Hello Lexip_games
I really liked the look of "them", and wanted to see if youโd be interested in a small playtest partnered with GameUserResearch. This would be completely free, and we'd collect real gameplay data, feedback, and recorded footage/screenshots/surveys to help refine the experience.
A key focus would be how well players understand the gameโs mechanics, whether everything is intuitive, and what could be improved to make the experience clearer and smoother. Weโd also analyze engagement, difficulty balance, and overall UX to see if anything could be refined. Additionally, do you have any other games in development that might benefit from structured user testing?
Iโd love to help provide early feedback and insights that could shape the gameโs direction. Let me know if this sounds useful, Iโd be happy to discuss it further!
I recently just completed a playtest if you would like an example!
Thanks ๐๐ That's Great! please contact me from our mail or discord so we can talk more about it.
Look forward to the full game!
Sure bro ๐๐ Stay tuned for more creepy events in the full version! ๐ฅ

good game but the game closed in the middle of playing so idk what happened
Ow I'm very sorry that this happened for you. However, the game has a checkpoint save system, and by re entering the game, I think you can enjoy continuing from where you left off.

Can you add a Turkish language option to your game? Please :)
Sure! I'll try to add more languages soon โบ๏ธ๐ฅ
From the moment I entered the arcade basement, I felt like I was walking through a memory that didnโt belong to me — but somehow knew me. The way this game blends liminal design, distorted nostalgia, and atmospheric unease is seriously next-level. I wasnโt expecting to be hit this hard emotionally by a game built around an old-school game club. That ending… it just sits with you.
Thereโs no cheap jumpscares or over-the-top exposition — just that quiet, creeping feeling that somethingโs not right, and itโs been watching you the whole time.
If you're into ambient dread, symbolism, and subtle psychological horror that stays in your head, this game is 100% worth your time.

To the devs — if youโre reading this: you made something truly special.
Thanks ๐ I'm proud that you enjoyed the demo and thank you for the nice descriptions of the game ๐ Stay tuned for the full version!

8/10
Very cool idea for an indie game, i must say tho it needs some more depth to the lore and i hope you put more in the finished game, the graphics look amazing both in the real world and the game, maybe add some spookiness to make it feel more like an "horror" game than a "creepy" one.
Its a great start and i hope you dont mess up, ALSO PLEASE STOP USING AI TO MAKE POSTERS OR IMAGES IN THE GAME, I KNOW ITS THE QUICKEST AND CHEAPEST WAY TO PUT DETAILS IN THE GAME BUT STILL TRY TO PUT SOME EFFORT IN THAT TOO.
Additional Review Analysis:
-Toilet test: N/A
-Mirko test: N/A
-Patrick's eye shield: 0%
-Andrea's volume choice: 24
-Spooks: 2/10
-Enjoyment: 7.5/10
