Awesome game! As many others in the comments, truly wish there was a second ending. I didn't see the plot twist coming, even with all of the obvious clues. Would love to see more like this!
Jogo bom e interessante com um plot twist e tanto, pena que não tem outro final onde possamos salvar a Sue e fiquei mal de ter que matá-la.
Hiya! I’m interested in streaming this game, could anyone help let me know what content warnings I might want to be aware of going in? And also average runtime for one ending~?
Hey there Aether!
We're so stoked that you're considering streaming our game!!
We have a disclaimer at the beginning when starting up the game, but the biggest content warnings include; flashing lights, implied animal violence and loud sudden noises.
One playthrough is roughly 15-20 min

I wish there was more to this game since it was so cool
I really liked this game!! Very fun and interesting, and I had a good time playing. I wish there was an ending (SPOILERS!!) where the player could restore the 'you' file and destroy Kevin's - I was very sad killing Sue and wished there was a better outcome. Although, that didn't change my enjoyment of the game and I overall really liked it a lot!!
Really interesting game and I really enjoyed it despite being short, I'm looking forward
for more games from you!Hello!
Thank you so much! We're really glad that you enjoyed it!

This is an extremely solid game overall and it had me hook. I kinda wish there was a second ending at the end. But beyond that, nice job. I suggest you put this on steam.

Hi!
Thank you so much for playing and we're happy that you think there should be a second ending. It was originally planned for it to be two endings but it had to be scrapped due to time constraints.
Thank you for your support!

more of this would be cool
Loved the game. Haven't played any horror games before but this was a great first (10/10). Loved the art too. Just out of curiosity did u guys also have a bad ending in mind say if wrong choices are made cause i was super scared in the entire game. It was beautifully emersive.
I found it to be an intriguing game, with an exceptional setting and quality. Jumping from desktop to desktop is a very original way to advance the story, the pixel art is beautiful, and the way the game's ending unfolds is simply perfect.
9/10 game. Love everything about it. Makes me wish that it had been longer.
Hey Sterelizia!
Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! We're so happy that you enjoyed the style, and the puzzles!

10/10
I love immersive stories like that, where you literally unfold what happened AND WHAT IS happening.
Great pixel art, cool story, reccomendo.
Hmmm, won't confirm nor deny..
(Awesome video dude! Thank you for playing
)

What tools did you guys used for Creating the pixel art?
Hi!
We used Aesprite to make all our graphic assets

What a solid game this was indeed! Very well made game for sure with a great story behind it. Made a video on it.
Hi Fearagen!
Thank you so much for playing and reacting to New Folder!
Awesome video, keep it up!

I really loved how the pixel art still managed to convey such realistic fear, and how the story, though set entirely on a PC screen, delivered some genuinely chilling moments.I'm Japanese and not very fluent in English, but even while translating as I played, I was able to fully enjoy the story. It was a wonderful experience!
Thank you so much for creating such a great game!Hello Syachico!
Wow, we are so happy that you enjoyed our game!!
We feel honored that you were able to experience the story despite missing translate support for other languages.
Thank you so much for playing! Great video as well

Hello! I am Mattsu, a translator from Brazil. I am just starting my carreer as a translator for games and would like to collab with indie devs by providing localization services (for FREE!) to expand my portfolio and acquire more experience. Would a translation/localization in Brazilian Portuguese interest you? Please let me know!

Hello!
No, it's our game

I got stuck on a part with a locked bin folder. Can someone please help me?
At the end of the game? The password hint is YOU, which is the subject of the photo on the desktop with the same name. (The password is you, kevin)
Sometimes, a game appears that blows you away. This is one of them. I truly hope this game gets the attention it deserves. The story is captivating and disturbing, the art is gorgeous, and the cat is cute. What more can you want?
Really good game ! Would recommend it
One of the best text-based horror games of 2025 - banger!
I love playing these type of games and sadly, there aren't many that are good. But, this game completely flips the screen upside down and creates a truly immersive, unsettling atmosphere with superb design and intuitive story. I applaud all the artists, who have worked on this and I can't wait to see more! Please, do make more.
Hey Niven!
Thank you so much for playing through and for your awesome feedback!
We really enjoyed your video and your commentary!! Keep up the good work as well!
Though we're super thrilled over the reactions and encouragement, as of now we sadly do not have any further plans of continuing making any new projects in the near future.
Thank you for your support!

Very good loved it!
guys im typing the dogs birthday...but can u guys specify the format
It's actually just the year minus 1.
thnx mann...i had too much trouble with it😭
This is one of those games you just want to hand people without telling them anything.
Haunting story, Gorgeous pixel art and quite a few scares. Just a game very effective in the experience it wants to give to the players. An absolute slam dunk!
A well told, dark story with super satisfying player mechanics and puzzles. I truly enjoyed unraveling this tale.
I play your game (and a couple others) and leave in depth feedback in the video below. You can also vote for your game to advance in my channels competition for best indie horror game of january over on the channels community page. I'll be 3D printing a scene or monster from the winning game to give to the game dev!
