Havia pensado que tinha colocado nos comentários da página a minha gameplay para avaliarem há 7 meses atrás, mas como não tinha sido feito, vou deixar abaixo a jogatina para quem tiver interesse
i liked the simplicity of it, nice and simple. also, great writing. it made it super easy to stay in character/stay immersed in the story, while also leaving room for improv. keep making games, i like your style.
Thank you so much for such kind words man
really good, would love to see more from the dev
Thank you kind sir.

SOMETHING IN THE WOODS: Eres un agente de policía conduciendo por una carretera desolada, el cansancio te obliga a detenerte en una gasolinera aislada para tomar un café, sin embargo al entrar un silencio inquietante invade la gasolinera, sin personal ni clientes ¿Dónde han ido todos? Gracias por crear el juego, saludos!!!!
