This was an insanely cool experience which stands on it's own even for a demo. It had really nice production value as too, which assisted in making it stand out. The entire time I felt like I was experiencing the world through the eyes of a B-Movie Horror protagonist (in the best possible way)! I can't wait to see more from Tainted Pact Games!
(START AT 11:56-46:16) The game looked wonderful but there was a guy... No, wait that is not the right word. There was this monster who kept tormenting me and forced me to do weird things on the computer. GG!!!
This was one of the creepiest games I have played so far this year, and really excited for the full release! I was a little stumped at the end of the game, but it was a blast the whole time! Check out the playthrough below!
Dude, I LOVE this game! I watched almost every playthrough on YouTube and even played the demo myself twice now (the second time was so I could appreciate the work put into the design). The story is great so far! I love the dread feeling that you have to play the game AND keep a lookout for the mysterious man. I can't wait to see what's in store for Stacey and what the mysterious man is going to do. Also, kudos to the voice actors! They did an amazing job.
I did come across a few bugs in the game that I wanted to let you know about:
1. The most common one is where you're on the computer and he breaks the glass downstairs. If I click to get up, it either blacks out or there's a robotic model out of the map.
2. I played the game twice and noticed that during my second run, the window was already boarded up from the first playthrough when I got to the glass-breaking moment. Basically, I couldn't get the wooden planks and nails in the garage because they were gone. The dialogue said that I still had to do it, though.
Those were the only bugs I came across so far!
Mind if I offer a suggestion? It would be helpful to add a font resize option, or just enlarge the font size for the radio broadcasts and also for character dialogue. Even with glasses, I had a hard time reading some of it.
Btw, I noticed there's a full design of Stacey based on the shadows, which is really neat! Are we going to see more of what she looks like? I hope so!
But, yeah! Great job on this game. I'm really looking forward to the full release! :)
Thank you for all your kind words! I'm thrilled you enjoyed the game. Also thank you for the bug report. I have fixed the first bug you mention for the full release. As for the second one, it looks like when you started a new game it did not sterilize the save you had from the first playthrough so some saved triggers/files got carried over. I'll have to look into why that happened.
Without a doubt, one of the best horror indie games you can find. Which is really saying something because this game is still only a demo. Will definitely be playing the full release. (My review of the game is at the end of my 2nd video)
Absolutely loved this demo!! The only thing that messed me up was the amount of reading. It began to drag a bit until the creepiness of the killer getting closer drew me back in. Overall I loved what you created with this game and I cant wait to play the full version!
This game looked really nice and the voice acting was pretty good. It was super scary and a unique experience. some times the game was a bit laggy. And if that got fixed then the game would be really really nice. Can’t wait for more!
It was mostly at the beginning when she was getting out of bed. It took a second for some of the texters to load in as well. I'm using a second computer to record so I don't think I should be having issues unless my gaming PC's CPU is just absolutely awful.
as someone who is dyslexic i struggled with this game. i did enjoy it but the reading was way to much. i also got to the end with the chest and didn't have the key, no idea how to get it so just didnt finsh the game. pretty frustrating not knowing how to get the key. i know this is a me problem but just thought id share my experience.
Hey Hex, When I was making this demo I knew some people would have issues with all the reading. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea but I had an idea and wanted to see it through. I am sorry you struggled, but I am incredibly grateful you still gave it a shot. The key to the chest is found on the corpse that is hanging from the torture device. If you search there you will find it.
That demo was neat! Like a whole game already :D Saw a lot of influences from different horror games/movies, and love it! That area with couch, TV, and horror cassettes, I just fell in love with it. My little dream is to have a corner like that, for my horror binge watching ^^
Also love the moment with window and hand on glass :3 was amazing!
SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU TAINTED PACT GAMES for making this interesting game, though I do believe I found a glitch/broke the game (seen in the video) Still love the text based games with added graphics it's actually a neat idea, not my first game to have this style but yours is much smoother.
Ahh I see what happened there interesting little bug. Thank you for reporting that I'll definitely get that fixed. Thanks for the playthrough! I'm watching it right now.
Thanks my friend, yeah the bug happened just as the glass smashed, not sure why it happened but it was weird being outside under a large robot mannequin. Still if you want to chat about your game more hit me up on my discord, I want many devs coming there and showing their games.
Game looks fun, I wouldn't know. Couldn't get past the computer. Oh, I see the password on the back of the notebook, but no matter what I type, it doesn't work.
Pro tip: add some acessibility options, like, say, readable text. It's 2022, these kinds of things should be expected. And it's not the only instance either, as soon as the game started I noticed the font; great for style, terrible for reading, which is the main purpose of text I believe.
Even the objectives thingy when I press Q, I can barely read. Please, PLEASE, do something about that. Thank you. Hopefully I can play the game one day.
yooo i saw a playthrough of this game and wanted to ask if you used music from scp containment breach ? cause i heard one of the tracks near the end of the demo xD just wondering :] cause i asked one of the composers for thegame on discord about his music (his name is firefox) and he said his music isnt free for use ^^'' wantedto be sure lmao
Heya, 90% of the music in the demo is written by me. The only one that is not is a background ambient track that I purchased the rights to use from the unreal marketplace.
oh ok xD was just curiouss cause it sounds exactly like the track from scp:cb lmao its the ambient track that plays near the end of the game when that guy in the game you play wakes up and looks at the main character lol was that from the unreal marketplace ? cause then someone is tryin to make money off of firefoxs work (idk how the unreal maretplace workss xP) i will update him on your response ^_~

Heya Bux Thanks for you video :)
BEST GAME OF THE YEAR!
What an amazing experience. Great work I can’t wait for full game! Keep up the good work👍🏾👍🏾
This game looked really nice and the voice acting was pretty good. It was super scary and a unique experience. some times the game was a bit laggy. And if that got fixed then the game would be really really nice. Can’t wait for more!
Heya DNA thanks for the video. The game should be pretty optimized which parts did you experience lag?
It was mostly at the beginning when she was getting out of bed. It took a second for some of the texters to load in as well. I'm using a second computer to record so I don't think I should be having issues unless my gaming PC's CPU is just absolutely awful.

The atmosphere in this game is amazing! While on the computer any little sound had me looking over my shoulder constantly!
Hey, Yurei thanks for your video! Glad you enjoyed the atmosphere :)
Great demo! Really fun and scary as hell! I'm a bit of a moron so some aspects of it were lost on me at first but...I got there!
Thank you for the playthrough! Glad you enjoyed it :)
That demo was neat! Like a whole game already :D Saw a lot of influences from different horror games/movies, and love it! That area with couch, TV, and horror cassettes, I just fell in love with it. My little dream is to have a corner like that, for my horror binge watching ^^

Heya vashido! I really enjoy the video thanks for posting it :) Glad you enjoyed the demo! I built the house as my dream house hahaha
Ahh I see what happened there interesting little bug. Thank you for reporting that I'll definitely get that fixed. Thanks for the playthrough! I'm watching it right now.

Yea I was looking over the code today I found the problem. It was a quick fix. But yea shoot me your discord.

Thank you, Skyler!
Super creepy! I really liked it, so did my audience!
I'm very excited for the full release

Heya Btown! Thanks for the video!

Really cool game

The password is Ech Pi El
I encountered the same thing too, atmosphere seems great and optimization is fantastic but the font is unreadable
Oh man this was a good one! I loved Weeping Falls Massacre and this one is just as good if not better!
Thank you for playing my games and making lets play videos!
love it so much
Heya thank you hydrax :)
yooo i saw a playthrough of this game and wanted to ask if you used music from scp containment breach ? cause i heard one of the tracks near the end of the demo xD just wondering :] cause i asked one of the composers for thegame on discord about his music (his name is firefox) and he said his music isnt free for use ^^'' wantedto be sure lmao

Can't wait for the full release.
Thank you :)
Okay, I recognize the voice of the guy on the weather report but I can’t remember the VA’s name.
haha the weather guy? its text to speech :p
No, I think it’s someone I listen to on YouTube reading Reddit stories or true crime stories, but I need figure out which one.
Then again, even for a demo there should be a cast list. Stacey Liden definitely was a voice actor.
Oh there is on the title screen there is a credit button its lists the voice actors.
ahh. Sorry. I just watched some play throughs.
If it’s RaxArcade, he sounds a bit like Andrew from the Scary Mysteries channel on YouTube (it took me a couple of minutes to track it down).
Or my headache has messed up my auditory processing.
Thanks again CJU!
SPOOKY
Absolutely loved it! I'm very much looking forward to the full game.
Thanks, CJU! I hope you did a playthrough I always love watching them!
I'm editing it all together now so you should see it within a day or so.
Awesome can't wait!
No-commentary playthrough:
Awesome demo! Love the way you incorporated the old school text-based game into such an intense situation. Looking forward to the full release!Thank you for the playthrough :) glad you enjoyed it
