Great game! Don't know what I just played but reminded me of Silent Hill! Awesome Job!!

This game was CRAZY! I had someone look up what barbotine meant and it helped me understand the imagery a lot better, but this is a SUPER INTERESTING concept. Great Job!!

An interesting little horror game with unsettling visuals! I was less keen on the combat mechanics, though that may just be me being crap. Nonetheless, decent stuff overall!

I was expecting body horror and I got MUCH MORE. From the combat to the aesthetics and just the visuals in general, amazing. One of the most unique games on Itch for sure. I'm very surprised this was free. I would gladly pay for more in this style. Amazing job ! 

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

This was a fun combat horror game! The sound design is very good. I didn't need to add any extra eerie background music or anything which I usually do for some of my videos. 

The combat was difficult but I loved the challenge. It was good that you added easy mode for anyone who had a difficult time! Fighting the enemies on the stairs was very hard but you could use the tv to move behind them.

I love the PSX style and the enemy design! Thanks for the fun game!

Sup guys the game was fun. Loved the tentacles and all the wackiness. Also, loved that as the days progressed you were more a monster. The fighting was challenging but still fun. Great job devs you guys know how to throw parties.

REALLY COOL GAME KEEP IT UP!!! I REALLY LIKE THE AESTHETIC GOD BLESS!!!

I really enjoyed the game, the sound design is VERY well made, even using free sounds, you you managed to ensure that all the sounds were very well placed, they clearly indicate what is happening, as well as visually, you don't feel bored playing because there is always some movement on the screen or something moving, although at times they are repeated and could have a few more different things, in any case it was an extremely fun game to experience, congratulations!

(+1)

really well made and impressive game, great effort

(+1)

Anxiety-inducing atmosphere, I love the fact that the vision narrows. A good game without jump scares, what a pleasure! Video in French :D

(+1)

I really enjoyed the narration and the experience itself.
Didn't quite got the ending, it was something unique!

I chose to stream this game! The game is at 1:08:22

This was quite cool & unique, I loved the timing and fighting part. it was atmospheric, creepy, and weird. I unfortunately couldn't complete the game, but it's a game I'd come back to finishing! 

Here is my video to the stream, enjoy! You have my support.

Fue una experiencia cuanto menos curiosa y un poco perturbadora xD
(+1)

This game was great... It isn't a "walking simulator" and has great combat system that is very fun. Barbotine is a wonderful experience that YOU ALL SHOULD TRY. And it was very trippy

This Game is a TRIP!  I like how it forces you to do close combat! I did have issues fighting on the stairs. Other than that, Great game!
