Very creative credit screen!

Beautiful Game i Really Liked It!

I wanted to share my experience playing Blackout, an amazing indie pixel horror game I found here!!!!!  FULL PLAYTHROGH !!!!!about:about:

so funnn

Hi there! I played this game on stream for my Halloween special and let me tell you, the art and animations are gorgeous! I got stuck but I'm sure it happened because I'm not that big brained. Anyhow, here's my playthrough!

It was so fun playing! loved the artstyle and the twist!<3

Interesting, nice twisted end! Would have a function to click for next text instead of text disappearing for clicking twice (missed reading some texts). I could hear chanting the louder it is near the room, and the quieter it is far from the room, very nice! Very well done! Would recommend this game to everyone who loves Halloween.

By the way, I got scared sometimes during gameplay, which is funny. The game design was excellent!

This was very fun I liked this

ahhh omg nice twists

These three pixelart screenshots of the game attracted me to download the game. I was right that it was a greatly quality game after playing for only first few seconds! :D I'm looking forward to play it fully. (By the way, not possible to save and load?)

such a great game. I figured that something is in the bag in the basement, but it gave me a message about golf clubs over and over. Even thought that a carpet looks like a clock. Gone mad a little. And cigarettes... Yeah.

Overall, a masterpiece. The thing with portraits and the double twist ending is awesome. Really one of a kind on itch!

took me a while to complete because I was looking in the comments over and over but it was a amazing game I love it so much I've played it over like 5 times already but its honestly the best game on itch

I loved it <3

So beautifully animated! I can't believe how lovely every animation is. She even does the actions for each item. I was very very impressed. I love the little moment of her in the mirror. So sweet.  What a pleasing little game with a sense of humour. I love the navigation of the house, very easy and that's something people make convoluted really easily. Excellent game!

Loved it! Loved the double plot-twist!

Such a cute game!! love the little twist. Perfect if you want a spooky vibe but aren't a fan of horror games <3

(+1)

Loved everything, but definitely obsessing over the animation of Marilyn stepping on and off the stool. It just- mmmmm🤌 Great job animator(s)!👏

So lovely!!! I got the vibes of the first two Monkey Island, especially the twist at the end of the second one!!!

incredibly cute, 10/10, i love the little twist, highly recommend for anyone wanting something a little spooky and a little cute 

5/5

I love it, especially art style!

Very fun, took me forever to find the cigarettes but it’s hard to avoid in point and click games. Very fun.

were are the sigerets

Seems nice. Can you indicate with the downloads that they are for 64-bit? At least for the Linux version it seems. If you ever have the chance to release a 32-bit executable that would be appreciated.

ohmygod u had me fooled twice lol! great game!!

this is amazing

Loved this game! The story unfolds at a comfortable pace and the puzzles were stimulating and engaging. Thank youuu <3

Hi FRESH! I was wondering if you could tell me how many definite endings there are? I want to make sure I'm playing your game to its fullest extent!!
