My reaction before and after playing this game fucked me up and I send a thank you to the creator of this game for helping me cry and release childhood trauma I had stored up
thanks for the cw on the game's page. would be nice to have it in the game itself too, as im sure there are people with short attention span who cant pay much attention to the itch.io description, going right into the game instead (thats me im using itch client so im used to downloading the game and booting it up immediately 💀)
what. people who have an attention span that short shouldn't be on the internet. if it's too much for you to read a description, it's natural selection if you get triggered. lesson learnt, don't boot up games immediately without checking the info.
There's a google doc attached to the itch.io page. It adds a bit more context to the "No pill" ending.
"You make your way outside, seeing the sun for the first time without knowing what it actually is. Afterwards, escaping the perimeter and seeking help."
I wish we had more story too, though the way this was wrapped up is nice.
I have a feature request. I want to be able to change the controls. I do not use a typical qwerty keyboard, and in order to play it, I had to change what the input keyboard was and try to press the right buttons, which made it difficult to play.
please put an actual warning on this. a specific warning. i went into this having no clue what the game was about and almost had a genuine panic attack. the subject matter actually made me feel sick and i had to quit before i properly finished the game. normalize actual trigger warnings and specify what the triggering content is, please.(edit: apparently this is similar to a real case, ik the dev said it's not based on it. doesn't make it less weird how similar the game and the case are. also, i do know the description has since been changed. it was different before and did not mention the sa aspect when i downloaded the game. so yes, i can read. i didn't ignore the description. it was not updated when i made this comment. what i said still stands for other situations even now that the description is updated.)
if there's a warning talking about not for sensitive audiences, you should've clicked off. Or just read the description "DISCLAIMER:
This experience contains elements that involve sensitive and disturbing subject matter. It may be unsettling to some players. Individuals who find disturbing content distressing are advised to refrain from playing. Do not take this lightly."
thats not a clear warning. you don't realize the fact that people that are sensitive to content about sa/csa can enjoy other kinds of horror content/can enjoy content about those subjects if given a proper warning and know what to expect. the simple "this has disturbing content" warning is not enough for that particular subject.
the warning says nothing about what the actual subject matter is, so no. there are a lot of other comments about the case it's apparently based on, it's a quick google search if you don't know what it is. doesn't seem like much of a coincidence since it's so similar.
wah wah I can't read T__T ^ that's you. next time, read the descriptions, and don't start games without reading what they're about :) 0 sympathy for people like you.
i can read, thanks. i wouldn't have been upset by the game at all if there were a REAL warning. when i downloaded the game, the description said nothing about what the content in the game was. this is the old "disclaimer" that was in the description when i read it before downloading the game.
DISCLAIMER: This experience contains elements that involve sensitive and disturbing subject matter. It may be unsettling to some players. Individuals who find disturbing content distressing are advised to refrain from playing. Do not take this lightly.
i would've been perfectly fine as i am with most horror/"disturbing" content if i had known the subject matter beforehand, since i would've known what to expect and what i was getting myself into playing. real trigger warnings need to be actually normalized. that vague of a description can be very harmful to people suffering from traumas relating to sa.
and the fact that you're saying "0 sympathy" towards someone who is upset by content about sexual assault (again, that i had no clue thats what this game was about as the disclaimer did not mention it/wasn't edited when i downloaded) says a lot about you, not in a good way at all.
I tried to play this after hearing about it but I think there is a graphics glitch. everything was just too pixelated even after changing my pc settings. I am not sure if other people are having this issue or know how to fix it.
I mean i play all sorts of horror games and this is the first one to have caused me to have panic attack, like i loved the game all in all but I do feel there needs to be /somewhere/ (it doesnt need to be main screen or anything just somehwere) for a more specific warning. Because yeah I wouldve not played the game at this cuuren time. I dont think the creator meant harm at all btw, but theres a reason content warnings for movies say what the content its warning for is.
Does anyone else have the issue where everything apart from the DAY X screens and diary pages is incredibly pixelated? Is that the intention? Is there a setting where this can be changed?
srsly please put a proper warning. As the user below me has stated, it's pretty fucked up to just avoid a proper warning for the sake of a twist. EDIT: The dev has updated the warning to be more specific now, you guys can stop rubbing each other off now.(Would've been nice if the Dev replied or put a note so people wouldn't assume me and others can't read.)
I am glad I was not the only one that realized this problem. It's fine to cover topics like this, but it needs a proper trigger warning besides the very vague one it has currently. Otherwise it isn't actually being helpful to victims, it's just putting yet another thing in their path they won't know to avoid until it triggers them.
First, as unbiased an opinion as I can give, this game is pretty good. You've nailed the atmosphere and it's very unsettling, and it keeps you wondering what's happening. However, I would not have engaged with this game if I had ANY idea it was about CSA (just randomly came across it). I'm a victim of CSA and always read TWs, and this game was heavily triggering and upsetting to me, and the only warning was 'disturbing content.' PLEASE consider putting a more specific warning, even if it is 'the content of this game contains some heavy triggers related to CSA, so if you are a survivor, this may not be a good game for you.' I have to say too, despite giving props to the game, if your biggest twist/spoiler is 'it was CSA/SA,' then you might want to reconsider how you've handled the subject matter. CSA/SA is not a good 'shocker twist' for a horror game, but it CAN be included in the story sensitively and well. Maybe a story where we get heavier inklings of what's happening, and have a clear ending where the victim escapes? A good ending for them (apologies if this is one of the endings, but I have no desire to find out for the sake of my MH).
That said, I also realize I don't know the dev, I have no idea what they may or may not have been through in life, but as someone with heavy traumas who is also a creator (I write books about some pretty dark stuff), survivors still have a responsibility to handle certain subjects carefully when putting them out there for the general public in stuff like games and art, even if that just means a heavy and informative content warning.
I hope the dev takes a lot of the constructive criticism here to heart, and they continue to make games.
At first i tried to find the ROBLOX one i couldent find it so i found this one and i had a great time with it i plan to go back for the second ending in the future
I hope Markiplier's go at Your game gives You the boost that Your game rightfully deserves.
While the choice of topic is very sensitive, Your take on it is handled with due care. The sound design, visual effects and pacing also deserve a separate praise, I believe - they are thought provoking in their own right. Combined with a heavy hitter at the end - they certainly drive the point home.
I had a problem with the screen ratio for some reason... Despite my screen being set to 16:9, the game opens as 4:3 and didn't had a configuration menu to adjust it.
Still, the game run normally and is playable, just a little pixelated because of the ratio.
you're gross for making a game like this. you honestly should be on a watchlist. there are people who are victims of shit like this and the fact that you just feel you have the authority to make a game about rape, presumably of a child, is repulsive. i don't know how people aren't seeing through this, you're fucking disgusting.
it's definitely fine to spread awareness/use these topics to express feeling about the subject, etc. but this game also needs a proper warning about the content. some people do not want anything to do with consuming content with this subject matter if it triggers them or makes them uncomfortable. that's my problem with this game. not the actual subject matter, just the fact there are no real warnings on it before playing.
As a survivor of non-contact csa and grooming I write things like this to cope and process what I went through. My personal complaint is that this should have a more specific trigger warning for the sake of people who will get triggered by media like this.
Saw Markiplier made a video about this and after hearing what he said in the begining I decided to play it before watching his video.
Very well done, I got a real sense of dread in the pit of my stomach at times. Only played through once but will be playing again to see the other ending.
Man when i didn't took the pill and saw what happened i was so shocked too see that our dad was doing some bad stuff to us when we were sleeping. Damn what a dark story
I've never left a review on a game before but this f*cked me up good. Beautiful game design, pacing, storytelling. WOWOWOW! This was incredible. Great job!
Just wanna say that even though it's not entirely based on the Josef Fritzl case, it was inspired by it as the creator has stated. I do want to express how I love this game and how it was easy for children on Roblox to access it and play it. Children aren't as innocent as we make them to be, they understand things better than us. So having that easy access to this game on Roblox would've helped them understand the world, maybe it might've happened to other kids but they never really connected the dots. But hey, I'm not arguing that the game on Roblox was taken down by you, you're really talented to even make a game like, it's really cool and subtly dark. It does so well with giving us hints and clues to put together what is really happening. (I haven't played any version of this game yet)
It's difficult to say. I believe children deserve to be challenged by difficult topics to develop their understanding of the world. At the same time, it is a very difficult thing to balance this day and age..
do you really think its appropriate for children to be encouraged to play a game about drugging and rape? kids on roblox are way too young to be forced into learning about that stuff, it would petrify them. maybe if it was exclusive to 13+ or 17+ it would be fine but just out on roblox for actual children to play?
I find it fine. Because at this point, kids should know that this shit could happen to them- I’m not saying that cause this game exists, they should play it- like they can get traumatized from that- but if they stumble upon it, your own choice. And through that choice, they can learn.
It sucks i can't play this due to microsoft removing the download feature for the xbox i found out how unsettling the game actually is and it's just sad how i can't play it because of microsoft.
Basically in short ur father was giving u some sort of drugs to not awake u at night (the pills) And he was raping u every night so and lied about the monsters so he can keep u trapped in the basement and yeah the game itself is traumatizing and disturbing not even scary
I have played the real game and the game on roblox. This was extremely disturbing and I didn't really see it as scary. I don't really like the fact that it doesnt have a content warning for CSA because it might actually trigger someone who has that trauma(like me). But it's a great game quality wise and story wise just wished there was a more direct content warning.

add more endings please i loved this i wise we knew more about the girl and what happened after

I will be sure to add that in the next update!
Played it, about made me cry
Angry Upvote or something.

respectfully....
Abuse survivors can enjoy horror too lmao. The warning was too vague, people have specific triggers. This one is the fault of the dev.
thats not a clear warning. you don't realize the fact that people that are sensitive to content about sa/csa can enjoy other kinds of horror content/can enjoy content about those subjects if given a proper warning and know what to expect. the simple "this has disturbing content" warning is not enough for that particular subject.
Its not based off of a real case and you WERE warned.
the warning says nothing about what the actual subject matter is, so no. there are a lot of other comments about the case it's apparently based on, it's a quick google search if you don't know what it is. doesn't seem like much of a coincidence since it's so similar.
it’s inspired by the Josef Fritzl case. Not based off of.

what's up blijah, have you played my new game?
Hi no I have not but we got new content on the channel good to see you and PLAY My EYES Decieve!
I tried to play this after hearing about it but I think there is a graphics glitch. everything was just too pixelated even after changing my pc settings. I am not sure if other people are having this issue or know how to fix it.
The pixelation heavily depends on the resolution of your monitor. What resolution is your monitor?
I changed my resolution settings to match the recommended resolution before i made the comment and it didnt change anything.
THIS ACTUALLY SUPRISED ME
Nouhidev after seeing fifty comments asking for a trigger warning on a psychological horror game:
I mean i play all sorts of horror games and this is the first one to have caused me to have panic attack, like i loved the game all in all but I do feel there needs to be /somewhere/ (it doesnt need to be main screen or anything just somehwere) for a more specific warning. Because yeah I wouldve not played the game at this cuuren time. I dont think the creator meant harm at all btw, but theres a reason content warnings for movies say what the content its warning for is.
Does anyone else have the issue where everything apart from the DAY X screens and diary pages is incredibly pixelated? Is that the intention? Is there a setting where this can be changed?
The pixelation is heavily based on your monitor's resolution. But I will fix that issue in the upcoming update!

there is quite literally a disclaimer.
The disclaimer was edited, my comment was made before the new, more specifically mentioned SA additions.
First, as unbiased an opinion as I can give, this game is pretty good. You've nailed the atmosphere and it's very unsettling, and it keeps you wondering what's happening.

Very creepy and messed up. I can recommend

i think it's to spread awareness, dude
also the person who made this could be a victim themself, you never know, so don't just assume
it's definitely fine to spread awareness/use these topics to express feeling about the subject, etc. but this game also needs a proper warning about the content. some people do not want anything to do with consuming content with this subject matter if it triggers them or makes them uncomfortable. that's my problem with this game. not the actual subject matter, just the fact there are no real warnings on it before playing.
Games are a form of artistic expression. I think your commentary is undeserved and misdirected.

Play Doki Doki Literature Club and get back to us. If you thought this was heavy...
Sounds like you’ll be shocked that children can and have gotten raped irl
Fucked up and really well made, thank you for this game!
Saw Markiplier made a video about this and after hearing what he said in the begining I decided to play it before watching his video.
Very well done, I got a real sense of dread in the pit of my stomach at times. Only played through once but will be playing again to see the other ending.
Beautiful and super fucked up.
Any chance for a Linux AppImage port?
Man when i didn't took the pill and saw what happened i was so shocked too see that our dad was doing some bad stuff to us when we were sleeping. Damn what a dark story
you readded the download oh am i dreaming
one of the most anxious experiences ive had in a game
I've never left a review on a game before but this f*cked me up good. Beautiful game design, pacing, storytelling. WOWOWOW! This was incredible. Great job!
I know right? The ending was interesting, and like you said, BEAUTIFUL design! Loved it!
dude this is scarier than most of the horror games.. especially how the fact it can actually happen to someone
played this in a call with a friend and we both got surprised by that ending (the no taking pills one), what a great phsycological horror game
Just wanna say that even though it's not entirely based on the Josef Fritzl case, it was inspired by it as the creator has stated.

what the fuck is wrong with you
uh? What did I say wrong?
do you really think its appropriate for children to be encouraged to play a game about drugging and rape? kids on roblox are way too young to be forced into learning about that stuff, it would petrify them. maybe if it was exclusive to 13+ or 17+ it would be fine but just out on roblox for actual children to play?

just played this and wanted to throw up due how disturbing it is oh my god.
It sucks i can't play this due to microsoft removing the download feature for the xbox i found out how unsettling the game actually is and it's just sad how i can't play it because of microsoft.
Is the game based on the Fritzl Case?
inspired
i can't open the game
What is the explanation of the game? I haven't played it yet though i'm curious
Basically in short ur father was giving u some sort of drugs to not awake u at night (the pills) And he was raping u every night so and lied about the monsters so he can keep u trapped in the basement and yeah the game itself is traumatizing and disturbing not even scary

This is the og game??
Isn't there a screen when you launch the game that warns you of the content?
i feel so bad, imagine someone stealing your game and putting it on Roblox and getting thousands of dollars and all the credit
I believe they had permission to port it onto Roblox
They had permission, but... well read the doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1DzolnN1mwAYX7nGLLRAbcC8hkVJd17Oo9KBQqlSomrY/...
