HE CAME ANYWAY

Lore:
You are Bur, an normal guy on a normal night... until you hear a knock at the door and everything you know changes.
A storm hits outside. You're all alone in the dark.
A pizza box sits at your kitchen. You didn't order it.
You tell yourself not to eat it. You're not even hungry. But the box feels like it's waiting.
Something's wrong.

Developer Notes;
I created this game in just 2 short days as a way to challenge myself and see what I could do when it came to making psychological horror games.
I know it's not exactly perfect. I know it has the potential to be more.
Every part of the scene, every noise, every little bit of light was put together with a lot of care, some tension, and maybe a little bit of craziness.
I hope you enjoy this little trip into anxiety, even if it's a bit rough around the edges. Thanks so much for playing!
Player discretion is advised.

Who doesn't love free pizza...?
I don't, but alas, I had to keep it...
I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.
Interesting game, enjoyed it!
Great scary game Zev Nomovik. Loved it! :D
How u not gonna have a bathroom. Where is Bur supposed to take shits? Massive disappointment homie.
fr tho, Bur’s bladder been fighting for its life the whole game. No bathroom was a design choice (aka I forgot), but hey—desperation builds character.
Worst case? He pees in the washing machine. Best case? He hits up the neighbor like “yo can I use ur toilet real quick, I swear it’s just number 1.”
Appreciate you for keeping it real and pointing out the REAL horror in this game: no toilet.
Massive respect, homie.
Great game and atmosphere, it left me wanting more! Thanks for taking the time to make it. Here is my playthrough and reaction
thanks a ton for the full play-through and reaction!
I loved hearing that the atmosphere kept you hooked and left you wanting more.
I’ll watch your video soon so I can see every jump-scare in real time, and your feedback will definitely help shape future updates. Really appreciate the support!
freaky na
Mmmmm... Glad the game hit that “freaky” note for you – that was exactly the vibe I was aiming for. Thanks for dropping by and checking it out!
thank you for the thoughtful breakdown (and the video!).
Hearing how the dim lighting, storm ambience and that uninvited pizza guy landed with you is amazing. I’m stoked your viewers recommended it and that you enjoyed the ride. I’ll be sure to watch the upload and keep pushing those eerie vibes in future projects.
This game was quite the trip and I really enjoyed it! The atmosphere and the uncertainty of what was real combined with the suspicious house kept me engaged the whole time:
huge thanks for the detailed thoughts and for putting together a video!
I’m thrilled that the blurred line between “real vs. suspicious” kept you engaged the whole time. I’ll give your play-through a watch and keep your notes in mind while polishing the next build.
WHO INVENTED THIS GUY?!
Bill Bill – your “WHO INVENTED THIS GUY?!” comment is hilarious 😂
Guilty as charged! Thanks for playing and for the laugh. Hope the twist delivered a good jolt.
No problem! Your games are always fun to play and I look forward to your next one!! Have a gnarly rest of your day man!!!
This wasnt bad, straight into it with pizza you had no knowledge of ordering. I liked the build up! I think there could've been multiple endings. Other than that, it wasn't bad! Here is my video
Thank you, Hazzaween, for the balanced feedback and the upload!
I’m glad the immediate pizza mystery worked, and I completely agree the game could use extra endings. appreciate the push.
Awesome game. A tad slow paced and I couldn't finished because it glitched out at the end, but I liked it overall. Your's is the last game of the 3.
cheers for including the game in your three-game line-up!
Sorry about the late-game glitch and pacing drag – those are on my fix list. Thanks for sticking with it and for the honest review.
Muchas gracias por compartir el juego. Me ha gustado mucho tanto la trama del juego como el final. Me gusta mucho que no sepas qué va a pasar y el final sea un buen susto. Has hecho un buen trabajo, por eso te he dado 5 estrellas. Saludos!!!
Muchas gracias, Belrion!
I’m delighted the story and final scare landed so well for you, and thank you for the 5-star rating. ¡Un gran abrazo!
Thank you so much for playing my game and making a video about it! I loved watching your reactions, and it means a lot to see you enjoyed the atmosphere.

Random Man walk in my home with a slice missing. Am going to start throwing hands
Thanks again, seriously. You guys are amazing 🙏
This game was nice. I liked the story but im sad we didnt get to eat the pizza. Gonna be honest I wish there was a way to turn off the grain effect maybe there was but i didnt see it. Fun game though and nice job 👍
I hear you on the grain effect too! Noted for the next one 👀
Short but not bad at all for what this was. Definitely an interesting premise for sure! Made a video on it.
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate you checking it out—and wow, I will watch it for sure!
I will be playing this live tomorrow 5/20 around 6 PM EST =D
i enjoyed the horror aspects of this game, and a sharp feeling of paranoia i experienced during it too.
Thank you! I'm really glad the horror and that creeping paranoia landed well—those were exactly the vibes I wanted to create Appreciate you taking the time to play!
Danke schön! I was aiming for “ganz gut”, but I’ll take “gutes Spiel” any day 😂
I really enjoyed this game and found it to be highly entertaining and even got me with a jump scare so I was very happy about that! Great work!
I really appreciate you playing the game—it means a lot! From jump scares to missing pizza slices to paranoid walks in the dark, I’m so glad you all had fun 😂
the game is very good bro, i feel sorry for the bur 😭
Thank you all so much for the love and hilarious reactions! 😭💀
