Hello Lexip_games

I really liked the look of "them",  and wanted to see if youโ€™d 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 gameโ€™s mechanics, whether everything is intuitive, and what could be improved to make the experience clearer and smoother. Weโ€™d 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?

Iโ€™d love to help provide early feedback and insights that could shape the gameโ€™s direction. Let me know if this sounds useful, Iโ€™d be happy to discuss it further!

I recently just completed a playtest if you would like an example!

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™ 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 ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™ Stay tuned for more creepy events in the full version! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

THEM left me with that strange feeling only great psychological horror games can — like I saw something I wasnโ€™t supposed to. Something personal.

From the moment I entered the arcade basement, I felt like I was walking through a memory that didnโ€™t belong to me — but somehow knew me. The way this game blends liminal design, distorted nostalgia, and atmospheric unease is seriously next-level. I wasnโ€™t expecting to be hit this hard emotionally by a game built around an old-school game club. That ending… it just sits with you.

Thereโ€™s no cheap jumpscares or over-the-top exposition — just that quiet, creeping feeling that somethingโ€™s not right, and itโ€™s 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.

๐Ÿง  Full playthrough + breakdown on my channel:https://www.youtube.com/@baxbeargaming3557/featured

To the devs — if youโ€™re reading this: you made something truly special.

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ I'm proud that you enjoyed the demo and thank you for the nice descriptions of the game ๐Ÿ™ Stay tuned for the full version!

Thanks ๐Ÿ˜ It's my pride that you enjoyed the demo ๐Ÿ™

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
