Actual updated version of this game HERE
this makes my skin crawl of my bones
Reminds me of the old days on Newgrounds with Flash horror games. Good times.
I had fun with this title. A nice little quickie for all my horror needs.
I have a playthrough and a review briefly summarizing my overall thoughts, all timestamped accordingly. Enjoy.
I like the art style, i like clowns but i fear them
how am i supposed to edit this game i wanna see the files
My code is unfortunately an utter mess.
cool game! enjoyed the art and spooky atmosphere
Very creative and gorgeous art!
Hear me out on the jack in the box guy when he’s not a long demon
I'm not hearing you out bro.. what's wrong with the demons >:3
"Hear me out" and it's just a guy😭
Hear me out WHEN HE IS A DEMON
Very good game !!!
Very good
ive never played a game like this before , i had fun . very impressive that this was created in only 4 months . keep up the great work !
im terrified
Very interesting!
Really enjoyed this game even if its not what i normally play, loved it good job, made a video on it as well if you're interested:
I admire how scary this game manages to become, with its cute art style and simple game mechanics. it uses them to become scarier, and that's awesome
I'm TERRIFIED of clowns and this is gonna make me have nightmares...amazing game though! I just cannot go through after the lights shut down, the clowns horrify me.
i liked this, cool game
This legit scared me so bad I thought it would be worse 💀
my fear of clowns really stood out in this-
i dont wanna hurt them nooooooo good game!!! tho
i crunch uncooked maruchan ramen with the chicken powder spread across the top
if you read the signs when the lights are off they change i also ept cleaning up during lights off and kept cracking jokes
A little gameplay, a little critique ;)
Really enjoyed this! Would love the story to be expanded on in some way. Reminds me of the Rusty Lake franchise or even a creepypasta.
Gameplay starts at 23:58nice game!! i like it
Great game. Idk but I feel like the jester from lethal company seems to be inspired by the jack on the box from this game.
I loved this! If you blink you miss a lot of the nuanced stuff. Fantastic job on this one, thank you for sharing it with us. <3
This game deserves all the love and praise! A fantastic and disturbing play, absolutely phenomenal!
He killed thise children and turned them into dolls.
That a nice game bro , it like the game of rusty lake - hornor mixed with puzzles. Hope you can create more game like this
this game was fun, i saw this a few years ago and decided i want to play it, but I haven't seen the entire thing but it was really fun to play in general and wasn't expected most of those jump scares
IMO, you should keep the fact that the replay button makes the game crash and just change it to "close", like how some creepypasta ROBLOX games (not promoting ROBLOX) kick you when you finish the main story. I think it would be creepier.
Going to check out what's going on with the replay button. Seems to work fine on my computer.
Huh. A lot of players are saying that it doesn't work for them. Good luck with the issue!
incredible game, so many thoughts. first off, I absolutely LOVE the fact that we get the lore through the paintings. Reminds me of a game that I'm watching the development of. Also the smiling clown really feels like William Afton in a different font lol. And also, the pain of the clowns as you maim them feels genuine, great use of flashing images and sounds.
The only way I was able to get through it was reminding myself that i'm a writer and I unalive people on a daily basis xd
XD
i was confused at the end did I escape or did it trap me?
It trapped you if you broke the music box but you escaped if you didn't
i literally felt like throwing up this was so amazingly awful
this made me so upset :( i love clowns.. but this is a horror which is the point so good job :D
Love love LOVEEE this gamee!
Terrifying, disturbing, and unsettling. I first played this game on another website,* but didn't play it through. I finally built up the courage to play it and it is awesome. I've played it like 5 times.
I love how it gives you that sick-to-your-stomach feeling when playing through the exhibit the second time. (y'know, the spooky time.)
That ending doll always freaks me out X_X
5 stars!!
