UPDATE
Thanks for everybody who reported issues they encountered, they've been fixed and game is even more enjoyable now, thank you once again for helping me improve myself!
***Some windows devices flagged my game as a virus or malware, and I feel the urge to write it here so you don't have to read comments to find the answer, GAME IS NOT A VIRUS, my games are safe, they are not infected with some malicious files, never were and never will be, I'm looking into potential fix so (mainly) Windows 11 devices won't false flag my game anymore, thank you for your time and wish you all the best!

Awesome and interesting game
Thank you for playing and making a video on my game! Wish you all the best!
Message for anyone that gets this file deleted automatically on a Windows PC. When downloading, make sure to download the RAR file into an external HDD/SSD and not your C drive. This solved the problem for me. Hope it solves it for you as well :o]
Thanks man, haven't figured out what is causing damn problem yet, thanks for the solution and taking your time to share it with the rest of us!
You're welcome.
When communities deploy teamwork, everybody benefits :o]
Really enjoying your games recently. This one and Reverend have been very fun to play.
Thank you very much! It really means a lot and I'm very glad that you like my creations, thank you and wish you all the best!
Your games are really well made, bro. I'm glad my game is competing with yours. Wishing you all the best in your game dev journey! Much love <3
Huge thanks! I really appreciate all the compliments you gave me and congratulations on your last game's success, it's absolutely well deserved, best wishes in your game dev journey too! Best to you!
Excellent game
Thank you very much! Really means a lot!
is this a virus? because windows detected flagged this as a virus?
It isn't, and I'm really not sure why did windows flag it, one of the fellow creators had the same problems few weeks ago, Itch's auto system is pretty unreliable these days, sorry that you experienced the issue but I tell you once more, DON'T WORRY, GAME IS NOT A VIRUS, best to you!
this was a blast wish I knew what I was fixing though xD
Thanks for making a video on my game! Really glad that you liked it! Best to you!
This game looks so good for how it runs, how did you get it so smooth?
Huge thanks! "secret" is, models are low poly and textures are what makes them look detailed, of course theres other optimization tricks like reducing draw calls, occlusion culling etc., best to you!
Thanks for playing and making a video on my game!
Nice game! Looking forward to your next project.
Monumental thanks for playing my game and making a video on it! Really means a lot! Best to you!
Yo tengo wind 11 pro y no tuve ningún problema dejé mi Gameplay más arriba
Really really glad to hear that!
Thank you very much!
Great game Vuk Dobric! I enjoyed the experience a lot.
Thank you very much! Appreciate it!
After downloading, Windows 11 pro deleted this RAR file and stated: "
Trojan:Script/Wacatac.B!ml
Detected by Microsoft Defender Antivirus
Anybody else got this message?
Thanks in advance!
What I can tell you is that game is completely safe, I made it and it's not in my interest to infect peoples computers with malware, winrar might be a problem, do you want me to upload another file, just folder no zip stuff, so you can just download it and play without any extracting, that should fix it, thanks for reaching out and wish you all the best!
Thank s for replying. I'll try it again and see what happens.
I've got a similar problem, defender won't let me extract the files and now the Icon is stuck and cannot be deleted or moved.
There is a issue with windows security stuff, not really sure why but I'll try my best to look into it, just remember to not worry, game does not have a virus or whatever windows auto flagged it to have, best to you!
I think the game is interesting in some ways.
I really like the beginning, starting different from almost every horor game about working late, but at some point of the game (when you enter the code), it starts to feel "weird", like it doesn't make sense and it's all random, or maybe I just didn't connect with the game.
Thanks for compliments, and the feedback, and sorry that you didn't really understand what was going on, basically, dude in the hat was stalking us, and he clearly has some superhuman powers, thanks for commenting, wish you all the best!
Thanks a lot! I'm really really glad that you liked it and wrote such a great review, thanks for picking up on some little details and atmosphere related stuff, thanks once again and best wishes!
Thank you, you absolute legend, you played everything I ever made and I'm really really grateful for it. Thank you for being the best!
Great game! I really enjoyed it and i screamed lol.
Huge thanks for playing and making a video on my game! Really glad that you liked it too, best to you!
Cool game! Short but sweet! I love all the bits of lore of the serbian state scattered here and there in your games!
The atmosphere was pretty cozy tbh
Don't know why but watching the janitor crashing to the ground with that little scream made me giggle (I'm a horrible person)
Good job on the various "transitions" with those cutscene, I liked them a lot
For a short game, the work behind it was insane (in a good way!)
5 out of 5
Thanks dude, glad you picked up on my native language references and all, I make them for a few people that will catch it and I'm really glad when someone points them out! Thanks for all the compliments and kind words, best to you!
This was nice and short! I liked the atmosphere in the alley bit, was quite spooky & in the basement! I found it amusing in some moments too and I got spooked! Good job! Keep up the good work! I liked the transitions between the train station & into the alley, and the style was nice!
You have my support for whatever you have next! Here is my gameplay!
Monumental thanks for your support, it really means a lot and I'm very grateful for all the compliments you gave! Wish you all the best!
Short but not bad at all! Dig the premise for sure. Had some weird bugs like the pause menu opening by it's self without pressing ESC and some mouse jumping problems it felt like. Apart from that, pretty good! Made a video on it.
Thank you for making this video, it really means a lot and I really love your channel btw, fixed all the issues you mentioned, thanks for giving me all the compliments and feedback! Best to you!
Thank you for the compliments and feedback! I'll see what it is with pause screen opening itself as soon as I'm on my pc again, weird mouse behaviour is actually intentional in the basement as I tried to represent in game characters fear and hiw he slowly loses sanity, sorry that it damaged your experience and immersion, thanks once again and wish you all the best!
Interesting effect to make intentional. My mouse is overly sensitive half the time so I am never sure what it is up to. Seemed like business as usual. If I had a better mouse I may have caught that. Haha
One of the BEST short horror games, I've ever played. Basic story, linear 'puzzle' and a creepy - yet realistic atmosphere. 10/10
Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your kind words. It means the world to me, and I feel genuinely honored. Huge thanks for making a video as well. Wishing you all the best!
Thank YOU for creating!
"Cry Of Fear" fans unite, because this game takes us on another journey, which is spiced well with tension and superb storytelling - bravo Mr. Dobric!
I will put aside my admiration and love towards your games and try to be more direct and objective towards this (at least I will try). The game is great. I loved the cutscenes! The environment truly reminded me of "Cry Of Fear" and the main character felt real to me. Side characters had some depth and sound design was good. Truly immersive experience.
There was a subtle commentary on the workers situation and that felt like an underlying theme in the game, which elevated the quality of this for me. Every game you've made has that special sauce, a different look and I can't wait to play more of your games in the future.
No performance issues, everything ran smooth. 5/5!
Best of luck dear friend and keep the games coming.
P.S. Sorry for not making a recording of the gameplay, because currently I am sick. I tried to record a game yesterday and after that my voice was literally gone. Hopefully, I can get well for your next game.
No problem, my friend! A review like this is something every dev dreams of. You're doing amazing work, discovering new developers, supporting them, offering thoughtful suggestions to help them grow. Our world definitely needs more people like you! Get well soon and wish you all the best!
Enormous thanks for playing and making a video on my game, it really helps and I couldn't thank you enough for this, wish you all the best!
Got a couple of jump scares in there! Was a fun adventure, I enjoyed the puzzles and the messages.. I am going crazy!
Thanks for compliments, glad you enjoyed it! Wish you all the best
Oh wow, I just followed you yesterday cus i'm in love with the style of your games.
This is a nice surprise!
Thank you for kind words! It really means a lot, really hope you'll like this one too! Best to you
Never have I been jumpscared by a security guard twice LOL.
Fun experience for how short it is (the rats were really cute)
Haha, sorry if it was too much! Rats were added pretty late in development and difference with and without them is pretty noticable, thanks for commenting!
What a great game! congratulations my friend!
Thank you my friend, for supporting my game and being the best! Best wishes!
