I won’t lie, the game was pretty mid, badly optimized and the main inspiration for this whole game is from the short horror film called “Other Side Of The Box” which is worth the watch.
I still rated this game 5 starts for the effort.
EDIT: Now that I wrote this review I realized I sounded a by too harsh on your game, it is a decent one, I forgot to mention that it is enjoyable.
thanks mate. Don’t worry, I know it’s rough. This was made a few years ago when I was still trying to work with the engine itself after moving from Unity.
Obviously I’ve learnt a lot since then, and even though I’ve seriously decided on limiting the view on these older projects, fellow devs & friends have said they feel it was best to leave them up so that I can look back on this work.
So harsh or not, it’s okay. I appreciate you playing all the same :)
El efecto del abismo dentro de la caja es de lo mejor que tiene este juego. Ojalá crearan algún juego para visitar el otro lado. Juego corto y divertido.
Muchas gracias por jugar. De hecho, me gusta tu punto sobre la exploración del abismo dentro de la caja. tal vez podría volver a visitar esto en el futuro. gran idea.
Thanks for playing. Not sure what you mean though? The game tells you where to go and only a few select items can be interacted with. There shouldn't be any heavy use of clicking so I'm assuming you just chose to click everything
My wife left the stove on and she regrets everything.
This was quite fun! I've mostly been walking around the block, checking on the neighbor's, since my wife did not respond with "burn it all" the second the box was in my home.
I also loved the short movie, that inspired this game (I presume)
Never trust late night packages! Especially the ones that you did not request haha I like the different elements implemented in the game that you normally don't see in indie horror projects, i.e. the camera cutting away for the gameplay, stopping gameplay so the player will listen to dialogue, even leaving the main area of the game and coming back. They would've been a lot better if fine-tuned to be fluid with the gameplay, but they still act as something much different than what's typically seen.
Aaron the frickin wise! My homie Heir And Animal been playin all your games and I finally decided to check you out.. and your a straight up savage lmao. The weird concept and style of the game is a literal masterpiece! I’m going to be checking out each and everyone of your games! Loved it so much!
Haha thanks my dude I’m always gonna be ready to play your games.. also what’s the connection between you, trial by fire, and Matt reeves? Are you and Matt reeves trial by fire but you guys also make your solo games?
Thanks so much for playing. I’ve dropped you some love on YT. Make sure you keep growing organically though & don’t do sub for sub. I’ve got some great stuff coming to itchio soon, so make sure you are following to be the first to play new releases.
Hey man, you did a great job with this for 5 days! I feel like with some more time you could make something really awesome. I'll keep following you if you make anything else, but I had a great time with this one regardless. Thanks for sharing it!
I really enjoyed the concept of this game tbh! and for only 5 days it took to create it is amazing for its time! I had problems placing the box down for some reason. I kinda expected how it would end but apart from that Really good short horror and is worth playing.
It actually wasn’t. Prior to this release I hadn’t seen it, but, I have seen it now. There are only a few things that are similar and they are a stretch at that. But I can see how people are connecting the two. Yeah the short film was great & definitely nightmare fuel.

Thanks for playing friend. I liked your video and left a sub
1st game, still finding the correct audio mix
1 question though, was that intentional? the mouse clicking?
Thanks for playing. Not sure what you mean though? The game tells you where to go and only a few select items can be interacted with. There shouldn't be any heavy use of clicking so I'm assuming you just chose to click everything
Nice Game!!!

Great Work!
thanks mate! I really appreciate you saying so. Yeah, just need players to relax from time to time & behave and play the game as it’s intended XD
This was a very interesting concept. I like it. Although now I'll never trust box in my life again.
hey man, thanks so much for checking out the game & sorry I’ve given you future nightmares hehe
dude! Thanks so much! Welcome to the party & you are a legend!
Haha thanks my dude I’m always gonna be ready to play your games.. also what’s the connection between you, trial by fire, and Matt reeves? Are you and Matt reeves trial by fire but you guys also make your solo games?
I am trial by fire. That’s the indie studio name.
Matt reeves is his own developer. Matt was the one who started me on game development & we are good friends.
Does this game have jumpscares? Just curious!
maybe one jumpscare. But it’s not really meant to be a horror game
Ok!Thanks for telling me
Thank you for all the support and help by playing my game. I really appreciate it
Send it to PO BOX 7135, Buckingham Palace

Awesome little horror game, another game I think would be cool to have an extended version.
Thanks so much for playing. Make sure to check out he keeps me here. Thanks for supporting me :)
I'm assuming this game is based off the 2020 Short Film "Other Side of the Box?" If so great Execution! The Game and Film are both Amazing!
It actually wasn’t. Prior to this release I hadn’t seen it, but, I have seen it now. There are only a few things that are similar and they are a stretch at that. But I can see how people are connecting the two. Yeah the short film was great & definitely nightmare fuel.
