Hey! I just played the demo version and I gotta say it was pretty awesome. I see there is a full version out now so my opinions may not even be valid lol. I really enjoyed the game though! The atmosphere was awesome and it just felt good all around to play. It was a bit awkward how your character narrates everything they do but besides that I feel it's a great short horror experience. Thanks so much for making it!
Could you please include the payment method via a credit card, or make the game free for just a few hours/a day? I don't have the ability to create a paypal account...
Played this for a random horror games video and loved it! Very Intriguing story and some pretty tense moments. My only complaint is the game crashed while trying to get one of two endings. Other than that great job dev! I'll be following you for future projects
pretty good so far. maybe telling the player how to crouch would be a good idea. I restarted the game because i thought something broke but i just needed to crouch.
I really liked it! It was a little bit rough around the edges but the overall I was hooked! Would love to see the full version of the game :) Here's my little playthrough (Polish language) Cheers!
Not bad! I like what you're working with, and look forward to what you come up with in the final project! My final thoughts are at the end of the video
I loved how as soon as this game was going, I thought to my self "I'd hate to wake up randomly like this" Great little game, loved "Tender" and this is a great addition
I played this game on my channel and really loved the art style! unfortunetly the game kept crashing but I can't wait till the full one is released! I will play it again to my 2k subs!
Knew instantly from the page layout that it'd be from you, "Tender" guys :) and that I'd love this game. I loved everything about the demo, except for the bugs. My first playthrough went very smooth, and thank goodness for that, because I managed to see one ending (confront). All-round great experience, I really enjoyed doing the little humdrum tasks while waiting for the storm to subside. On my second and third playthrough (trying to see the sleep ending), I got stuck first, when placing the mug in the sink. Couldn't back out anymore. Then, when cleaning the carpet. Got stuck before being able to scrub for the last time. I enjoyed being able to see the difference between opening / leaving the office door closed. I can't wait to play the final, stable build!
THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE HAS MADE INTO THE 8TH EDITION OF GAMES OF TERROR!
I NEVER REALLY FINISHED THIS... AS IT FROZE ON ME WHILE PUTTING AWAY THE CLEANING STUFF SO NEVER SAW THE OUTCOME... I DID ENJOY MAKING SOME NICE TEA THOU
I had some problems with it freezing the first couple of times I tried to play it but I eventually was able to get all of the way through it and I enjoyed it. I liked how it gradually moved up into bigger and better scares as time went on and you did a good job of making clear what to do and where do go which is where a lot of other games fall short. Good job :).
Had a great time playing The House By The Lake SGG! The little things, like having the coffee pot slowly filling up instead of just going from empty to full. Great work SGG! The only issue that I have with the game is having an indicator for having the killer running outside. It took a bit of wondering around the house for me to get the cue for him to run by the window. Really enjoyed this as well as Tender! I can't wait for the release of the full game and to see what you make next!
Really enjoyed playing this game! Love the style and the concept! I checked out both endings, but I still couldn't figure out what had really happened. Really looking forward to how deep this storyline goes in the full version!
Veja a gameplay do jogo de terror indie de 2021 THE HOUSE BY THE LAKE onde voce deve tentar dormir me meio a uma tempestade forte e trovóes e realizar tarefas como fazer um café, misturar leite e se preparar para os sustos.
I REALLY enjoyed this game! The jump scares got me good! Somehow, I managed to break the game during my first play through and had to start over, but even then I enjoyed myself. Looking forward to the full version and thanks for making an awesome game!
I just released a new version of the demo tackles a game breaking bug for a small minority of players. I also include one of the new spooks that was intended for the full release. You may catch it if you replay it again.
hey whats up familia my names isak i recently plagued your game. the story was interesting the game was really fun, but i ran into a issue that prevented me from finishing the game. nonetheless the game was really good keep up the good work! also the game start at 6:15
Great video and too bad it bugged out. I'm still working out some bugs. With that said, I released a new version that may fix that problem. If you want give it a try and let me know how it went.
this game is one of the best itchio horror games iv played so far it has great mechanics and scares and the animations are immersive the story is decent and the models are well done the atmosphere is creepy and there's no glitches (from what iv seen) and on top of all that it actually got me a couple times truly a great game if you want to see my full reaction to this game here it is
if you watched be sure to like and consider subscribing (it helps me grow as a channel) and even if you just watched i appreciate the support 9/10 game
cool little game, played it Live on my Stream. the scares are okay, i liked it that there werew Animations fpr the Tasks. but the Only thing i would appreciate, is not to Immobilize the player while the Character is Talking.
i want to play the Full game ! please keep working on it!
Cool little game. Of course, given my favorite styles are games with multiple endings, I’d ask for more endings, if anything. The atmosphere is creepy; the silence works well here. I enjoy the story elements to set it up. I’m also a big fan of adding little things — even those animations for your tasks — that keep the player engaged. I look forward to the full release. Great work 👍🏼

Loved this one! Excellent game! A+
I was genuinely so surprised by the direction of the story. Another great game from you, and I can't wait to see more.
The House by the Lake was the second game I played in the video below. (I also played Tender and Red Hood.)
“Surprise” that’s exactly what I was going for. Glad you liked it :)
Amazing fresh def a new idea I have not seen on the sight.
thx for playing and glad you liked it
Can you add the Demo?! BTW If this Full Game was "FREE"?!
How i can play the demo version so i can decide?

Hehe, I'm glad you like it. The full version has some additional surprises on the portraits.

Awesome video. You just gained a new follower and thank you for playing :)
Also, thank you for bringing the ending 1 bug to my atention. I will attempt to duplicate it, and work on a fix asap.
---update---
I was able to duplicate the bug and patched it. The patch version of the game will be uploaded soon. Thx again for bringing this up to my attention.
Thanks! And no problem, can't wait to check out the ending I missed 😀
pretty good so far. maybe telling the player how to crouch would be a good idea. I restarted the game because i thought something broke but i just needed to crouch.
Lol I saw that! Also noticed the Main menu music didn't loop so I will be taking care of both issues. Thx for playing.

Glad you liked it. The full release is getting closed to be published. Just needs a few more additions before I can upload it.

Thx for playing. I will have this issue resolve by the full release. I was able to discover what's triggering this bug for a minority of users.
Forgot I downloaded this game a few days ago but it was really fun to play, loved it
Glad you liked it. The full release is coming soon so stay tuned.
The menu music had no right to slap that hard
Lol. Thx for playing

Thank you for trying the demo :)

greetings from Germany
Thank you for playing. I will take your suggestion into consideration. I may even add an option to turn that feature off in the final release.
