The atmosphere and sound is incredible. It's bizarre, it's creepy. I'm praying that Silkbulb Test doesn't let me down. When I listened to the tapes in the first room I started to get worried that they would ruin the mystery with lore. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I love a good story, but I don't think it would be appropriate here. I think what's being nailed is the dread of the unknown and being in an unfamiliar world surrounded by foreign versions of seemingly familiar technology. It's all uncanny valley - it's so close to something attainable, but surprise! it's nothing like that at all and actually, you just have major head trauma and a monster is lurking behind your eyeballs living in your skull. Also gambling games are cool. I like this trend that's going on with gambling. Can someone please explain to me why I can't get the last achievements. They seem super rare... Just going to have to keep pulling that lever. Anywho! Very stoked for Silkbulb. Please release soon!

I excitedly await my mail order crab skeleton. (Also, the game is super fun and awesome! I even made a lil peg-board irl to keep track of the numbers for the endless mode!) :3

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.
