yeah :( thanks for the thingie though, now i can progress (yaaay)
this was honestly a VERY nice short horror game. the ending could've been a bit better, but the use of the internet for the puzzles was a genius idea
it took me like twenty minutes to get past the first puzzle because i didnt realize you had to actually use the internet lmao
i couldn't too, i closed it, i read the comments, i saw your comment, i reopened it
what do these flies even do man why are they locked up SET THEM FREEE
I played this game one night when I was bored and honestly? I enjoyed it despite being short. I appreciated the puzzles and codes esp with the use of ciphering/decoding aspect and the need to look up stuff on the internet. Cam 2 really scared me because it was so unexpected. Keep up the good work!
a must play, loved it. 10/10. the man in camera 2 scared the shit out of me though when I saw him LMFAO
i cant get onto cam 2
Once you complete some of the puzzles, you should get access!! :)
I got jumpscared by the man in camera 2 lol.

very cool game, liked the old style video quality etc. I do wish it were creepier would have loved to see the game enhance on the the fear
It is 2007. You are a security guard at the mysterious agency 'the FCL'. It's your first night on the job. Bro wtf is FCL just say its SCP bro for real

HOW DO YOU DO THE LIGHT PUZZLE
You just light up specific rooms then go to those rooms to get the information. you dont need them all lit up at once

The Caesarian shift made me feel so smart, because by a friendly turn of fate I already knew what it was. And also WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH THE FLIES LIKE WHAT HAPPENS ONCE THEY"RE OUT?????
at the cam2 puzzle i thought it was supposed to put "there will be light" lol
same lol
may have jumped a wee bit after the light puzzle lmao
Very well made! I love the use of real websites and strange ciphers!
Guy in room 2 caught me off guard a bit lol!
I just wish it was a little longer!
cool!!! but nothing happened at the end, they got out and that was all and i didnt even see anything just got a message that says they got out, this normal? otherwise this was very cool!!
this game... IS SO COOL
Holy shit. I just finished the light puzzle and went to the second room. Boy, oh, boy, was I not expecting that.
I finished the game it was amazing!
jumpscare fr fr
I love games like these!
However, i do feel like the story is a little bit confusing or even nonsensical. I would love to know if there's a meaning behind the flies in the jar!
Keep up the good work! ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ 6/10
JESUS CHRIST this was horrifying 10/10
This is fab thanks
i love this game <3
I LOVE GAMES LIKE THESE OMG AMAZING GAME MAN!!!! <3 <3
why the fuck is english the only version behind a paywal
Feel free to play in the browser!
ok but why put the english version on itch io specifically behind a paywall
Because someone did the Spanish translation out of the kindness of their hearts and this game was part of a bundle where you could buy all the games I made that year to support me.
It is the exact same version as the browser game it was just a donation perk.
