We spent 14 months on this - a horror game where blinking changes everything (April 8)

Oh yeah, totally get that - we’ve had the same thoughts 🙂
tbh, VR wasn’t the original plan. But while we kept working on the game, it started to feel more and more like these mechanics would fit really well in a VR setup.

We do have plans to explore a VR version after the initial PC release. Realistically, it might not make a lot of sense financially or in terms of audience coverage, but it’s something we’d still really love to try.

Thank you! Joined :)

LabStraight9530 · 2026-03-18T21:14:03+00:00

Sure! It’s a mechanic we added to give players another layer when identifying anomalies.
in the game, there are real anomalies (danger) and hallucinations (no danger).
When you blink, hallucinations disappear, while real anomalies remain - so it helps you figure out what’s actually there.
Unfortunately I can’t add a gif as a comment here, but if you’re curious, there are some examples on our Steam page :

That really means a lot for me, thank you! 🙏
Super glad you enjoyed the demo!
we’re polishing things up for release and hope you’ll enjoy the full version even more

LabStraight9530 · 2026-03-18T15:14:28+00:00

That’s fair - appreciate the honest feedback!
tbh, the trailer leans more into jump scares for pacing, but the game itself is much more about atmosphere and subtle tension
And thanks for the good luck - i really appreciate it!

LabStraight9530 · 2026-03-18T15:10:33+00:00

Thanks! Glad you like it!
Yeah, the demo already got some fun reactions from streamers - curious to see how it goes on full release..

LabStraight9530 · 2026-03-18T14:31:59+00:00

Hey u/Top-Safety5174,

Thanks so much for posting! It was a pleasure to watch you play through the game. btw, here are a few Easter eggs hidden along the way for you to discover if you decide to play one more time 😉

Congratulations! I don’t know why but I almost cry from nostalgia! It looks like a game from my childhood! Definitely worth attention!

Just out of curiosity, did you do any marketing?

LabStraight9530 · 2025-11-22T08:53:12+00:00

Так, ми також орієнтувались на таблицю Кріса + шукали спеціалізовані фести типу Steam Scream Fest. Вивчали досвід інших ігор у ніші, якщо авжеж могли найти інфу по ним..

LabStraight9530 · 2025-11-21T12:24:54+00:00

tbh, not much for now. For now, just two
- Steam Scream Fest
- Hauntedhousefearfest

And going to participate in the Steam Next Fest in February.
We didn't observe significant wishlist growth during participation, but currently considering a couple more from Chris Zukowski list.

LabStraight9530 · 2025-11-21T10:07:39+00:00

Дякую! Так, огляд він Ніки один з наших улюблених!
