Loveland

Every update and I cross my fingers that this will be the time that the story progresses a bit further, but no such luck yet! Looking forward to the full release!

Nice, aesthetic little game. Looking forward to the full version. I like that you can simply walk off the map if you want. The only thing I found scary was that, when standing in the trailer with (spoiler) many spiders in it, if you look through the window at the end (at the key), at the far right there seems to be a pair of glowing white eyes on a weird body looking thing. It was probably a car or something, but I stood there for a while thinking something might attack me. ;;; I really like the plot, the whole frog moonshine idea is cool. 

shortest game I ever played XD

Ok, I'm a bit confused about the keys... Was the middle lock locked with the key near the missing person? Because something happened in the bathroom of the first house on the left..

Was Very intrigued by the demo, Wish we could have gotten one creature sighting but other than that it has a great  atmosphere  and the story  was very intriguing  .   

I was curious on what the frogs have to do with loveland and was pleasently surprised by the Loveland Frogman Mystery, I look forward to see how   you add the beast in. Keep up the great work!!

An interesting demo. Loved the atmosphere.

I made an account just to comment on this. Very nice game- the atmosphere was great and the suspense was good for a while until I got stuck looking for a key and managed to get out of the trailer park thinking I found the "correct way" (I had not, lol). From the way the car is facing, if you go all the way forward into the trees, there's no barrier and I walked into the pond. I found my way out of the pond by jumping in some places, but yeah. I don't know if that was some hidden thing intended so you could see what the eyes in the distance actually were, but... either way, definitely a fun game and I'm excited to see where it goes next.

This was such an awesome game. I went in very low low expectations, honestly. "Oh, a first person 'PS1' style horror game. Looks like a plain 'walking sim,' too." Also, obviously being inspired by the Loveland Frog cryptid, that didn't help (kind of the goofiest cryptid.)

However I was so impressed. The spooks and scares were very slow and immersive. Turning on stoves, TVs, sinks... they're little and don't add to "gameplay," but when they're in games they're a treat. But it got me more "into" the environment. I had a little "oh dang" moment when I could walk through the the swings and they rattled. Honestly you never see stuff like this in indie games of this style.

And that made the scares even more engaging. It wasn't the unraveling of the plot through "notes," but the creeping realization of what's happening. And the SOUND DESIGN. Again, you don't get great horror sound design in a lot of indie horror, and I find that for me is what elevates a horror game.

There never really any cheap jump scares. No "ARGH" scary JPEG. They felt earned and not really childish.

(SPOILERS FOR PUZZLES BELOW)

My main criticism is the puzzles and pacing. The puzzles themselves were simple, but the layout of the levels made it hard to figure out what to do. I was wandering for a good while a lot going "where the fuck is that key?" I starting getting into the equivalent of "rub all items on the puzzle" in point and click games. It did kill the pacing a bit which got in the way of the spooks. A solution to that would be more clear labeling of puzzle items. Not leaving them in the path, but better positioned so they're less easily missed. The key left on the broken windowsill was very annoying. Keep in mind where the player may be moving or looking. I think the game may be too dark, and the trailer park is a bit awkwardly laid out. For the full game, I suggest working with environmental lighting and layout for puzzles, not only to lessen frustration in puzzles but keep the pace to make it scarier.

Also, you could sometimes grab things through walls or tables, FYI.

So, in short, I was blown away. The use of sound design and earned spooks made the game very immersive and the story and spooks weren't spoon fed. The main issue is the awkward key-finding and darkness which added some frustration. But my heart was beating a good bit, and it wasn't my hypertension.

Awww, I really wanted to see what was inside the main trailer - nice cliffhanger.  :)  Looking forward to see what happens next and I will definitely purchase the full version once it comes out on Steam.

Hello, I played this game and I like the look of it, the gameplay was also good, it was a short and sweet game, good work :) 

I want to play this so bad but it keeps crashing. The short time I’m able to get is great though! 

Atmosphere A+, Graphics A+, Controls A+ and the story is really getting to me. Really looking forward to the finished product!

I really loved the atmosphere in this game, cant wait for the full release!

This was so interesting and so much fun! Can't wait to play the full release! 

hey, i really like this game but like halfway through it crashed so i re-downloaded it and started playing again but it crashed super early. i was really hoping to finish this really cool game and wanted to know if there was anyway you knew that might solve my problem

Great game, love the setting of the trailer park filled with cult-like behavior, dont see that much often, love the little subtle scares of the game, and just in general whole game. Hoping the full version will be just as amazing as this one was, looking forward to it a lot.

ps if intrested here's a little playtrough of mine (game is at the beggining)

Now this I found excellent.

From managing to use a creature that most would write off as impossible for a horror antagonist, to the very organic way you traverse between trailers in the park as event sunfold, this is just a wonderfully creative little horror setting. Especially the usage of sound to freak you out simply by how MANY of the dan things are around is kind of brilliant.

Too me an annoyingly long time to find a key I was looking for but eh, that's on my part. Really cool little game! Hope to see more.

very wonderful hopefully a full version will be out soon 

Wonderful, very creative premise & setting. 

This was a very strange game but way more fun than I expected it to be! Good job! Cant wait for the rest!

Frogs, evil? :( No... 

This was pretty good. Mysterious and kinda creepy! Waiting for that next part tho.
