cheeky back. Perhaps your comment could be more enlightening as well?
This is an incredinle game. I really love the creeping horror of the villain. And I love how polished and atmospheric this feels. Great job.
idk how these noises scared me so bad good game tho!
. But i hope to be full time on yt one dayThanks for playing man. Really cool to see people playing in a video too.
(psst there is a new ending btw)
I never made it to the trashcan

the WHAT!? loved it, cannot wait if you make more! <3
Very few horror games actually make me cover my eyes but holy...this one did...
I was hiding in the back and for some reason I decided to turn around when I got the jumpscare I almost shitted myself
Haha I watched so many people do a playthrough and its cool to see so many peoples different choices when stay safe till morning pops up
Very clever and creative name for a horror game. This is a pretty good game.
This was a neat game to play. The concept of a humanoid insect reminds me a lot of Guillermo del Toro's classic film Mimic. The Mantis: You Get Stalked by a Humanoid Insect
That's a huge compliment!
You're very welcome. You did a good job with making this game.
Full Game
Really cool stuff! I left a review being a high and mighty asshole with the stuff I would've liked to see but I hope you keep making these
I read through all of it btw. I thought I replied.
I agree with so much of the message. Really good perspective.
Glad I could give some good feedback :)
I'm always looking for horror games that aren't depraved lol thanks!
And I like the J logo you made after the ps1's style👌
Happy to create one for you. Hope you had a good scare.
I did!
I thought having a mantis dude as a monster makes so much sense you should make another one!!
Itchio for me has been throwing errors on embed content. Might be my browser. A link would be preferable.
It automatically embeds links but maybe it'll work like this: (youtu.be/VspgKUQ4Trg?si=7yCC2Olvo27fvjuq) (I deleted the https part)
Nice short game, like it a lot! But Im wondering why I didn't heard any crying or outside sound.
Probably volume too low but not sure. Perhaps you found a bug?
Pog game, screamed
good game
Nice was interesting.
That monster design was sick af.
Man fr, you mad 😂😂😂 this game is scary asf
this was dope..damn game scared me so much!! props
Super scary and really cool art design. Music is awesome and the whole theme is on point. **Make sure to turn down volume to like 40 if you get scared easily (like me)

Great atmosphere and vibes, loved the ending.
