I have no idea how I found this game so much fun, the little details you added like allowing the player to put anything on to the till, and the other actions the player can take when visiting the store just made the game feel so unique. I especially was not expecting the game to take the story the way it did, I was expecting from what was happening to be in a purgatory death loop, of being forced to go to the store endlessly as your mind collapsed.
Those visuals on the last day were great, you really managed to make everyone look horrific, and the note made me laugh. Can’t wait to see what other ideas that you come up with.

Hey! I played your game on my stream! Watch it to see the live review! Here's the link for it: https://www.twitch.tv/spacematterplay 😄 Game Number: 2 Review ended at : 1:08:00
I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts"
THIS GAME IS SO GOOD THAT I ACTUALLY GOT SCARED!!! I LOVE THAT IT'S SHORT AND CRAZY THINGS HAPPENS AROUND THE STORE NEXT DAY IT'S GOOD AND THE DAY AFTER THAT IT'S MESSED UP LIKE THAT'S COOL!!!
The slow build up followed by the rapid build up when everything goes to hell really pulls the player into the horror side unexpectedly, really made me paranoid. Thank you for making this! 2nd game.
This game really made me want more, both scares and explanations. The progression of creepiness was well timed, and the sounds once everything was revealed were spine chilling.
This was fantastic! I love games like this that start off as a seemingly normal experience, and then turn into an absolute nightmare. The spookiness unfolds in such a great way. I can't recommend this enough! Great work!
Nothing but GREAT things to say about this short, simple, indie horror game! This game really makes the player slowly more and more uncomfortable as they shop for groceries. Very good plot twist as well! GREAT JOB! TOTALLY RECCOMMEND PLAYING THIS!
Just makes me unsure which the name of the game is meant to be. The download file says 'EXPERIMENT' but the Store page and Itchio Store URL says 'Experinent', where N is used twice instead of M?
Hi there, I am DragonExplosion and I am a Youtuber. If you like my videos, please leave a like and subscribe at my channel.
This was a really cool and short horror game that I really enjoyed. I liked the simple concept of a person going to get groceries on a regular basis, turning into something more sinister. The transitioning from an ordinary supermarket to an entire horrifying event definitely caught me off guard and gave me a pleasant surprise for a horror game. I also liked that there were animations made for the beginning of the game and the ending of the game, making the game feel quite complete overall.
I felt that more could be done to show the "Experiment" aspect of the game such as the main character slowly showing symptoms throughout his trips to the supermarket. I liked the usage of the random corpses and the sudden darkness, it really made me feel anxious and alert of my surroundings immediately to find out what is wrong.
Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.

Omg thanks for such detailed review 😊

The escape scene was intense. Smooth gameplay and good graphics. Good game!
Thanks!
Great Game!!

creepy ...
Nothing motivates devs than the words like what you said! Thank you!
No problem! Thank you for watching!
The store URL has a typo in it and it bugs me :C Otherwise, will check out the game
Can you please tell me what typo and what kind of bug have you noticed? Anyway, hope you will like the game :D
Just makes me unsure which the name of the game is meant to be. The download file says 'EXPERIMENT' but the Store page and Itchio Store URL says 'Experinent', where N is used twice instead of M?
yep, corrected. Many thanks for telling me ☺️
Glad you like it
your welcome
Nice game. The ambient sound really sets the tone and having the eyes shine in the darkness is a nice touch. Great job.

REALLY COOL CREEPY HORROR GAME DEV
Loved it. Seemed mundane at first, then it make such a creepy turn!
Cool game! I wish there was something more to the flashing images of the little girl I kept seeing.
Very unsettling, I loved it!
This was something a little different creepy.
Creepy game. I like the atmosphere.

Many thanks for the review and video you've made! I'm glad you liked the game!
That was fun. I wanted it to be longer. Music got REAL intense there at the end!
Thanks! I did my best to make you feel scared. Glad you like it!
