A downloadable The Father for Windows and Linux

'The Father' is a very short horror adaptation of Jadusable's popular creepypasta:
Ben Drowned.

It takes the already existing story of the Haunted Cartridge and the Awakening Arc and gives it it's own twist. There are two endings achievable.

This game was made by me in 3 days as a learning curve to better understand the engine my team and I use for my other projects!
So please bear with me on any bugs, mistakes or sloppy programming.

A fun game based on the Ben Drowned Creepypasta. Short and sweet, some good scares too, pretty well made in only 3 days. Keep up the good work.

This was awesome! Pretty short but sweet. I loved the Ben Drowned ARG so I probably enjoyed it more due to that. Incredible work for only being made in 3 days. Keep up the good work!

I enjoyed it! No cheap over-the-top jumpscares while maintaining a creepy atmosphere. Loved it!

Hey there, thanks for being honest! This game was made in 3 days as practice to better understand the Godot Game Engine. 

I know it's super bad lol, however, I'm currently working on a remake of this game that will expand upon this base idea!

I see. Take your time with the next game!

i play linux version and it work very good

The atmosphere is very unnerving, but it hooked me pretty well! I beat it once and thought "Wow, something was off about those images. I don't know how I feel about this... time to get the alternate ending," just to see things that were even more unsettling. Beat the game with a sense of dread. Very good for what it is! 

Thank you!!! It means a lot.

I've got a much better surprise in store that I'll reveal more about soon!

EVERY SINGLE GAME SHOULD BE LIKE THIS. I LOVED IT. LIKE SERIOUSLY. MAKE A SEQUEL ILL PAY TO PLAY IT.

I have to say, it's kinda nonsense, but very fun to play! The jumpscares were very sudden, i like it. My gameplay is in portuguese, but feel yourself praised for the good job =)

Hey there!

Yeah, I get your point of it being nonsense, it was more or less practice for game development but I'm glad you liked it nonetheless!

I played this game and here's what I will say, this game here was scarier than most of the horror games I usually play. The Jumpscares did get to me badly which I got scared so much, I wish there was more to this game because I really enjoyed it. The only downside I would say is that facecam for this game did not work, as many times I tried closing the game and restarting it the camera would shut off which which a bummer, but I really enjoyed and would like to see more or games similar to the Father. Great job on this game! The intro for this Starts at 23:03 and game starts at 23:30. Happy Halloween! ๐ŸŽƒ

And hey, maybe there will be more to it, who knows! ;)

Thanks, I can't wait for it!

Will there be a Mac OS version?

Nothing to report on that for now, sorry!

not so goodfjk but the atmosphere is so beautiful...

No no, it's fine!
Honest criticism is crucial to improving later projects, so thanks for the feedback!

Cool little game, some cheap jump scares here and there, but fun none the less. Good job!
