Freak
A downloadable freak
You'll be silent forever, and I'll be gone in the dark.
How To Play
When the freak starts approaching you he can move at random speeds. Sometimes he will sit back and watch and sometimes he will run at you. When you can hear him breathing, press space to turn back to look at him so that he won't grab you, he gets a little embarrassed.

Took me a while to figure out the mechanics but this has alot of potential for future games. I was playing this on stream with the sound lower and didn't realize it had sound cues. Once I turned the volume on my headphones up I realized you have to turn around when you hear the freak's movement and breathing. I love sound design and I feel like the way this mechanic is used has alot of potential. As someone who spent a month trying to learn Unity around a year ago, seeing a dev nail this game mechanic down in an aesthetically pleasing (to me) world in a month I think is pretty incredible. I'd like to see Ryder take this places. :) Also I got a good laugh out of the dialog and credits.

Best game ever created by humankind. I have remarried my wife and quit drugs because of how impactful this game was in my life
