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.
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.
I've played a ton of these type of games from here, but this is the first one in a while that has genuinely made me anxious the entire time. That's mostly due to some pretty great sound design, and then you give us a final kick in the teeth. Well done.
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!
This was surprisingly unsettling. I had a really good time playing. I decided to eat super hot ramen while playing so I am getting scared and burning at the same time. I really like how well you paced out the scares. Even though it is short, it is effective

Hey! I played your game on my stream! Watch it to see the live review! Here's the link for it: https://www.twitch.tv/spacematterplay 😄 Game Number: 1 Review ended at: 1:09:00
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".
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!
I no longer want to celebrate Christmas out of fear lol such an extremely well done game! The story/atmosphere was really top tier and creepy. Made for an enjoyable/fun video, another high quality game!
BRAVO TO THE DEV!!! Wishing this game was longer and was able to have more interactions with the meth reindeer lol but all things considered this game was awesome. Look forward to more from you guys

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!!!!
