Just 100%ed it on Steam. Liked the unique setting and great atmosphere. I'm also very impressed by the scale, complexity, and polish. Amazing piece of art!
amazing controls and mechanics. reloading is handled better here than AAA games. you actually scan books to read them. i replayed the game because the sledding was so enjoyable.
also really liked the setting and i was really fuckin scared.
** spoilers **
i died over an over on the stampede section but i honestly loved it! it was very very nice of the dev to have an option to skip it tho, but i perserved and got through it eventually. on my replay i got through it first try and it was awesome, dunno if its scripted but i tipped my sled right at the end but that was fucking cool.
I rate sled dog games and this has been handsdown the best sled dog mechanics I've had a joy to play. The animation and controls of it were bangon. Is that a howling dog alaska or manmat harness? Been discussing it with fellow enthusiasts.
The story was a bit confusing at times, although I enjoyed trying to work out what was going on, but the highlights for me were sledding away from the stampede, navigating the sled through trees, finding the missing sled dogs, following deer out of the fog. I finished the game in about 90 minutes but I could honestly just have an entire game out of navigating different environments with that sled. Well done!
Recorded this a while ago and finally released it. It felt like reading a really engaging short story. Even now I am still thinking about the game and it's presentation. I hope lots of people see it and get inspired by your fantastic work.
I enjoyed the game, but would have preferred a more straightforward presentation: because it was often confusing, the end result for me was being pulled out of immersion, not feeling I was the game character, just someone playing a game. Still, great atmosphere in many sections. Also: works perfectly in Linux. :-)
Fucking Fantastic Experience God I Do not understand why more people are not talking about this game But just know you did an amazing job and That I Hope You Keep Busting out Bangers Like This !!!!!
Just finished it, a truly delightfully unnerving experience, that leaves me with a desire to explore more of this mysterious and frightening arctic setting. I strongly recommend this game, and I hope that the dev continues to make more games.
The game is unique and have that vibe of some slow pacing movies. For me story is great (as not natvie english speaker i don't know i understand everything correctly), the are great moments in game but dont feel them right because you are little bored similarities of scenes. Love the scenes transition, i fell like be in the movie. I think you'll appreciate the game the most after you've finished it.
I don't know WHY I decided to play this at 12am but this scared the shit out of me! No spoilers, but towards the end of the game I desperately kept thinking "okay please please let this be over let me go home." The dialogue is so eerie. The pacing is amazing, too. And so so atmospheric! It's been said before, but it really captures the desperation of hopelessly wandering a vast, empty wasteland. Had no issues running on my computer, either (granted my computer is decent). Thanks for letting me pet the dogs, it was honestly the only thing keeping me sane throughout this! Just so spooky. Will linger in my brain for a good long while!
This was such an amazing game. I just stumbled across it and the atmosphere you build through out the game is fantastic. Also the transitions are so jarring and well done. Absolutely can't wait to see what you make next!
A wonderful experience that I've been waiting for since I got my hands on the demo. Strong recommendation for anyone who's into strange games, especially horror.
The gameplay truly aided in building the mood, from steering the sled to frantically loading your rifle, it all built up to a cohesive experience and I wouldn't change a thing. One of my favorite parts, which also stood out from the demo, is the hard cuts between scenes that give the experience a cinematic feel, while also adding to the feeling of being lost and not fully in control of what's happening around you.
I loved the demo on the PS1 demo disc. I hope you release it on steam or another platform, since i'm from brazil and the prices on itch.io tend to be a bit too much 😭 will keep an eye on it 💜
This game is everything I hoped it would be. I saw a preview on Twitter some time ago and could already feel the bleakness of the setting through a few shots. The game shows you how it works and then leaves you alone to use what you know. The minimalist sound design and the use of sparse but heavy sound cues adds to the quiet dread of the atmosphere so well. Lots of cinematic show-don't-tell, which I liked a lot. Excellent work
Yep correct, https://hauntedps1.itch.io/demodisc2021 I hope Aslak doesn't mind me linking it for visibility. The demo had great atmosphere and was really intriguing .

Awesome game. Just finished it on Steam and can absolutely recommend.
Quiet terror. Really, really incredible. Very excited for more of this creator's work.

Ill say it again from the demo, that animation of him turning around and smiling at you is so damn good, so simple but so creepy. Good stuff thank you

I thought this game was dead. One of my favorite games from Demo Disc 2021.
Instant buy!

incredible, please make more games :p
this game really brings you in and makes you feel lost in the vastness of the artic, I strongly recommend

Feels like a combination of Paratopic and Black Mountain Side

This game is very unique and well worth it I'd say. It's a nice experience that keeps you on the edge of your seat!

Demo was great, excited for full game
which demo?
I think on the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021 this game was featured.

Not at all, thank you!
