You hear them.

Through the doors.

Following you.

Watching you.

1985.

Do you remember?

----------------------------------------

As you wander the same hallway and go into

the same room repeatedly, you can see things

changing around you... and hear things moving around you.

They're Watching is a game that creates a lot of its horror 

through faint sounds, so definitely make sure you wear headphones while playing. 

----------------------------------------

For the best experience (recommended), play this game alone

in a dark and quiet room.

-------------------------------------------

UPDATE:

Yes, the game has received a small update. Based on player feedback, the "ending" has been improved. Hopefully this slightly improves your opinion of the game. It is still short, but I think people had more of a problem with how it ended than its length. Please download the updated version of the game below.

Thank you all for playing the game and giving feedback on it. It was very helpful.    :)

Great atmosphere with s creepy vibe. Thanks for making it

And thank you for playing it!  :)

Loved this game. Really gave me good Silent Hill: P.T vibes.

That was my main inspiration! Thanks for the kind words!   :)

This is a very good and scary work

Thank you!    :)

Very good graphics and atmosphere! :)

Thanks!!    :)

A great game,very scary. Really enjoyed.Congratulations for the work

Thank you!     :)

This was a fun little puzzle horror. Got my heart rate to speed up a few times.

Haha! Love horror games for that. Thank you!      :)

I really enjoyed playing this game. Thank you.

Glad you enjoyed it!   :)

this was very spooky. i loved it. 

Thanks!   :)

Atmosphere in this is spot on. Every turn is heart in mouth.

Thanks, glad to see it terrified you haha!

Wonderful game!  Loved the atmosphere - just wondering what is around that corner, awesome work.

Thank you so much!

This was super well done, probably some of the best executed scares i've seen in a while. Tension was amazing and the sounds were not overly excessive. Awesome stuff. 

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

Thanks for playing!  :)

Cool game even though some parts had me stuck as there are no ques to lead you to the objective... Other than that it scared the crap out of me and would love to see a fully fledged game!

Check out my playthrough + 2 other games!

Thanks so much for playing, and also thanks for the feedback!  :)

That's cool

Thanks.   :)

thank for this game

And thank you for playing!  :)

This was a Great Game! Although, I Think it would be great to add a Title Menu, instead of being Plopped right into the game, But Other Than That, The Game was Great!, Keep up The good work! I Did a Video of This Game!

Thanks so much! Nice video!    :)

Thanks! I Really Enjoyed it!

Hey there!

Finished your game. If you are interested in more detailed feedback, let me know :)

Thanks for playing! Feedback would be great, thank you.   :)

Alright. Here goes my personal opinion.

Pros:

  • All the visuals look really great.
  • Some of the jumpscares actually got me.
  • The audio ambience is kinda creepy.
  • The atmosphere is creepy too.
  • The blood splatter looks very cool.

Cons:

  • The game is missing a game menu. 
  • There’s no need for the drawers to be interactable, because there aren't any items in there. It just feels like it's a waste of time opening them.
  • It was confusing to figure out which types of objects were interactable. Like for example the radio or TV. The crosshair did change when looking at them, but nothing happened on click.
  • The player movement is very very slow. 
  • Missing footstep SFX.
  • The game is lacking backstory. The story is pretty thin IMO.  
  • The game felt too much like a trigger game for no reason. It was always something about walking from door 1 to door 2 waiting for new events to happen.  
  • The ending seems a little bit dull.

That’s all I can think of at the moment. I hope you can make use of some of it. Keep it up!

Alright, thanks!

Hi there! I have to say I REALLY enjoyed playing this! I think the concept was something fresh and the scares kept me on edge the entire time! Great job!

Wow, thanks! Happy that you enjoyed it.

Nice short indie horror man !!

Thank you!

You are welcome :)

love your game a lot :):):)

Thanks so much!

I love these kind of games with awesome graphics and creepy atmosphere! Does this game have multiple endings?

If you like video games, please subscribe and help my channel grow, thanx :)

Nope, just one ending. Thanks for the kind words!

Pretty freaky and fun! Reminded me of PT a little.

Thanks for playing! PT was my main inspiration for this.

Decided to revisit this game since I deleted the original video. Don't see what is different in the ending though but it was fun to play again.

Thanks, man! Really appreciate it. The ending isn't supposed to be different though, this is a completely linear experience and will be the same always.    :)

This game had me jumping left and right at one point. Also the realistic graphics love it. 😍 

Not having music and just sounds makes this game one of my favorite games so far this year. 👌

Here's my playthrough 👇

Wow, thank you so much!

No problem, my pleasure. 😊

Good game! Dark and creepy.

Thank you very much!

Really creepy game. I enjoyed it. Keep up the good work! 

Thank you!

This game was really well made!  Had fun trying out this horror game!  The atmosphere for the game was great! I also managed to get jump-scared a few times too!

Thank you very much!  :)

You're welcome! :D

Dude, great game you're amazing for this please gimme more

Thank you very much for playing my game! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am currently working on another horror game, so there will be more.    :)

Tried out They're Watching!

Thanks so much!   :)

This game is very good, I got nervous at each step because it was very dark and I couldn't see what was up ahead, the going back all the time to progress made me tired, so I was glad when I opened the door with the code. I love horror games with puzzles and scary atmospheres so this one is absolutely 5 stars from me. Great job.

Thanks so much! I'm really glad you liked it.  :)

No problem ;)

I love some good old fear and death.

Shava59! The atmosphere in this was amazing. The sound FX were so subtle that I ended up scaring myself a few times. The jump scares were definitely earned in this one. 

I look forward to your next one! 

Thanks so much!

Your game was great.. love it. could you try mine. https://taintedgames.itch.io/last-sto

Thank you, I will definitely try your game once I have time!  :)

What a surprise! I played it before the update and had to download it mid video recording, but damn! I'm glad I did! Amazing game, amazing set up. And the silence? Masterpiece. I wanted a longer and more elaborate game of this. 

(+1)

Thanks so much! I don't think I'll make a longer version, but I am currently working on another game that's a lot like it. The story does connect with this game's story, and I'm going to try and explain what some things in the game mean while still not revealing the full lore. Anyway, thanks a lot for playing!   :)

That sounds really cool! I'll follow you to keep myself updated on your projects! Excellent work =) 

Thank you!

This game scared tf outta me, it was good and the graphics were great, here is my vid on it

Thank you very much for playing!     :)
