i like how this game goes like not throw in stuff at start like it doesnt start with a jump scare thats nice, tho the female she kinda.... short. ok ok uhm, so really well made game not random Bleakshore is like beachshore idk how but yeah nice one!
I just wanna talk, but you keep turning into a tree! My only question is, who does the black figure represent before you reach the end of the game? Even tho this was probably made in a short amount of time, I love how it's story driven and the players not thrown into the mix of randomness. Interesting soundscape as well!
Hey I really loved this. I really liked how the noise in the soundtrack was actually an indicator of where to go. I love these games where you can keep walking around and wander and yet somehow you get where you're supposed to.
Loved the ending as well, got heavy The Lighthouse vibes. Was that intentional?
I really enjoyed this game, The ending subverted my expectation by every measure. The whole way through, I was on edge but the ending was a pleasant surprise.
By the way, I tweeted the video out, and attributed the wrong dev. I apologize sincerely and have made a follow up edit accordingly, unfortunately I couldn't edit the tweet.
This was fantastic. I loved the huge open map. The story is driven by the desire to explore. "Bleak" is a good word to describe the atmosphere, you captured it very nicely.
Absolutely loved this. The music and atmosphere was incredibly well made and the story had me guessing the whole way through. I agree with those who found the walk a bit too slow but overcame it by walking diagonally which is a bit faster :D Otherwise, great game. Well done all those who worked on it!
Pros and cons are down below) Check out the game here:
Advantages:
1. The figure in the forest is terrifying. I like that it is so subtle that it takes you time to notice. Very nice feature.
2. I like that you can wander around the island, so it's not simple linear experience but a bit more interesting concept.
3. The sounds were scary! A bit obnoxious at the lighthouse but at the start completely terrifying!
Disadvantages:
1. The main character is sooo slow. I wish the island would be smaller or Izzy faster. It would take less time to finish the game but would be way more enjoyable on the other hand.
2. The text is very slow. A bit faster maybe?
3. Found a bug when you get stuck at the lighthouse if you walk a bit further at the top (you can see that in the vid)
Overall:
the game is nice, it creates sense of dread and I like hoe the story turned out. But the game feels raw. Maybe a bit more polish and it would be a strong five star experience. But for now only 4 for me.
The beautiful landscape is a sight to behold; I never expected to feel so isolated in a place of such great beauty. Particularly effective is the presence, never intruding, but instead a reminder that you’re not really alone. Perhaps it’s this presence in such a place of stunning but peaceful scenery that makes the game work so well. I truly enjoyed this.
I loved the environments and soundscape (especially those absolutely gorgeous shores). The way you laid out the text boxes wasn't an approach I'd seen before, but I thought it worked exceptionally well here. I love to see games with LGBT content, especially when it ends in a similar way to the way this one did.
The ending to this game is a rarity in horror, which is a good thing. I had a blast playing through this, even though in the video I mention that it's my second time playing it, since I wandered up the beach for 10 minutes in my first go round and nothing happened.I'm very happy with this, the games I did today were all strong and this was a high note to end on.
The text speed is a bit too slow, but it's still a good game.
3 Scary Games? What in the world was I thinking? We take a look at Dia, Chōjirō and Bleakshore today. What could POSSIBLY go wrong? One game usually goes just FINE!
Absolutely loved this game! Even though it said "It's probably nothing" in the beginning, I still felt a lot of tension. Especially because of the sound design which was really well done! The game also had a very great look and overall matching vibe to it! I love games like these where there is a story (and in this case a very good one!) and you get some information about it immediately in the beginning of the game instead of completely not knowing what is going on. Very well done! Really loved it!
Thanks for making this game. The game had a good pace. I worried that I was going in the wrong direction a few times, but a piece of memorabilia always showed up right when I started to worry.

I wish I could sprint. Loved the open world feel. The ambience was spooky. I loved that I kept guessing til the end.
Hey this really well done love the art direction! Thanks for the experience.
The atmosphere and the sound/music are freakin' awesome! I was on my toes all the time! Here's my little playthrough (Polish language) Cheers!

Had to come and tell you great work on this. Very refreshing and I've never crossed anything like the ending in this!

Very interesting concept. Love the graphic style but the text speed is too slow for me. Anyway great work!
hey i really ejoyed this. I did get a bit confused at the end.
Hey is there any way to change the mouse sensitivity? I'd love to play the game but it's a little too high for my motion sickness.

Great atmosphere, but I found the lack of bounds frustrating after ten minutes. Well done, regardless

Really really good! I loved it!!
I made a tierlist for a lot of the haunted ps1 games and this game was in it! Please check out my video!
hi, nice game
Very nice job on the atmosphere. I had a feeling you had made perennial, thats a cheeky move adding a feature from that.
Thanks for making this game. The game had a good pace. I worried that I was going in the wrong direction a few times, but a piece of memorabilia always showed up right when I started to worry.
Also, that mysterious figure was creepy!
Game looks promising but whats with that text speed? It is really slow and makes hard to dive into text content due iritating speed.
Absolutely loved the direction that this game took. Incredible atmosphere and the overall storyline was great. :)
It had a really great atmosphere! I was on the tip of my toes for the entire ride! One of my favorite entries for the HPS1Jam! ♥
