SUCH A WEIRD AND FUN HORROR EXPERIENCE
Nice game!
I had too much fun with this game. I love horror games that don't take themselves seriously.
I am now afraid to be in the same apartment with a microwave oven...
Loved the game buddy!
really love it
Super weird concept for a game but it's delivered very well. Great short, entertaining horror experience.

I willl never eat ramen again!
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!
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.
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
Wish the microwave itself turned into a monster but good game nonetheless.
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! ;))
Neat little game, would play a longer version that built the tension more.
