STILL A CON... DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! Over 2 years I paid extra for the "Founders edition." Waste of money! For those saying... It's *Just* $5 or 10... Some of us paid $20 to be in the "Founders edition." Have our name in chapter 2.... Which is clearly a flat out lie. Adam responds on Reddit but won't give a update. Honestly... Being real : If this was on steam i'd have got my $20 back but since it's on this platform, nothing you can do.
Argue "Its only $5." All you want... But it leaves a sour taste in many of our mouths being lied to for one. Secondly for those genuine indie horror devs on here, who charge like $2 or above for their game... People will just not pay and do it for free due to the lack of trust in their games.
The arguement of "1 hour for $10." Na... That's not good. Emika games, Chilla arts, JustTomCGames,HitoriDeGames, TonyShoulders and many others charge less for 2-3 times the ammount of gameplay, are finished, and polished, also just good games in general.
Just hurts me as a streamer when people like this abuse the platform and gives others devs a bad name.
If you also feel the same as me. Please do reach out to Twitch support :
This is getting a good deal of play on my channel, I had to remove the very first scenes in the high-rise. Apparently YT doesn't like that content. Other than that, this looks amazing and the creep factor is off the hook. Looking forward to the next "few" chapters. * See what I did there? LOL
I bought the founders edition to this game almost 2 years ago now and there has not been a single addition to this since I purchased it. It is a real shame that I come back this much later and STILL see a founders edition being sold for a game that will never be completed but continues to advertise that it will be.
Do not waste your money on this "game". Until the dev comes out and speaks on why the heck he has been advertising "more to come" without adding anything more for this long. I will continue to drive people away from this game. It stinks of potential scam.
I come back to check if this was ever updated/completed every couple of months. Not even a word from the developer about the state of the game or it's future, now that's incredibly shameful for a dev actually selling their game on a page promising more to come. Hell I would rather him come on here and say "I fuckin gave up on the game, it's never being finished", deleting everything mentioning more to come, and just selling the first chapter as essentially a stand alone short experience with proofs of concept in the menu/inventory. I mean I reported all this to itch.io but I doubt they'll do anything to this page or Adam Dubi Games for falsely advertising.
Muchas gracias por crear un juego así. Me ha gustado todo: la historia es buenísima, la ambientación es brutal, el suspense es sublime y el terror que se vive en todo momento es simplemente genial. Espero sinceramente que haya una segunda parte, ya que creo que merece mucho la pena. Este juego tiene un trabajo excepcional, así que te he puesto 5 estrellas. Te animo a continuar y sacar una segunda parte. Saludos!!!
Great, short game. One hour of a really cool, polished experience. Some additional stuff hidden here and there, so it's cool to play it more than once.
I bought this game at the end of 2023, it's a shame that the game is just this short, but I know very well that making a larger product alone is a really difficult process. It's good to remember what empathy is and I know how the creative process can be difficult. I know how many things can go wrong while working on a video game. Believe or not, but a developer is also a human being. That's why I'm shocked that people are berating the author and constantly using the word “scam” - No, it is not a scam and you do not understand the definition of the term. It's a small, one-person project that maybe will be finished, maybe not, deal with it. It's not a crowd funding, you bought a product. You got an hour-long game for $10. No one yells "this is scam! It's not enough!" for David Szymanski's games with a similar price/amount of content.
If the developer has some personal problems I can see why he stopped checking this toxic place with all needy people yelling "scaaaaam" with some guys stalking him on reddit, and other weirdos with no life.
The "People" you are talking about were LIED too. That is why it is a scram. When you pay for the FOUNDERS EDITION you are supposed to get an exclusive episode sown the line. He then in the same paragraph stated CHAPTER 2 IS 90% COMPLETE. It does not take you almost 3 years to update people about the status of the chapter. People that have spent money on the FOUNDERS EDITION for the next chapter mind you. If he sold them the game, without the FOUNDERS EDITION and the promises no one would say it was a scam. Yet, he continues to remain silent, leaves the FOUNDERS EDITION up for purchase with the promises of chap. 2, and worst he is active and actively ignoring people asking about it on Reddit. No one is "Stalking" him, just sending him messages which he doesn't reply to while being active. There is no excuse for not communicating the situation. At least David is making quality content AND communicating with his community he built.
This game is really cool and looks great visually with AMAZING sound design and some pretty good gameplay + story to boot, however it's abandonware, so buy Chap. 1 at your own risk. The 2nd chapter that was supposedly "90% complete" has remained unfinished for about 2 years now (has been like this since I bought the 1st chapter in 2023) and Adam Dubi has been completely silent on the game as a whole when asked by fans about it, all while remaining active on socials like Reddit. Overall, It's a cool experience and I would even say (as a huge alien nerd) that this is probably the best alien horror game I've ever played, so it's unfortunate that it ended up being a scam by the dev Adam Dubi. Just be aware you are buying an unfinished game that will remain unfinished and is VERY short (it is essentially a tech demo, albeit a good one) so don't get too attached to it.
Really.... Most 1 hour long horror games are like $3-4 dollars now for that, let alone random indie titles... Emika games, Chilla arts... Supernatural, supernormal.... This puts a bad name to indie horror devs. Guy should be ashamed of himself!
A complete game from AAA is $70 US. An indie game of one man with the amount of content already (Chap 1 and then Some of Chap 2) for $10? And entitled folks think it is a scam? You wish you had 1% of the talent. I am WHOLLY satisfied for the $10 I spent today, and very happy having played Chap 1 and currently at the start of Chap 2 demo. I look forward to additions, but I don't expect them because $10 doesn't in any way grant me super duper rights (read: entitlement) to content that was barely $10. $70, yup, I'd be angry and rightly so. In short, I'm a well-adjusted adult. Context matters.
How on earth did he scam you? You bought a game that was like $6.00, the price of a coffee and maybe a muffin with it.. The game was enjoyable. Whether he said he was making a part 2 or not, he does not owe anyone anything. Let me repeat that for the entitled prick that you are. - He does not owe you or anyone anything. "Unfulfilled promises" .. like he's your dad or something. Get it together man..
Hmm... another keyboard hero??? You wouldn't say that to my face, be sure about that. What I'm talking about is that this is an unfinished project and therefore actually a demo version. And releasing it for such a long time in this false state doesn't seem right to me. By the way, it wasn't $6.00, but $9.00, but that's okay, it's pitty difference...
How many people did this boy financially benefit from like this? I just want him to state publicly that for some reason he doesn't want to or can't continue and that's it.
And this website can delete it or take appropriate steps. So shut up and behave with respect, because you don't know me at all... I'm not talking about myself, but about how wrong this whole thing is. A scam - Nothing more, nothing less.
It was $10 and some of us paid $20 for the "Founders edition" To have our names put in the game... It doesn't bother you no... But I work with a LOT of indie devs who price their stuff way cheaper, Emika games, chilla arts, hitori de games, Tony shoulders. All like 50% time> money ratio. Also... For those who got lied to... Just makes them not want to trust Itch.io and other devs. If this was on steam it would have been refunded.... But it's not... Which is why he clearly used this platform... Disgusting knowing what he's doing.
I hope the Dev is OK. Has anyone heard from him at all? It will be a huge shame if this is abandoned as its an immense game, even from the first couple of levels (although could be optimised a bit better lol)

Good for you... Unfortuntley I also paid extra for the "Founders edition." Keep up the good work and hopefully less people will get scammed.

How do you report it Grunt ? I'd also like to do the same! I also paid for the founders edition
Got it. Didn't realise we could.

An amazing game and I hope one day it will be finished.
Will this game be added to steam one day?
Hey Mate, any update on the development progress?

100%. Leaves devs on here a bad name!!!! This is why People won't pay a lot of money for games!

You've got one-hour long game for 10 dollars, how it is a scam?
Because it is supposed to be more than that. That is what was promised when we all bought into it.
Yep... I paid $20 to be lied too... Thankfully I realise not all devs are scum like this... But I imagine a lot of people will be put off by it.

Are you Adam on his alt?? Because you clearly missed the point of what people are saying
I did not miss anything. I am quite clear I am happy. Do better.
Suck harder
Scam as hell... Unfulfilled promises, insincerity... The boy got money from people and gave up on the project. Who knows where he's enjoying himself.
It would be nice if you at least had the courage and honor to tell us all that you're not going to finish it for some reason. That would be fair.
I want this server to delete this scam, so that he can no longer rob players of time, money and hope.
Enjoy our money...

Hey dev, big fan of your game here, may I have some news ?
please tell me you arent dead, say some thing
I hope the Dev is OK. Has anyone heard from him at all? It will be a huge shame if this is abandoned as its an immense game, even from the first couple of levels (although could be optimised a bit better lol)
