really love the gameplay, the background image is from the creepypasta series of the same name so it won't be very related to the game but that's okay, I still really like the atmosphere that the game brings, 10/10. If you love the gameplay without any commentaryand I will also review and evaluate the games in the most fair way. Thank you for reading this. And also thanks to the Developers to create this game
This game was really scary. The moment I walked into that cabin I was like, nah this ain't it... The portraits themselves were very unsettling, especially the one in the bathroom. The end scared me... I made a video if you're interested. Please consider subscribing, it would mean a lot. It is the third game I play.
I played this awesome game in my 3 scary games video! I really enjoyed the game. The game being inspired by a creepy pasta, definitely made it the more interesting!
Thanks for the video! I had never seen that bug where the footsteps happened when you sat on the toilet, that's interesting, I'll have to look into that... although it seems a bit creepy too lol
This was such an amazing creepy game! I really enjoyed how the atmosphere just felt tense after seeing the first portrait! It was so well made, great job!
Hey! Thanks a lot for your video! While I don't have an hour long version of this game, I do have another horror game and I went ahead and sent your business email a Steam Key for it if you're interested in checking it out. Thanks!
I'm not big on creepypastas but this was honestly a great one. I would even say it's better than the original even though it's the same concept just a bit modernized. This game had unexpected consequences and it really adds to the uncertainty of the situation while increasing tension.
Thanks for playing The Portraits. The compression was intentional to make it more PS1-like. The Portraits were drawn by my friends who are in the credits, only the intro and ending background are AI.
The character does say something different when i interact with the door but i cannot find a way to open it, running past the thing guarding it is just beyond me if thats how im supposed to do it lol
When he finishes taking a shit right? i tried to but he just says "Was someone in here?" and nothing else happens, i tried looking around for a key but no luck
You can do it at any point during the night, the key is well hidden and you must have beaten the game once ("Read Original Creepypasta" showing up on title screen to verify)
Very unsettling adaptation of the short Creepypasta involving the hunter in the woods at night. Had the feel of the film Barbarian - was wondering if there would be something nasty lurking in the basement!
Pros:
Aesthetically very unsettling, feels like you're being watched continuously and waiting for the shoe to drop, so to speak
Great adaptation of lore
Low poly horror
Cons:
Would have liked to find out more about the Davidson's, or about the pictures themselves.
Hit box detection on the doors is a little large - kept getting stuck trying to walk through doors.
People with fears going to the toilet should not play! ;)
This was such a lovely adaption, you added your own flourishes, your writing was really good, it added to the character and environment and I loved the art in this (kudos to your friends to reference but also add their own touch to it). I also love that you included the original creepypasta. All in all such a thoughtful game with quite a few creepy ideas.
Very Solid game, The end of it really caught me off guard. It had such an unsettling environment even if it didn't have the portraits on top of it already. Good Job!.
This game is so creepy!!! I feel like I was actually at the Airbnb in IRL, lol. I was sprinting so fast towards the exit door, towards the end of the gameplay!!! 10/10. Also, is there a secret behind the locked door in the basement?
Hey, thanks a lot for playing. There is no way to get into the basement nor anything that explicitly tells you what was in there and I leave it up to your interpretation (although I did have concrete idea of what is there). I looked at the end of your video and I will say at the least you would be in for a suprise if you went to the basement or bathroom in the morning.
Mc too tired to see all the red flags. It was cool experiencing a creepy pasta through a game and it was a nice experience well sometime i feel like the door frame trying to trap me. A fun time.
Thank you for playing! Yeah, player hitbox is a little big and can get caught on doorframes, tried to balance it to keep player from being able to clip into objects with camera but could definitely be improved
This was not bad, can definitely tell it was inspired by the creepypasta. Love the slow progression as you investigate and do some normal tasks. Made a video on it.
this was super creepy! alot of games use cheap jump scares to scare the player, but this was just so creepy that it didnt need a jump scare! good job. really enjoyed.
The true essence of horror is patiently waiting to strike with fear and anxiety at the right moment - this game absolutely got strong foundation. The storytelling from the beginning was quite cheesy, not gonna lie, but the execution and that ending was perfect. I really enjoyed my time with this game. Had no major issues, it sounded well and looked well, not to say the portraits were deeply staring at my soul.
Fantastic job on your game. Best of luck in the future. Cheers!
Hey, thank you very much for your comment! To me, creepypastas are kind of like campfire stories where they are very silly and cheesy, so I definitely was trying to emulate that with some of the silliness in this project, while still trying to make it rather scary, so I'm very glad to hear that came across!
Thanks again for playing, and if you're interested in a more gameplay-focused horror game I made consider checking out Atama, it is on discount on Steam right now!
I love the usage of this creepypasta to base your game on. The environment was honestly very scary and made me feel uncomfortable the whole time! Really fun.

I'm surprise that wasn't intentional!
Haha, yeah it was definitely creepy there. I just uploaded a build fixing it actually! :)
The voice is still there and honestly, it makes it better. I was fricking scared shitless (you see the pun I made here haha).
My first time trying airbnb.
Freakin CREEPY all the way through. Never wanna go through again, 10/10
Thanks!

Thanks for playing! Great vid!
You're welcome and glad you enjoyed it!
i had a good review in my video, i think this game was so great that it could be expanded to at least an hour.
Hey! Thanks a lot for your video! While I don't have an hour long version of this game, I do have another horror game and I went ahead and sent your business email a Steam Key for it if you're interested in checking it out. Thanks!
I made a video on your game - 9:42
Thanks for making games!

I got 2 ways to end the game, is there a way to open the basement door?
I'm new to YouTube and it would help a lot if you leave a like or subscribe if you like the content, also you can request a game by leaving a comment!There is no way to get into the basement but you can see what comes out
Edit: Looks like you did lol
With new patch released today, there is now a way to get into basement door
Awesome, ill release a video tomorrow or sunday
The character does say something different when i interact with the door but i cannot find a way to open it, running past the thing guarding it is just beyond me if thats how im supposed to do it lol
It can be opened at night, not in the morning
When he finishes taking a shit right? i tried to but he just says "Was someone in here?" and nothing else happens, i tried looking around for a key but no luck

Thanks for playing! The portraits were drawn by my friends, AI was just used for the background for the intro and the ending scene (if you escape).
