8 itemsAbout the Game
You wake up among the trees. Your head hurts and it's cold here. You see you bag on the grass, you pick it up, empty... All this feels like a bad dream. But it's not a dream.
Idea
Do you remember those horror flash games? Early quests? Well this is the idea.
Nowadays everyone wants to sell games with ultra-high graphics, which requires a lot of DLC to get a well-made game.
But we want to bring you a story. A story that you can feel without super graphics or paying a lot of money. We want you to go through the game interested and thrilled.
We hope you like this game, so we could encourage ourselves to make the second part.
Hints
A bullet can save you or trap you, use it wisely!
If you're confused about the story, maybe you can find an answer in a chest.
Your actions may lead you to a dead end.
Don't forget to save, there is no autosave (old times!)
Don't be afraid to start over again.
