Wow, this game is awesome! Great job guys for making a fun short horror game. As a deaf person I struggled with the audio tape recorder, but it made it somehow more fun for me. I'm glad you added subtitles to the phone call. I also kept forgetting to turn off the light and got attacked a lot, the attacker is quite startling. I hope to see more from you guys!
Very entertaining video! You definitely startled me at the beginning. I'm so glad you were able to finish the game and experience the ending. How lucky you were at the end indeed! Thanks so much for playing :)
Just wanted to let you know that we've just released our newest game which is actually the sequel to Cheating Death! I will attach the link here: Cheating Fate. We would love for you to check it out!
pretty sure this game is buggy, when i turn off the lights right wen i heard the footsteps a few seconds later he kills me but if i had my loud printer on he doesn't, it really made me confused
Hi! Few things to note here (I'm replying the same thing under your comment section of the video).
1.) The game is NOT troll nor buggy (as far as I know).
2.) You were not utilizing an extremely key aspect of the game, which was to 'Hide Under Desk', found on the Quick Tutorial page that you have access to every time you press Play or by pressing Escape. Instead of playing the game the same way and dying the same way every time, you should realize the key mechanic you were missing. So if it's so key, why isn't it clearly addressed in the paper? That mechanic is so important, that it just so happens to help you prevent death every time. So I intended for the player to figure it out shortly after dying a few times.
3.) Why did you keep dying even after turning off the lights? The paper said that the killer is ATTRACTED to light, but in real life, a murderer has their ways. It is not 100% prevention. Turning off the light actually helps a lot. A lot of players forget to utilize this and waste a lot of time. Like I said, even when he opens the window regardless, you had to hide under the desk.
As for the loud printer, that was just a coincidence. You turned off the lights and he ran away. Nonetheless, I'm glad you gave the game a try! I appreciate the game commentary and feedback. Knowing this new information, I really hope you'd give the game another try.
I played through a couple of times and got both endings. Just like games such as FNaF and Welcome to the Game, you have to have a plan and a routine. Wonderful game overall! I quite enjoyed playing it! I might make a video playing it!<3
We tried to make it so that the player is inclined to strategize in order to beat the game (at least efficiently). I'm very glad you got to experience the endings! If you make a video, we will most definitely watch it. Let us know :)
This game really took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to feel as paranoid as I did, and the gameplay is genuinely fun. The ending is a perfect fit. Overall this is just a great experience!
Hey there! We just recently released the sequel to this game! We would greatly appreciate it if you give it a chance and try it out! The link to the page is here: Cheating Fate
this game is a pretty good concept for a game very similar to welcome to the game it has sound mechanics and I like the mechanic of filling out the police reports and the killer got me a couple time (scare wise) and the recorder is a really good mechanic as well it makes it harder to hear the killer sneaking up to you, over all pretty epic game if you want to see my playthrough of this (not the full game sadly I couldn't beat it) here is a link to it
if you watched I appreciate you and consider subscribing it really helps my channel grow and even if you just checked it out I still appreciate that
Thanks for the awesome video and commentary. I learn a lot about how others play and what things I can fix/balance to make the player experience more satisfactory. I appreciate your feedback a lot. We hope you try out the game sometime in the future again till the end as we just updated the game to be slightly easier in regards to getting particular answers wrong. Thanks for playing!
Hi BlizzardSunny! We just wanted to reach out again and mention that we've just recently released the sequel to this game, Cheating Fate! We would absolutely love for you to check it out.
I loved the simplicity of this, almost seeming like Welcome To The Game Jr in a very good way. The reveal of the last document was very creepy, and I'd totally get murdered again.
Thanks so much for the gameplay as well as the video! The reason why you kept dying was because you didn't utilize the 'Hiding under the Desk' mechanic. There is also a good ending and bad ending! Unfortunately, you only experienced the bad ending
*spoilers ahead* A pretty good game actually. The concept is nice, but the mechanics are fairly simple. There isn't a lot to manage. I liked the jump scare. I love the concept that the last document was actually about yourself.
Yo, not gonna lie this game was really good. It took me a sec to get the entire concept, but it was very entertaining. You really gotta pay attention to what your doing so you don't die, plus its hella scary and makes you anxious. I don't wanna say too much to spoil the game, but I promise you will enjoy it.
Honestly really enjoyed playing this. the difficulty level of normal seemed impossible at first and I had to lower it to easy but once you get a feel for the game it comes natural. I Especially enjoyed how the game kept my attention the entire time by making me constantly paranoid of the audio cues. good game.
