You wake up trapped in a strange place, unable to speak, a mask covering your face, and no clue how you got there. You’re not alone. Something—or someone—is watching you. The Stranger is a psychological horror experience where every sound matters and every step could be your last.
I thought this was an interesting game to play in which you have to time yourself well to outsmart the killer. Apologies for posting this twice, but I messed up with the original recording and I had to make a new one.
Awesome game! I had a lot of fun playing it. It's really well made, and I enjoyed finding all the clues without getting caught. Can't wait to see more games from you! 🥰
This was excellent! I had fun with this. The build up of the tension, because you knew you didnt have a long time before The Stranger came back. There were moments where I thought he was going to attack because like the wrench was missing, flashlight, clock was clean.. and the vent. It would've added to the difficulty ahah. Was there other ways to complete? and also, what was the bottle from the vent for? Here is my gameplay!
Cool video! Glad you enjoyed the game. I considered having pickups contribute to suspicion but decided against it to make things easier for me and the player. The alcohol is combined with the rag to clean the clock. It's never stated explicitly but items are subtly removed from the inventory once used. Currently there's only one way to beat the game. Could change in the future, who knows? Thanks for playing 🙏
Thanks for playing. I was worried almost nobody would solve the lock puzzle based on play testing but everyone in the comments has got it so far, so I guess it's not too complicated. Glad you enjoyed 🙏
The game was really interesting! The key puzzle was tricky at first, but solving it felt super satisfying. It made me think, and I really enjoyed it overall.
Thrilling experience, intense and definitely anxiety inducing - well done!
The puzzle elements of the game were simple, yet gave some food for a thought at times. The atmosphere was amazing, especially for a game set in a single location. I would love to see the continuation of the main character's story or maybe have an additional project dedicated to the kidnapper. Overall - this was solid!
Very kind words, thank you. While it is a finished game, and I'm unsure if I'll revisit its characters or story, I did consider the possibility of doing so during development and purposefully left the ending a bit open-ended for a potential continuation down the line. As of right now though, I'm gonna try to diversify my portfolio with different genres of games with different settings and aesthetics. Thanks for playing.
The game is really interesting! I had a bit of trouble understanding the key puzzle at first — maybe a small hint or sound cue could help. Still, it was satisfying once I figured it out!

Lol that whole rating idea was so goofy.

Amazing game, loved the parts when the bag is on my head , and I can see through the fabric !! Nice work!
Well I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing 🙏
Pretty good at keeping tension up, it's a nice little puzzle game though I have no idea how I solved the lock puzzle. Also, that payoff was fantastic.
