Cute game, wicked visuals, heart-touching credits messages but i felt like doing the same thing after and after to get all the tapes and reach the ending was a bit boring & overwhelming Would recommend anyhow tho

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

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.
