I'm not gonna lie, I was quite startled. But i did find it fun to watch the other people on this page play the game for a few seconds. a little meta, but it was fun! Thanks for the fun experence!
I was creeped out the entire time. I just wanted some water but whatever that was didn't wanna see me be happy. lol, it's the 3rd game in my three random games. hope you enjoy
Normally, i went for some water. The game is pretty short and, in principle, it's good, a couple of scary moments and the ending is open. Respect. My walkthrough is in russian:
Rus: Нормально так сходил за водичкой. Игра довольно коротенькая и в принципе это хорошо, пару страшных моментов и концовка открытая. В общем респект. Моё прохождение на русском выше :)
Played your game for a random indie horror video. Awesome short horror experience in my opinion! I definitely didn't overanalyze what I had to do and get lost... and cut out a bunch of it... lol. I got a clear feeling of being stalked. Thank you for making it!
Good game! Very neat, short horror experience. PS1 style graphics is easy on the eyes to play, most of the time. The whole idea is nice, and the sound design is what really sold it. Great job on that one.
Good stuff devs! Looking forward to more projects.

The atmosphere was so good, it was a lot scarier when I didn't know where he was, than when i could see him. Still, Great game, keep it up!
---QUESTION BELOW, MIGHT BE CONSIDERED A SPOILER---
When he was in the kitchen, was he supposed to be dancing up and down? I feel like he was supposed to be just standing there but idk, what did you see?
Enjoyed this way more than I thought I would! It was fun, and did pretty well with the environment and the sounds combined! The spook at the end wasn't loud or anything (which is so different from other games (in a good way)) and you really did build it up to the end with all the things going wrong in the house! You took a basic thing that almost everyone might do and tried to make it into horror which wasn't half bad!
This game was great in its scary environment. Couldn't stop being paranoid. You should check out my video below even though it might be worse in quality compared to the ones below.
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (the game is the 1st there)) Likes and subs are highly appreciated!!:
Advantages:
I love the spooks! They were subtle at first and then unexpected and very cool! I think that you had a very clear idea of what the player would think at a certain moment and you find a way to surprise them (at least me)). Great job!
Disadvantages:
I wish there'd be more endings! For example, if there'd be an option to wake the parents up or to get out of the house and something like that. You don't even have to animate endings or anything of that sort, a short epilogue would do! I feel that the game would benefit a lot from that!
Overall:
It was a very cool experience but I'll rate it 4/5 stars because I think it could be so much cooler if player would have more options on how to act. I mean, if I'd seen something in my house, I wouldn't just go to bed to try to sleep the nightmares away, I'd act differently.
Your stupid low polygon graphic video game can't scare me!! I am brave and fearless!! I was only screaming with laughter at the end because of how ridiculous I thought this game was, It had nothing to do with me being spooked. Because when your brave and fearless like me you laugh in the face of danger all the time.
The game is very effective at creating a creepy atmosphere. The sounds were really good and I really liked the scary creeper-like thing. The protagonist didn't seem to be that intelligent. Even by horror game/movie standards, they seemed to be either really dumb and/or unaware of their surroundings. Was a fun, short horror experience and I enjoyed it! Great job on the game!
Dying of Thirst is a short 5 minute game which was an enjoyable and creepy experience. As a student of Vellore Institute of Technology, Bhopal Campus, India, we, students of the Game Development branch were made to post a detailed review of a game of our choice on a public platform as an activity, and this will be an in-depth review of the short game.
The game’s concept is pretty simple and to the point as we should expect from a short game. The player in a first person point of view wakes up in the middle of the night as he realizes that he is thirsty and needs to drink some water. So leaves his room to get water from his fridge in the kitchen of the house. Along the way the atmosphere of the home is pretty creepy which gives a scary element to the game that I thoroughly enjoyed.
The thing which I liked the most from the game is its choice of sound effects. They were as good as it gets and helped a lot in setting up the scary element of the game. The controls were easy with the WASD keys moving the player and the mouse to look. The only aspect of the game that lacked impact on me was the last scene which was meant to be a jump scare but the visual of the ghost/monster wasn’t captivating enough to scare me even though the choice of sound effect was good again.
Overall, I’ll say that the game was an enjoyable short play and that it was able to keep me creeped up for the 5 minutes, the audio and sound effects being the highlight of it. So I’ll rate it a 7/10.
Fun game! Honestly, I never expected it to actually be effective. Short but sweet, this game accomplished what seems to be intended. Reminds me of one of those “Tell a scary story in one sentence, but in game form.

Definitely a good game. One of the best short Horror games I have ever played. It was very simple and atmospheric which I love in horror games.
