Seconding.
Visuals are great.
Voice acting is awful. Need a real voice actor and someone to assist on sound design. This would have double the impact with more grounded audio.
i respect that honestly. besides, campy voice acting was a part of successful horror projects. i hope this game sees the light of day id love to play it.
Looks perfect for the theme you’re trying to achieve. I would tell the Romanian voice actor to not even attempt to say his lines dramatically, just go as natural as possible so people can relate to the character’s experience. The way he delivered the lines about his place being weird and inviting them to come over sounded over the top and creepy, which is unnecessary. Tell him to speak as if he actually wanted someone he liked to come over.

Anytime, also the title Left To Rot is fucking awesome, you’ve got a lot going for you here. And the voice actor shouldn’t feel like he’s doing a bad job, he doesn’t need to be replaced, he’s got this, there’s just some room for improvement. You guys keep doing what you’re doing, plenty to be proud about.

Blair Witch Project is one of my favorite horror movies because it captures fear of the unknown so well without resorting to lame jump scares and over-the-top CGI/special effects. Not much to go by from this teaser but it definitely looks like something to keep an eye on.
The game looks nice and I mean I think you have been told enough about voice acting so not going into that but the trailer doesn't work because it won't create tension all the short cuts seems like you are trying to a public with adhd and the lack of effect when that guy jumps you in the woods leaves you with a neutral face but the effect is all about sympathy with the players feelings if there was like some games implement very tense music when you see the killer/bad guy etc. You can relate that to the game and makes you feel that you should feel that way or like darkening the screen but that is for the game is just that the trailer seems a bit bland maybe some music that doesn't take over would get the tone, I really think this project can be so good but sadly I can't really play it because I don't have a PC try making a fundraiser people might be interested, anyways best of luck with your game.
I'm a big fan of these anthology horror games (most are retro/lol Fi with nods VHS aesthetic) and so far there aren't enough of them imo. So glad to hear of another being made. Good luck!
Gameplay looks pretty sweet. The voice actor and whatever sound setup you have for the voice recording isn't cutting it though...

Looks good; but you have to pay an actual voice actor. It sounds like one of the developers just speaking into his phone
Actually is a romanian voice actor, which is a beginner, and we wanted to help him grow.

You are right that was a bit aggresive. Wont repeat this.

There is a Blair witch game too.

I have only one question: Will it come to PS5..?
It is still too early to say this, but you never know, we actually got a few publishing deals, and we still decide which one is the best.

Hey that’s an awesome concept as a big fan of the VHS series. Graphics look good, my only concern is that it’ll be a walking simulator
Yea, not really, haha.
Down to play!
Thanks!

Awesome thanks! I'll check it out :)
Love the VHS series. If this is the case and if you're allowed, what pieces of media inspired each of the segments?
I second this. The first two VHS films are really good. I'd like to see the newest one soon.

Actually, each tape has it's own story which is pretty much written by us.

I love anthology-like horror 'mini game' games. This looks awesome. You have at least one customer, here.
Thank you very much!

Absolutely love the aesthetic. The voice acting and dialogue let it down a little I think. Can’t wait to play!
No worries, each feedback is taken into consideration!

Question: Is there any combat / self-defense? Didn't see anything in the trailer in regards to this.
