I loved everything about this! The art style was cool, the storytelling was well done (and really detailed), the jumps were well paced, and it got real dark at times! A hell of an experience!
I enjoyed playing this game and liked the message it conveyed as I did get both endings. I got scared a lot more than expected and that's a good thing. I did like the eeriness that came with the silence but I thought there could have been at least subtle music during some parts. Also thought that some of the notes in the game could've been summarized a bit more and still have the message received the same way. All in all, it was a solid game, and can't wait to see what else you come up with :)
What a solid experience this was! Suggested by hazzaween and I got to say this was definitely worth the time. Only got one of the endings but the game throughout until that point was amazing, story, gameplay, graphics, etc. Made a video on it.
cara em termos de programação senti que tava meio fraco, parecia tipo a filosofia do roberto carlos, meu bem não me quer, sabe, o jogo parecia não me querer, na segunda metade do jogo minha mãe me chamou pra almoçar, se puderem removam isso, atrapalhou bastante na experiência(e minha mãe me bateu por eu não ir almoçar) 2,8453/3,075954 se der adiciona essa linha de código
THE LITTLE SISTERS DRAWING SAYS "DIDDY" INSTEAD OF "DADDY" 🗣️🗣️🗣️...Anyways great game first play through i sat in the closet and cried 9/10 would recommend
Interesting game. it's like poppy and bendy had a baby lol good creepiness to it. i feel like i was freaking myself out more than the game was meaning to.. but i tend to do that ahaha good job!
love the artstyle, the multiple endings and the storyline was so good. i was expecting a typical indie horror game but what i got was much different shoutout to yall. i highly recommend anyone play this if u havent. heres my gameplay of it.
Love the Style, Colorpalette, minimalistic ui elements and even the dimensions of objects and rooms, this game looks like a small diamond. I will give it a try later. :)
Interesting game. The style of Smiley Dusty seems to be heavily influenced by Bendy and The Ink Machine, or it just reminds me of it. I went against the grain and took the bad ending. Not expecting that minigame, so congrats on the twist. I'd give it overall a 7/10.
An enjoyable expirience. It has some flaws (which I'll adress later), but that doesn't stop it from being good. The message of the game is also great. I also liked how "calling the cops and waiting in a hiding spot" is a valid ending.
Now, the flaws:
1) Showing the monster in full view on the game's page is a bold move, however it definitely didn't help the expirience. Dusty's design works well for seeing small bits of him peeking around something before retreating into the darkness, yet it's too toon-ey to be scary (also the generic "analogue horror eyes" look silly).
2) It's a tad bit too slow, with too much "maybe I should take a nap/wait), it does help set the atmosphere and the good scares are there. Not that I'm saying that walking sim horrors are bad, but doing the "go walk around to grab a key" with nigh nothing substantial happening multiple times in a row is rather boring.
3) The scares aren't scary (for the most part). This is partly due to Dusty being too toony and not posing an actual threat prior to the end part. Closets being hiding spots did put me a bit on edge, but it disapated after the aformentioned "walk around looking for a key at a slow pace" parts.
This game definitely shows potential, but the horror part is lacking and is pulling it down (which is a common flaw amongst indie-horror games). If you plan on making more horror games, try first thinking "why did these things work and scared people in other games?" rather than just mimicking horror elements (as Dusty peeking around obstacles was too common in the time-span of the game to the point it lost it's effect). It can even be as simple as "what things scared me?" and analysing the details.
I hope for even greater successes in your future endeavors, 4DpixelGames, and have a great day!
Muchísimas gracias por compartir el juego, me ha encantado de principio a fin, la trama es muy buena, hay partes donde la tensión se percibe de una forma brutal, sobre todo cuando se apaga la luz de la casa, además has puesto dos finales diferentes, lo único que he echado de menos son unos subtítulos en español, has hecho muy buen trabajo, por eso os doy 5 estrellas, saludos!!!
A good story, a very good game, congratulations to the creators of this game, I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my YouTube channel please, thank you, greetings from Spain!!
This game was truly amazing I have no words to describe how well done it was I had chills running up and down my back most of the time ive expected the unexpected playing this good job and I cant wait to see what else you create!
We are working on a game right now and we are in a look for a talented dev, if you are up to join any game right now id like to share some of our current concept art/models with you ! Cannot send much here though, what's your discord ?
Just another night of being stalked, a demon appearing in my living room, and being ignored by my family. What's new?
I really enjoyed the amount of story that was put into this game, I like the art style that reminds me a bit of Bendy & The Ink Machine, and I can appreciate the underlying message about family.
I can't wait to see what else you release in the future!

Glad you liked it !
A great game. The chase sequence is terrifying. He's so fast, and leaves barely enough space for errors.
Thanks!
This was really good ! Cant wait to see what you do in the future
Great game! It is amazing, *SPOILER* refusing dusty's offer is straight up bone-chilling, like the vent chase is crazy! What a great game!
Glad you liked it!
necesito español! ♥
This game looks incredible, but need spanish sub u.u
THANKS!
The was a very fun game to play it even caused me to jump. I like the message at the end. Great job!!

El juego me ha parecido maravilloso y más viendo que es tan solo tu primer juego. Excelente trabajo.
Well that's because you picked up the bad ending without the context found in the good ending :)
Ah that would make sense
