If anyone here is into horror games it would be amazing if you guys can give it a look and consider wishlisting it as it helps me out a lot! I'd love to hear tips or opinions on the game page! Thank you ❤️🎮

Wishlisted, do you plan to support the SteamDeck?

    Thank you so much! I really want to, it depends on how hard it will be to do, but I will definitely give it a try 🙏🏽

    I think you will be relieved at how easy it is. A lot of games are flawless on Deck without the developers even targetting Deck or linux at all, since Proton has gotten so good. Here's Valve's guideance: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/3001070242218057029

    Dude it looks great! Congrats. How big is your dev team? I’ve always been curious about creating my own game.

    I looks great, not going to lie.

    But...

    This is more of a general question. I don't get why people are attracted to horror games (or movies). As a working father and husband with couple non-gaming hobbies, my computer time is limited and I only get to gaming late(ish) in the evening before bed time. With all the shit that today world offers IRL, playing stressful horror game isn't something I'd want. I'd much rather relax play something with simple mechanics or with very simple premise behind it, like e.g. wolfenstein: nazis are bad, you are good, shoot all the nazis, the end. It's just... my mind can't comprehend this. Who plays these games?

    I think for most it's about escaping their own problems and see someone else's wayyy worst problems. About horror games specifically, I always enjoyed the thrill of it, being sacred as hell, and full of adrenaline but yet I'm in the most safe place (my house) so I get to face fears / get scared but still know that I'm perfectly safe, there is something fun about it, hope that answered 😀

    There are two upcoming games with the title "Abaddon" in the store. Both are horror fps.

    Were you aware of this?

    I put the one that looks like yours on my wish list.

    Yep someone decided to name their game Abaddon also (my game page and demo was up at least a year before) I have no idea why steam would allow two games with the exact same name 🤷🏽‍♂️

    Thank you so much for checking it out and wishlisting it! It helps a lot!

    Quick feedback on the experience of casually browsing to your steam page: the trailer that autoplays spends the first ~20s being mostly just black. First person view of running and then hiding in a closet, then black, then a very dimly lit room, with cuts to what looks like the player inspecting a doll. I can't have sound on right now, so I don't know if there is interesting audio happening.

    I highly recommend those first few seconds of the autoplay trailer showing something more compelling. IMO the best case outcome for someone in my shoes is, I see something in those first few seconds that makes me go "oooo, hell yeah, that looks interesting" and I click Add to Wishlist. Instead my first thought was "there's no way this has just been black for 20s" and checked my brightness settings to see if I was missing something.

    Hi thank you for checking it out and thank you for the feedback!

    I am working on a new trailer at the moment, Although I must say, I think you might have a bug, there are no more than 3 consecutive seconds where it's all just black, it may show things differently on some devices.

    Either way this trailer is temporary, I'm not that good at marking / trailers and stuff, and I know it is very important.

    Will try to put up a more impressive trailer soon , thanks again 🙏🏽

    There is an old game with the same name, just so you know. https://www.myabandonware.com/game/abaddon-bwy

    Was this in any way inspired by Hell House? I’m only asking because of the name Abaddon. Haha. I’ll check this out once it is released!

    I know right?! The demo had been up for a long time, I feel like it's important for players to have the chance to see if they can enjoy the game before they pay for it, it's the only right thing to do, especially if you are an unknown indie developer 😄

    Thank you for the support!
