Testimonium nails the eerie VHS horror vibe with its crunchy visuals and unsettling atmosphere. The pixelated distortion and ambient sound design pull you right into the madness — though a few rough edges could use some polishing.
I played through the whole thing on my channel and had a lot of fun breaking down its creepy charm (and a few jump scares I didn’t sign up for 😅). You can check out my full playthrough on YouTube.
Definitely worth trying if you love experimental indie horror with that “lost tape” feel.
To start off with, I really enjoyed your game! From the aesthetic of the whole game to the voice acting, the skill and work that went into this was amazing. It was a lot of fun, and for being so short, it was really nice story-wise.
Hope you have a good day! Thank you for the experience!
Who knew that hell would be televised? I enjoyed the aesthetic of this and the voice acting was a bar above some of the indie games out there at the moment. This felt more like a prologue or first initial chapter for a longer game and hope you come back to extend upon this world.
Now where can I get myself some softly spoken angels to whisper sweet nothings in my ear and tell me that the kneeled men deserve the gun?
What a very refreshing game to play. So refreshing that I spent quite some time getting the right image for it, but it deserved one. I <3 games with puzzle elements in them, so this was all right up my wheelhouse :o]
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.
I enjoyed the look of this game, had the old PS horror game look, found it beautiful, dirty and enjoyable
Dismemberment (Difficulty):
Not that difficult, easy to play through, walking sim with some very minor puzzles and interactions needed.
Infestation (Bugs):
Seems pretty clean, did not encounter any bugs of concern
Corpse Integrity (Bones and Story):
Story was interesting, liked it, had an idea of what was happening.
Something Off About It? (Ambience):
Ambience I found great, did a great job with the sound design and use of whispers.
How Long To Dismember (Playtime):
Ran me about 20 minutes, but I tend to take moments and enjoy looking around
Value Of Meat (Price):
Free is always in the budget and this game is free
Post Mortem Thoughts:
Over all, enjoyable play, hit me with the chill and scares, enjoyed the look, easy to play (maybe more difficult if it really scares you to continue) easy puzzles, more of a walking sim type, interesting story and VHS/Foundfootage stuff always pulls my attention
Congratulations to all the creators of this short horror and suspense game. The sounds and graphics are very good, the story is very good. I want all the creators of this game to subscribe to my YouTube channel, please. Thank you. Greetings from Spain.
Great Game!!! the story,script and how you delivered each word in this game is absolutely creepy and horrifying. The concept of the game is unique and the ending is so good. Good Job and kudos to all people who helped build this game!
Fantastic take on the "loop" approach of horror games, combined with disturbing, gritty visuals, a great puzzle and an interesting underlying message. Keep up the good work! Cheers!
Things have to be said, what a GREAT experience. Honestly not scary or unsettling, but one keeps staring at everything because in concept and visuals, this is 100% art. Great work, honestly.
