THIS IS ACTYALLY SO GOOD BUT IDK HOW TO NOT GET CAUGHT LOL. IM PLAYING THIS IN SCHOOL RN AND I GOT JUMPSCARED SO MANY TIMES AND AT THE END WHEN I GOT CAUGHT I AUDIBLY GASPED EVERYONE LOOKED AT ME.
"before you finish your tasks" what do you mean by that, like, just before you do them all and check the list for the spooky guy, or before i finish a certain one? i am very keen on revenge.
Well that's an insanely generous score but I assure you I'm only going up from here with the quality and effort I put in. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I wish you luck with your YouTube career.
It's likely the doors did hide the creep, yes. That does tend to happen if you enter a doorway right as the creep does. I'm gonna think about reworking the doors. Thanks for playing.
COOL GAME I REALLY LIKE THE VISUALS AND THE LIGHTING OF THE GAME!!! NGL GOT SCARED FROM THE MAN LOL KEEP IT UP GOD BLESS AND JESUS LOVES Y'ALL!!! I JUST WANTED TO SAY TO FIX THE DOORS IT COULD BE ANNOYING FOR SOME PLAYERS BUT NOT FOR ME THO.
WHERE IS THAT PLANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IM STRUGGLINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HELP.
i am having some trouble opening this file. i am on mac btw. i have forgotten how to do the chmod +x command if you know how to do this that would help as i am also having trouble opening things. the error message for this problem is
The application “BGJ 2022.2 - Home Alone MacOS” can’t be opened.
I was worried the MacOS version wouldn't work properly. With no Mac to test it I doubted it would. I'll look into and reply to you again once I think I've fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.
I just figured that i had done the command wrong on terminal i forgot to add a space after chmod +x before i put the file in thats why it wouldn't work. if you need help with the details of the command i can give you them.
how tf do i eat the pizza lol (i'm not kidding i'm currently stuck with the pizza and I don't know how to progress this awesome game help) Edit from two seconds later: i'm an idiot i checked everything EXCEPT the cutting board and that was the solution. :,( im an idiot
I will say that there is a hidden ending if you're looking for another way to complete the game (Hint: There's a certain tool hiding somewhere in the house). As for a hiding ending? I think it's a fun idea. Although I'd have to rewrite the creep AI as for now he just hunts you down no matter where you are. Who knows, maybe I'll incorporate some kind of hiding mechanic in a future horror game.
I loved it it was an amazing game but i kept thinking someone was constantly messing with the doors, I got the "caught" ending and when i turned around to explore some more, there was no jumpscare but i jumped and almost threw my laptop lmao, please make more games like this, and ik the creator probably isnt going to see this but, keep up the amazing work and to all who read this, HAVE AN AMAZING DAY!
Thx 4 the feedback. I agree the mouse sensitivity is inconsistent across builds. From what I can gather, GetAxis functions shouldn't need to be multiplied by deltaTime as Unity handles that automatically, but what I also found out was that the sensitivity on WebGL is naturally much higher because of what it defines as a 'pixel' of space. Instead of fiddling too hard with that I've just tweaked the code a bit and increased the range of mouse sensitivity from the pause menu. As for the movement, that should now also be consistent across platforms/framerates.
Yeah that's the confusing thing, it was kind of the community vs. Unity on that one. If I update this game again I'll look deeper into it but I think I'll just have to let the sensitivity slider be the solution, and keep working on my new game for now, where I have better debug tools to test stuff like that. 👍 Thx again for the feedback.
My girfriend's favorite developers are also puppet combo and Rayll, we had so much fun playing flag guesser in F2F 3. Were really good at flags now and we like your game too. Put it on steam please <3
Glad you liked it. I agree, both of those devs have been big inspirations to me, and both are very talented. I'd like to create something polished that meets modern game standards while also being something I'm proud of before I decide to publish on Steam or other big game markets. Thanks, and nice song btw.
I hope you have the donate feature on your next game, id like to support the projects. Cant wait to see stuff on steam once you are happy with the product. ;)
that was great man i really liked the graphics and atmosphere so much, it really got me on tense congrats, so i hope you keep producing even though it was short and fast you did a great job keep it up!!
Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's not my best work but I'm happy for any traction it brings to my portfolio. These things take time and I plan to only go up in terms of quality and entertainment. Great video btw 👍
sweet little game. love the style. I'm actually an aspiring indie dev myself. Could you elaborate a bit on how you make the vhs style and effects? Can't really wrap my head around it. Thanks!
So for the assets themselves. I sourced CC0 PBR models from places like CGTrader and Polyhaven. It's the same approach as if going for a photoreal look. I then baked the lighting using the Bakery GPU lightmapper, though the Unity lightmapper works fine too. As for the VHS effects, I used Retro Look Pro from the asset store. It's not cheap but a great way to achieve a range of styles easily. My inspiration was the Fears to Fathom game series.
A nice and short horror game about being home alone. The gameplay and style was really well made. I didn't think I'd get the bad ending though but it is what it is.

lol that make me 💀
Take a good look around the house before you finish your tasks. I left a little something for those keen on revenge.
"before you finish your tasks" what do you mean by that, like, just before you do them all and check the list for the spooky guy, or before i finish a certain one? i am very keen on revenge.
in the rooms dresser drawer is a gun, the end of the hall way righthand side furthest from outside door i think
Fun little game, good work :)
Thanks for playing. Hope you have a great day.
DUUDE this game was AMAZING I'm glad I got the chance to play it definitely a 9.2/10 keep up the good work
Here's a Little Gameplay If You're Interested ❤️Well that's an insanely generous score but I assure you I'm only going up from here with the quality and effort I put in. I'm glad you enjoyed it and I wish you luck with your YouTube career.
forget playing horror games at home, im playing this game in my highschool bathroom in the dark alone
Only real gamers play like this.
was there a monster? i got a caught ending while leaving my room door and i didn't see it. the door movement hid everything i guess
It's likely the doors did hide the creep, yes. That does tend to happen if you enter a doorway right as the creep does. I'm gonna think about reworking the doors. Thanks for playing.
COOL GAME I REALLY LIKE THE VISUALS AND THE LIGHTING OF THE GAME!!! NGL GOT SCARED FROM THE MAN LOL KEEP IT UP GOD BLESS AND JESUS LOVES Y'ALL!!! I JUST WANTED TO SAY TO FIX THE DOORS IT COULD BE ANNOYING FOR SOME PLAYERS BUT NOT FOR ME THO.
Glad you enjoyed it, I'm gonna have a think about reworking the doors and see if I can find a good mechanical middle-ground.
Thanks for playing 💪
WHERE IS THAT PLANTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT IM STRUGGLINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HELP.
Take a closer look, you'll find it. I believe in you 💪
AH THANK YOU UR ENCOURAGEMENT HELPED ME FIND IT!!!!! good game btw, almost pooped myself at the end plus I got in trouble for screaming. 💀
That's okay. Just tell em you were hardcore gaming they'll understand.
i am having some trouble opening this file. i am on mac btw. i have forgotten how to do the chmod +x command if you know how to do this that would help as i am also having trouble opening things. the error message for this problem is
The application “BGJ 2022.2 - Home Alone MacOS” can’t be opened.
which means the error message displayed.
this is the error shortened.
The application can’t be opened.
this is a common problem for mac users.
I was worried the MacOS version wouldn't work properly. With no Mac to test it I doubted it would. I'll look into and reply to you again once I think I've fixed it. Thanks for letting me know.
using an extractor called the UNARCHIVER i managed to extract the download zip and open the file :)
I just figured that i had done the command wrong on terminal i forgot to add a space after chmod +x before i put the file in thats why it wouldn't work. if you need help with the details of the command i can give you them.
Short but very fun game.
Nice video, thanks for playing.
TY so much I'll look out to see if you make another game!
Cool game I enjoyed it very much! Hope you enjoy the video aswell lmfao!
Gotta love that intro lmao. Thanks for playing bro.
Made a short video about the game, I really enjoyed it :)
how tf do i eat the pizza lol (i'm not kidding i'm currently stuck with the pizza and I don't know how to progress this awesome game help) Edit from two seconds later: i'm an idiot i checked everything EXCEPT the cutting board and that was the solution. :,( im an idiot
Ay I'm just happy you got there in the end lol. Thanks for playing.
No problem, I loved the game, but i'm wondering if you can hide in the house instead of escaping or being caught? (basically have a hiding ending)

So simple but scary. Im not sure if the doors were more terrifying tho... they were wild.
Glad you enjoyed it. Nice vid btw, keep doing your thing 🤙

Very kind words, means a lot. I can assure you exciting new projects are coming.
:)
Cool vid, thanks for trying the game.
Hi! I'm new here, this was the first itch.io game I tried and I loved it! Good effort.
Glad I got to be your first, welcome to the community 💪
Good game! Those doors tho.
Cool gameplay, thanks for playing.
Its a pretty good game, keep it up!
Good gameplay, thanks for playing.
Unlucky, that.
i remember seeing this on youtube and now i found it lol
i could barely hear the game over my loud ass laptop lmfao
otherwise great game
Thanks. Great video btw, keep it up 👍
Aw thank you!
Simple, but it does a good job with the spooks! :)
Thx. Bigger things on the way.
Your Welcome!
cool man make more games :)
Way ahead of ya. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, great vid 👍
I 100% believe you took the characters from sketchfab
You'd be 100% correct.
camera movement and player movement are incorrectly implemented, either not multiplied by deltat time properly or something else is off.
Thx 4 the feedback. I agree the mouse sensitivity is inconsistent across builds. From what I can gather, GetAxis functions shouldn't need to be multiplied by deltaTime as Unity handles that automatically, but what I also found out was that the sensitivity on WebGL is naturally much higher because of what it defines as a 'pixel' of space. Instead of fiddling too hard with that I've just tweaked the code a bit and increased the range of mouse sensitivity from the pause menu. As for the movement, that should now also be consistent across platforms/framerates.
mouse sensitivity was definitely affected by fps, and atleast according to https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetAxis.html
there is no multiplication by delta time done before giving it to the user.
Yeah that's the confusing thing, it was kind of the community vs. Unity on that one. If I update this game again I'll look deeper into it but I think I'll just have to let the sensitivity slider be the solution, and keep working on my new game for now, where I have better debug tools to test stuff like that. 👍 Thx again for the feedback.
I loved it, For your first game, it was great.
Good job!
I liked it, nice work

Good short horror game!
Thank you for playing :)
dobrá hra
Vd'aka
byl bych rád kdyby jste my na ozkoušení poslal na email hry které vyrobíte protože i Home Alone se blízké době chystám natočit na youtube
přikládám email paulomxn1tv@seznam.cz
Všechny hry, které vytvořím, budou nahrány na mou stránku Itch.io pro snadné stažení. Můžete mě sledovat, aby vám neunikla žádná budoucí vydání.
ok ale kdyby jste se někdy ozvat třeba natočit video z brzo vycházejíc hry od vás jako promo na hru rád pomůžu

Thanks a bunch, brother 👍 I look forward to seeing what other games you come up with
😊👍
A nice and short horror game about being home alone. The gameplay and style was really well made. I didn't think I'd get the bad ending though but it is what it is.
Here's my gameplay of it. It starts at 08:36
Glad you enjoyed it, and don't sweat getting the "bad" ending. They're all kind of the same 🤫
wow se ve muy bien ;)
Gracias
