What an amazing experience, they could've charged $10 and I would've still bought this game, its such a mindblowingly uncomfortable horror game that doesn't rely too much on jumpscares, the atmosphere and setting alone gets you creeped out enough. The lore and possible theories that could be spawned from this 1 game alone is enough to feed a subreddit for a good month. I can't wait for the silkbulb test! Please continue making games!

this game reminds me of my dad when i was a child. I was playing my nintendo DS in the living room, behind me a long hallway with a singular top light illuminating the front door. Then when my dad came home i had to hide the DS or he would beat me with his flathead screwdriver...

actually a pretty good game. the creator looks like he has more stuff that he wants to put out too and I am all for it. I recommend this to people that like buckshot roulette

May 2024

Retro sci-fi higher or lower set in a Dragan Bibin painting. Obviously running on influences from the likes of Inscrpytion and Buckshot Roulette, whilst it misses the mark on what makes those titles quite so compelling to play (this becomes clear on the multiple wins required to unearth Flathead's secrets) there's just no one hitting the same atmosphere of dread in games like Tim Oxton right now. It's two bucks for about half an hour of unique horror. Very excited for Silkbulb. Today was special.
