VACUULUS [DEMO]

I can tell you put a lot of time and effort in this game. I think its a great demo. Minor tweaks here and there nothing too major that I can think of at the moment. Well done mate!

I love the art style. And this game is fire. I will never beat it though lol. Its impossible

This was a fantastic demo cant wait to see the full game

WOW this is actually really good!

A really unique and interesting game that takes the horror genre and shows that fear does not have to involve blood and gore, you can really sense the tension and panic in the air as you do not want to be taken away by the "Vacuum Man" 

 The game is very graphically pleasing, the ambient lighting in the home is spot on and there are great shadow details too. The controls are fluid and intuitive ( although there does not seem to be control listed for sprint in the menu) 

 There was a minor problem and that was the way the character faces when leaving the hiding place inside the garage, the character seems to face the wall which could be a potential problem if the "Vacuum Man" is in the same area.

 The soundtrack is also very good and is similar another game on itch.io called "Nemeses" as it has a very dark and sinister tone and makes you very wary of your surroundings and makes you very uneasy.

This is a fun and challenging game that is a wonderful experience to playthrough, you can tell a great deal of thought and effort is put into the game and it really shows, the game has a great deal of potential and it will be interesting to see what the final game turns out like.

Thanks for the game! 

Holy cow that's hard! Beautiful graphics and cutscenes! Great job!

This game truly shows - never underestimate your mom's wrath for being a slob! ^_^

I really enjoyed the game I couldn't complete it because my brother use the computer for studying I can only play game on Friday for 1 hour I have a phone I also have a question plz answer this question will this game be available for Android and iOS thank you

I really liked the anime part and all but the game was friking difficult hahaha.  It would be cool if we could use the nerf gun to stun him or something. I hope you like my gameplay and If you do you could subscribe to my channel SilverChiara. Hope to see more from you!

What a great game, those jump scares are the real deal, got me a number of times.

When is the full game coming out?

Thanx for making this game I really enjoyed it.

very beautiful very wonderful the gameplay was good, controls excellent,visuals perfect anime style can not wait for the full release 

Hello, dev!
I had so much fun with this game!
And you made Japanese version too, so I played both! (Yes, I'm Japanese)

To beat this game, it took much time so I don't think I can beat hardmode XD

As a video creator, I thought editing these videos is a little bit hard.
Coz of so much darkness, Vacuum man's big move, and long death scenes.
Yeah, but it doesn't matter. If not video creator, everybody can enjoy this.

This is a great game coz players can learn how to beat eventually.
First I thought "oh no, I can't. Too hard", but I can beat it (yes normalmode tho).

Boy's 3d model good, atmosphere good, you can beat it good!
I really appreciate that you made this!

I wanna start off by saying don't let my rage dissuade you from trying out this game. It's one of the most polished and frightening indie horror games I've played. My lack of patience really shows in this video, but overall I very much enjoyed my time playing this. My only small complaint is that sometimes I felt the antagonist was able to see me too easily when I felt he shouldn't have been able to, and I found it difficult to hide properly in a few cases. Otherwise, this is a masterfully crafted game that I kept wanting to try to beat even after rage quitting multiple times. (Spoiler alert: I couldn't beat the game) 

Hello, author, can I download your game?

Can you please add a Linux release, and while you're at it add a Mac OS release too. Windows is not the only platform for gaming. I do love the art style and game's graphics.

hi, big thx for the cool game. wow, i love it. greetings from rosti 😁

A truly wonderful demo that had my heart in my mouth pretty much the entire time. I'll certainly be taking a look at the full game later on. Well done

This game is really good! haven't played a horror game like this since the joy of creation reborn. I like the atmosphere the most, feels really unsettling and  also the art style. The only problem so far is that there should be some kind of tutorial first before jumping into the game. its nice that the game tells you what your supposed to do in hints, until you run into the monster while you trying to figure out the mechanics. Other than that, it plays pretty good. can't wait for the full game to come out. 

The game is very well made and I liked the animations of the game. I just wish there was more audio cues to keep track of the vacuum man. Besides that, it's a nice game.

awwww a kid so cutee

This game is actually amazing my guy I hope you're proud of yourself!  I definitely plan on making a part 2, keep up the great work!

nice bro

Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (I managed to beat the game on normal and I'm proud)) Though, after finishing my recording session, I cried in the corner for like 20 minutes (jk)

Advantages:

1. That was so scary I literally panicked for 40 minutes straight. The music and the monster create such a terrifying and powerful ambiance! The way the player can hear the monster stomping behind doors is so cool! The game scared me so much! But I managed to finish it (normal difficulty) and I'm proud!

2. I love the concept! It's very cool that the player has only 1 life - that makes the game challenging. Don't frick up or you're dead. I love that! Also, the way the electronic stuff can go cray cray any time is also cool and the story of having to clean the house is original, new and surprisingly terrifying!

3. I LOVE that when I got used to mechanics and monster's behaviour, the game completely changed the rules! I have a feeling that the monster could see the light of the flashlight, is that true? If it is, it would be extremely useful to be able to turn it off!

Disadvantages:

1. There were some bugs which is OK for demo. Once I had an animation of peeping behind the door but the door stayed closed.

2. Please, can you add a tutorial before the game starts with screenshots. Like if the car starts yelling come closer to it and do this, for a short amount of time you are safe. Don't get me wrong: in-game hints were also useful. But at first after seeing the monster, my panic mode activated and I was too afraid to waste my time on reading so i had to die several times before actually getting to read the tutorial hints.

3. It's so confusing going in and out of the closet and through doors. It feels like you get turned around which is a bit funky and disorianting.

4. The arrow up top at first is confusing. It's hard to see whether it's pointing forwards or backwards.

Overall:

The game is AWESOME! SO scary. 100/5! It still needs some polish and a tutorial with screenshots before the game starts, though. Also, I completely didn't get the point of interacting or investigating objects. Which objects and why? It feels like I never did that cuz wuz panicking too much - maybe it would be cool to make these interactions more important for winning or getting good end or some stuff like that. Oh, also, will the upstairs be available in the full version? I'm curious!

Hope my feedback was useful!

This is one of the games I enjoy playing and scared at the same time. The vacuum robot is hard and very sensitive even in normal mode. Thankfully if you remember the safe position you can usually out run it to hide! I did however encountered a glitch? My screen is all dark at the end and I couldn't do anything. I'll play again tonight and try to figure it out! 

If I were to describe this game, I would say its a cross between Alien Isolation and a house cleaning sim. Unlike your average cleaning sims though, this game is pretty intense, and that's mostly due to the well-crafted atmosphere combined with the killer soundtrack. The horror aspect of the gameplay is solid as well, where you are tasked to sneak around the enemy while cleaning the house, leading to some very close for comfort encounters with the Vacuum Man. For challenge,  I rarely felt like my deaths were unfair, and, after a couple of tries (around 2 hours of dying haha) I was able to come up with a strategy to beat it on both normal and hard difficulties. I'm really hyped for this game, and I cannot wait for the final release. 

👀

To those who love horror games, then this game is really for you. The atmosphere suits the intro cutscene story, and immerses you almost immediately with it being first-person, and it puts you in so many tense situations with its sneaking mechanics as you achieve your goal—

...Long story short—let’s just say you need a lot of courage to get through it in a single go...Or even to leave the starting room. Oh, and you will be afraid of the Vacuum Man—Ik for a fact I am—

One game session later and I'm afraid of the Vacuum Man!

Tense and stressful atmosphere, and challenging gameplay!

Amazing game dev and extremely hard , i hope you enjoy my gameplay :)  

This game is challenging but I did it on one go. :)) 

Terrifying, nice intro and graphics etc! Not for the squemish, like me!
