For some reason I was too scared to continue!!
Incredible! ❤️
Cool game here's a speedrun
Yours is the 5th game that I played
I had fun playing this game it had tension that I liked, and I liked how you were playing as a kid, also I liked the inclusion of Christmas.
Really enjoyed this one. The snowmen were very unsettling. I believe I had a unique reaction to the creature. Visually nice. Controls worked great. Good job.
Yep. This was interesting.
1st
Интересная игра! Немного страшно но и смешно было. :).
Cool game! A little scary, but also funny. :).
Full gameplay + Ending
Will Tornuktu ever become a full game? It has plenty of potential to to tell a horrifying story and and give people plenty of good scares.
GOOD STORY!!!! I WANT MORE!!!!

Well, christ's mass will never be the same again, as the savior gets chopped up in bits and pieces...
What sick mind comes up with this kinda stuff?
But I loved it :o]
Well done and thanks for 9 minutes running from true horror!
Kudos to all involved.
Loved this game, great storyline. Here's my funny moments while playing
pretty good game, kinda spooky i'd play the full game
This game literally hit the chills in my body, the atmosphere was nailed with the graphics and the way it progressed, thank you for making this! Yours is 2nd.
J'adore vraiment ce que vous faites ! Encore BRAVO !!!
this game is like if Krampus was overweight highly recommend
dont miss the video .
watch till the end
that shit spooky holy damn
Between this and A Slide in the Woods I’m noticing a distinctive style in your work. You seem to have a knack for creating an effective atmosphere with relatively simple sound and visual cues, and your games are very tightly designed around creating a single core experience.
This Tornuktu of yours feels very realistically like something out of actual folklore, but its design and presentation has an otherworldly, almost dreamlike quality to it that makes it feel like something surreal and frightening. Add to that a sense of effective pacing and surprisingly immersive but minimalistic animations and you’ve got a real hum-dinger of an interactive story.
Despite simplicity being a very deliberate design choice in your games I find myself replaying them over and over again to drink in certain details of them. They grab me in ways that even very good games often don’t, and you manage to pull off that effect in about a five or ten minute experience, which I think shows that you’re capable of doing a lot with very little.
I genuinely believe you have a talent for what you do. Please keep doing it as much as you can.

I really REALLY enjoyed this one! The atmosphere was on point (I'm the kind of person who appreciates the fridge SFX lol), and the game was actually TERRYFYING!
Really good game!

I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts".
when i looked behind i got so scare
Vou deixar a gameplay aqui, aguardando o próximo game!
Loved the terrifying festive vibe it gave, and the slow realization that you are about to get fricked by an unwanted Santa. Monster design was not really much seen in the game but love what you did with the snowmen. I also love a good lore when it comes to the creatures of the night! Keep it up!
is there a way to beat it
No there is only one Ending
MUCH LOVE
PF
Scary game ever
