This was a great game lost the first time but managed to win the second~ x3 Thanks for a fantastic game will definitely be giving it a second playthrough!~
Fun, interesting game. I fairly enjoyed it!
Thank you!
Thanks for playing!
HOW DOES IT KNOW WHERE I LIVE???
fun, but not really horror
I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS GAME WORKS IN THIS WAY BUT I THINK THAT I'M WINNING IN SOME WAY OR FORM, I THINK?! Youtube Link -
Thanks for playing!
THIS WAS A W GAME!! Good job!
Thanks for playing it!
I enjoyed this game. So far in my gameplay I got 2 of the 4 endings and I had fun getting both. I think a multiplayer version would be a fun idea :)
Thanks a lot!
I had a lot of fun playing this very odd gameshow. I really liked the theme music and the design of the game - it makes it feel like an actual gameshow. I would love it if you added more levels and mini-games. Great job
Here's my gameplay of it:
Thank you so much!
This game was fun! I somehow skipped the first minigame without realizing it was an option.. I guess you could say I got lucky with that one!
Finally, someone showed my score! Excellent video and I love your reaction to my contribution of silliness!
I really enjoyed this. I hope you develop this game even further with more levels, more fun! Congrats on making such an awesome game :)
Thanks a lot!
a really unique concept for a game! the questions were fun and so was the chatter between characters.. great game!
Gostei muito do jogo. É bem diferente e causa muita pressão! Os textos correm um pouco rápido demais e fica difícil de ler às vezes.
Amazing Game!
Things That Are AMAZING!!! About This Game

This Is The EVIL Version Of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire | Who Wants To Be A Murderer
Thank you for playing it!
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you for playing it! I'm glad you like it!
Very unsettling indeed especially the Knife one, Hoping its ok for YT
Also I think I broke it, the text button appeared after restarting it
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
You played the old version of the game. In the latest version, that bug and others have been fixed. Also, there's a bit more blood particles, and the Knife game is even scarier now!
Thank you! Yes, I'm continuing to work on it!
P.s. non chiedete l'aiuto da casa
Haha grazie! Sono contento ti sia piaciuto!
Wow! Non mi ero accorto che tu fossi italiano! Complimenti per il gioco...
There are far too few "twisted game show" type games and this was definitely a good one. Really enjoyed this, well done! 10/10
This was a fun little horror game and I loved the whole Game Show concept of it. Would love to see it built upon more and made into a longer game! Lotsa fun, great job! 🖤
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
Thanks a lot!
I loved the whole game show aspect of this game it felt very refreshing! Some of the questions were so random though lmao and hunting for all 4 endings was fun! (3rd game in my 3-part video)
Thank you for playing it! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Okay, I have something real this time! I got an answer correct, but then the host told me it was wrong. The answer was "Ed Gein," and he even says that in his explaination.
Yes, it's a bug. I've already fixed that issue and a few others, but unfortunately, I can't release an update until the voting phase of the jam ends. Thanks anyway for the feedback!
The first playthrough worked fine. I lost the knife game and died. When I restarted, it froze up just after the introductions. =( I tried quitting and starting again, but that just made it freeze even earlier, before anything was said at all.
I downloaded the windows version, if that helps.
Love the concept, though!
Edit: I just noticed that you already addressed this so never mind lol
Thanks for the feedback! I've already fixed that issue and a few others, but unfortunately, I can't release an update until the voting phase of the jam ends. Appreciate you letting me know, though!
If you are considering making this into a full game, I think it would do very well, this is a very good demo, hope to see more!
Full Play 3 Endings (NO COmmentary)
Thank you! I'm currently working on it, so hopefully, there's plenty more fun stuff on the horizon!
LOVED THE GAME KEEP IT UP
Thanks!
good game!
Thank you!
Thanks! I'm currently working on it, so hopefully, there will be more to enjoy!
Really good game, just let me know when you fix the bug so i can play it more time ^^
Thank you! Actually, I've already fixed it, but I can't update the game until the end of the jam voting phase. Make sure to follow me here on itch or join the discord to stay updated! :)
Thanks!
