SUCH A WEIRD AND FUN HORROR EXPERIENCE

I have the sudden urge to check my microwaves manual...XD

Nice game!

I had too much fun with this game.  I love horror games that don't take themselves seriously.

This game is something else lol

Awesome game, too bad the crate barricade didn't help:D

I am now afraid to be in the same apartment with a microwave oven...

Loved the game buddy!

I'm a sucker for odd and unique concepts, and this is a new favorite. I never knew a microwave could be so scary! Keep it up! 👍👍

Super weird concept for a game but it's delivered very well. Great short, entertaining horror experience.

This was amazing!! So creepy and suspenseful, never asking to speak to the manager again...

(Second Game)

Overall a super fun concept! Even though the beginning was kind of goofy, the ending still managed to spook me. The only issues I experienced were figuring out where exactly to use the tapes (click directly on the tv :)) and some problems with the food/objects clipping through the countertop… Other than that, I definitely would recommend this for a short, spooky experience :) 

This was my first time playing a horror game involving a microwave lol. I thought this was purposely going to be a silly horror game but the overall tone was much more serious and the ending was terrifying! I would love to see a sequel at some point!

The Game Kept Crashing For me :( xx

This was a very interesting game, I was hoping for multiple endings like a certain alien themed game you made but this was neat.

I was expecting this to be short and not too terribly scary but I was very wrong lol. Even though it was short it still made for a really creepy game! Thumbs up from me! Got me good :D

I play your game at 50:44 in this video!


This game was not what I was expecting. However, the ending had me running and laughing!

Strange, but surprisingly creepy. 

i liked the concept. 

Hello there! 

I played your game and wasn't expecting that ending at all, however! there is a bug with the tape in the cupboard with the boxes that causes the game to crash, other than that, the game is very good, sussy microwave though 

GREAT JOB CREATOR,  KEEP CREATING GAMES. 

Wish the microwave itself turned into a monster but good game nonetheless.

Loved the Game, it was nice and short but also gave you a lot to work with. Atmosphere was alright, here's my playthrough on it!

(9:36) Hey thanks for the game really enjoyed it! :)

creepy game that got me with a few scares, used the feeling of home invasion really well, in an SCP fashion - the tapes were so fun!

hate to be cheeky but here's my video on the game! any support would be madly appreciated so thank you! ;))

The Microwave Paradox | อย่าเอาของที่ไม่ใช่อาหาร เข้าไปอบในไมโครเวฟ

I had a fun time playing this game! This was the second game I played and it was unnerving! I really like the concept of a microwave horror game! it's very goofy! Oh yeah I'm not sure if it's a glitch but as I played through it, items would fall through the floor if they were dropped! Keep up the good work! If you're curious about my experience, then you can check out the video on my channel or watch the video I posted here! Enjoy my agony!

Instructions unclear, I think I broke the microwave!

Neat little game, would play a longer version that built the tension more.

Surreal experience. Makes me wonder what was going through your head when you decided to make this. 

Thanks for making games!

I dont trust my microwave now.

Very fun short game, the ending had me spiraling in confusion but I loved it

The ending got me pretty good! I really enjoyed this one, it was a blast to play! Keep up the good work!
