Great game, that story was actually really gripping and I felt so bad for the kid. Would you be in any need of a voice actor? I'd love to work with you.
This has got to be one of the most saddest games I have ever played, throughout the game it is based on one's perception as to what is really going on, really deep stuff
i know the Disk Horse is old lol but i like this game(/'experience'?) and wanna talk abt it anyways. i think that a lot lot lot of this is heavily within a *childs* perspective. other people have mentioned that everything from the speed of the character to her height implies her youth, but it is also written directly from her mind. i was abused since as far back as i can remember, and when youre raised in abuse, all you know *is* abuse. it is normal to you. it takes a LOT to realize what is happening, what's wrong. i dont see a reason for the story to remove itself from the childs perspective, it is supposed to disturb specifically BC its from a childs perspective... i think it would detract from the story to make the abuse more "obvious" to the audience within the narrative - esp bc it isn't exactly subtle to begin with, imo.
i think art has the right to disgust, has the right to ugliness, and it doesnt need to justify itself. i dont agree w the comments saying this is cheap shock horror. you-the-audience, a presumable adult, likely realizes what is happening before the end. you should be horrified by the childs lack of agency, by *your* lack of agency. the child doesnt need to understand what is happening to her, bc the dramatic irony is PRECISELY part of the horror. it isnt just one singular line that's meant to disgust you, the entire story is.
what else... i personally like "walking simulators" so i dont mind the way this story is expressed. i think some of the nightmares are confusing to solve, though. there is a ton of subtle cues as well - the belt sound effect for one. everything comes together to make something cohesive as long as youre paying attention ^^
This was really an amazing story and game. The build up and tension was great the entire time. The story itself was very disturbing and the subject matter was handled very well. 10/10
that ending, that ending was disgusting o my god i hate it i damn hate it, the game is good, and is well done, even the dark meaning but... oh my god- that was- digustly disturbing?
i didn't get the true ending first so it just hit so much harder having it be the second playthrough ): remarkable story telling experience, and the dreams were really well done! i also appreciate the gameplay loop isn't too repetitive, as if we had to do those extra three days, i'd be bored by the ending, so good call there. kudos!
Although this game may not be for everyone, I think it was very well done, for the story it is putting across I think it was handled very well and created horror in a different way than expected but by so much more. All in all a good game that is very sad.
For a game that is about sexual abuse, I do believe the execution could've been done a little bit differently (especially story-wise), but overall, it does make you feel pitiful for the girl who literally has people she can't rely on
my main problem with the game was...how to put it: When the girl was deciding whether she should take the pills or not, I thought it would've been better if there was a scene of the father mistreating the girl, making her start to question if she should really trust him or not. I didn't really see the dad just not being home as a reason to her making that choice.
But alas that could just me, I still loved the overall execution of the game and I have no complaints about how the game dev was doing this stuff for "shock value", because the childhood abuse was represented pretty decently and I believe this was made with good intentions in mind
Thats kinda of the purpose of the game, it doesn't want you to know immeadiatly whats going on, the tittle of the game speaks for itself "my eyes deceive" it(the game) wants you to be fooled by the fact that her father is "protecting" her just because he didn't do anything seemingly bad for the marjority of the game, maybe thats just my thought on it but i wanted to share my opnion.
I loves this. It felt very real and tension-like-scary. I love how the whole thing can also be interpreted how you'd like. Great game, and I can't wait to see what else you make!
This game is fucking awful. It’s so slow, tedious and boring with atrocious graphics. The second night i couldn’t even figure out where the fuck to go because it was so dark and it kept leading to dead ends - that’s how bad the graphics are. Not only that but the only interesting thing is the plot twist; if it wasn’t for the shock value of the father raping the daughter, I don’t this game would have the traction it does because HOLY SHIT is this so fucking boring and awful.
this game literally just uses shock content for the sake of it. the game had no buildup, no reason for me to trust the father, it was obvious he was the villain all along, this game is stupid, you just dont seem to get it.

Pretty good
Very Disturbing Game with a sad ending. Fucked up how such things actually happen irl.

Are there differences between the itch and Steam releases?
This was really an amazing story and game. The build up and tension was great the entire time. The story itself was very disturbing and the subject matter was handled very well. 10/10
Here's my gameplay of it:
Can you make it available for Android? Ty!

it's actually based on a real-life case in 2008 the Fritzl case. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=71d58ddbbbd51a55JmltdHM9MTcwODIxNDQwMCZpZ3VpZD0yZ...
oh, my apologies for being a bit ignorant of that

yeah, true
I totally agree with that not gonna lie
thank you for sharing your opinion :3
(It's just hard sometimes for me to interpret works haha...but i understand. Everyone has different opinions and mines was probably pretty wrong.)
Hi, I'd like to volunteer to translate your game from English into Brazilian Portuguese.
I loves this. It felt very real and tension-like-scary. I love how the whole thing can also be interpreted how you'd like. Great game, and I can't wait to see what else you make!
Here's my playthrough if anyone wants to see:
Interesting game, courious and shocking plot. A bit slow but enjoyable. I watered the plants all days haha. Nice job :)
Great game based off a true story. Please dont play if you are easily disturbed. There are some HEAVY topics in this game.
am i the only one that cant play?
no it literally won't let me open it

I don’t recommend this pile of garbage.
you seem to be an average FPS player whose for some reason played a psycological horror game, your comment doesn't make any sense in this place
this game literally just uses shock content for the sake of it. the game had no buildup, no reason for me to trust the father, it was obvious he was the villain all along, this game is stupid, you just dont seem to get it.
Its actually based on true events, if you want to know more, you can search The Fritzl Case:)
