Summer of '58

I sincerely hope that you can continue creating great games.

This is what I call real horror in a video game.

It took me 1 hour to play through this game and every single minute of it was terrifying, even during daylight.

You guys KNOW how to scare people the right way.

Thank you for your creation! looking forward to play the rest of your games.

Here is my gameplay, Part 1 I truly hope you enjoy.

I have loved all of your work, and this one really shows you are just getting better. I really hope you will make projects at some point again, thank you for your work :)

 Full Playthrough No Commentary 

loved this! Please check out my play through below x 

By far, I think this is one of Emika's best games yet. It always hits my phobias and makes it unsettling while playing. I only played the first night but I'm too terrified to move around, even in daylight. Now I have to go through a whole week of scares. Thanks Emika XD. I still have to fully beat it. Had to take a breather.

I think this may be the scariest game I've ever played. Loved every minute of it. Can't wait until the next one. https://youtu.be/V5YgITqF6wM

this game far exceeded my expectations ^_^

Great graphics and story..the atmosphere is very creepy and eerie, loved it!

honestly one of the scariest games I’ve ever played I loved it! Please check out my play through below x

This was so well done! Atmosphere, the story, the sounds, the scares, all of it was amazing! It got me so many times! 

I played this game to completion and i genuinely enjoyed it. You have great execution of using lighting correctly, with a good mix of ambient sounds that give it such a shock when i get jumpscared.. alot. Great job looking out for your other work!

those jumpscares got us bad lmao, very creative can only recommend <3

This was a great game, was expecting a ton of scares and that was exactly what I got. The developers wanted the players to be on edge from the start with the constant noises around you, now that was genius, really really love it

Okay this game was FANTASTIC all the way through and is full of scares! Heres the Part 2 in the video series I made for it! Part 1 is also in these comments <3 

Emika games is way too lit. Locked Up is just as scary, if not scarier.

either you hate them or you love them ... I, for one, love the EMIKA games, they are worth every minute! if you don't know it yet, you should definitely have a look at "find yourself" !!!

Tried out the game, keep up the work!

this game was one of the best indie games I've played in a long time, if you haven't played this yet- its a must. 

Quite simply. This game SLAPS!

Literally one of the scariest games I've played in a long time! It has almost everything you could ask for in the horror game. Played "Locked Up" and "Find Yourself" before but this one is my favorite. One of the best indie game developer right here people!! Keep up the great work! 

AMAZING GAME very well done loved literally every minute of it. One of my favorite horror games ever now

I loved the premise, gameplay and the looks and the first half was definitely amazing in establishing atmosphere and building a story. Personally, the second half felt muddled, a bit rushed and the scares got a bit repetitive which is a shame because there are plenty of neat spooky ideas in this game. I still can’t wait for the sequel because the ending hinted at a pretty cool idea but I hope that the story will be more cohesive. Sometimes, a simple story is better for a shorter game since you can spend more time on fleshing out details and characters instead of piling on new twists and turns. But that’s my subjective point of view, I really get that a lot of other players truly enjoyed the game as it is :) 

Everything about this game is just incredible! The atmosphere is just phenomenal and the graphics are hands mown superb! So much so that my laptop can’t handle them at ultra :( 

Keep up the fantastic work!  

Here is part 2 of my game play 

Amazing game! Great atmosphere, graphics, story! Big thumbs up 👍🏾 

This game was absolultey terrifying. Love everything about it. Awesome theme, atmosphere and such things. Very good and well done game!

Part 2 of my Let's Play — I was blown away by the atmosphere, amazing job creating suspense! I think there's a lot you can do to expand on the gameplay and really give it life or death stakes, but overall, I loved the game and cannot wait for the sequel!

[Warning: Some spoilers]

Just finished playing the game, and I was very satisfied. I only have three complaints: 1) For some reason, every time I'd pass from one level to the other, the game would reset my graphic and visual settings, and I had to go to the menu and change it back every time I changed levels. 2) Some jumpscares had characters running but there was no motion (they were T-posing) and that was a little weird for me. 3) The camera zoom was really confunsing. I'd personally had prefered if "E" was zoom in and "Q" zoom out instead of "E" for both.

But let's talk about the very good ideas you guys had.

I loved both the story and the ambience. There was some lack of logic here and there (like how did he first get to the camp with all doors and windows locke when he was inside, or how despite having experience as a Russian translator he still needed a dictionary to read and write Russian), but it doesn't really affect much the experience.

And the idea to play as the Ivan's mother? Really good! I felt like I could absorve and understand more the story thanks to that.

At first I thought the ending was a little underwhelming, but after the credits and seeing there will be a sequel it felt satisfying, so good ending overall.

Also, some of the scariest parts were related to sounds (wich you guys nailed it!) more than to jumpscares, so maybe explore more of that!

Love,
