Developer of the "Gimmick" here. If you can kindly collaborate on the issues of my game that would be nice. Maybe we can talk about the "too many bugs and stretched textures" issue. I would gladly discuss the problem.
Edit: Don't bother replying, because I've already made my response. Good day.
Good short horror experience though it took me longer than I'd like to admit to figure out the twist haha. Also, love the little rubber duck. And I'm pretty sure I found a bug at one point after failing to realize I could open the door to the house, basically I repeated the dialogue and the black screen that happens after the salesman goes missing. It's a bit hard to explain, the game itself starts at 13:22 on my video but the bug starts at 20:49, when I'm walking back to the shop. Anyway, that tiny bug aside, great game!
Third and final game in the vid (Starts around like 33:26)
Review (DOES CONTAIN SPOILERS):
I wanna start off by saying that eating frozen pizza straight from 7/11, wawa, royale farms, or whatever convenience store you have around you, is crazy! This game was dope as hell but alas like most horror games on this site it is a bit short. It does leave questions though once you beat the game but not too many. For example, what exactly is the black entity. I know we turn into it once we off ourselves but what exactly is it supposed to be? Are we now a demon of sorts? I was just curious. I do also like how, and this might be a reach, but how it kinda has a message in it about mental illness. Obviously this is a very extreme case but it still somewhat touches on schizophrenia all the same. Hell the game mentions it directly towards the end. All in all I was pleased (though baffled as to why the clerk was just in my bedroom with random red string lights on the wall presumably). Thanks for the experience!
I feel like the game could have used more ambiance, like maybe some more houses on the street, ambience noise, small shop jingle and maybe some cars driving by here or there.
Though the complete silence may also be on purpose, and if that is the case, then it nailed it.
I was able to get the tsk text to display previous tasks, making them overlap, that is visible in my video.
Other than what I have mentioned, it’s an alright little game, short but it does have an interesting story!

goud gaemGreat Game!
good game!
I felt the same way in my playthroug
it was the first one on my 3 scary games I enjoyed it
What a ride this game was, and what an ending! Got much darker than I expected, which is exactly how I like my indie horror games, well done :)
I had a good time, looking forward to whatever you may make next!Very quick, very creepy, jumpy and fun. So glad I played it.

That twist was amazing! Fantastic game, will you be needing any voice actors for future titles?
Good day! Of course, if we release games in the future, we will need people for voice-overs because we don't know English very well.

This game is really cool and so scary. I love it so much. I'd like to play the missing salesman again. My English is bad. Sorry 🥲
Es un juego corto con una historia interesante, recomendado.
Neat little game!
I cannot believe I ate the pizza cold tho..

This game was really small but I enjoyed it a lot! Was a little confused by the demon shadow guy but other than that it was an okay game.
This game was a really a really for one for sure! Keep up the good work man! I made a video if you're interested, it is the third game I play.
im 27 ;( lmao good game not really scary kinda funny
You are well done for pointing out that the game is slightly funny, it was done intentionally to give a double feeling to the game.
keep up the good work ! (:
A very interesting game, I enjoyed it too a degree.
A fun wee game to play
algo corto, pero estuvo bastante bueno, lo jugué en mi video de tres juegos randoms
The game kept me on my toes and ultimately the ending was pretty noteworthy. Everyone give this a shot!
I very much enjoyed your game! Looking forward to more =)
