really fun game ! i genuinely can't believe that it's free. good luck with your future projects !!!
First game I donated to on itch.io, absolutely wonderful stuff and I was surprised this isn't being sold on steam. Mad props!
Playing Golf At Night Is More Terrifying Than You Imagined!
Can't believe this game is free, absolutely bewildering game. well done bro your going places in life!
yep, jerking it to this photo!
I loved that game, but i can't play game anyone because of too high fps :(
Really great, surprising little game.
Is there no save function in this game? I imagine the game is long enough that it would definitely benefit from having a save function in it. At least it means we can keep our scores from previous holes
There's a chapter save system- it should save every time you move a map. It might be some sort of system permissions thing on your computer if it's not working? What system are you on?
I did find the chapter system, which works fine. But it does mean that we don't keep our scores, which as bad as my score would have been, it would've still been good to keep.
This one thing aside, the game has been great and mega stressful, like what Golf typically is
Don't listen to the comments below!! This game is great! Great concept! This is why i love indie games there just out there!!!!!
I encountered a bug at the end of the game where one of the monsters killed me during a cutscene and gave me a black screen :(
The same just happened to me in the middle of a stream
like do you just copy other shitty horror games like FUCK come on be interesting PLEASE NOW PLEASE
Can you explain which game this is stolen from?
Have you ever seen a golf themed horror game before lol
yeah the ROBLOX golf Halloween map is PRETTY SCARY!!!!!!!!! But not I'd expect a baby like you to understand it............ don't come crying to me when you brown all over your undies
bro don't try to argue with a retard who's js tryna ragebait bc he has nothing better to do
you mean disabled person
hey so. i regularly went like 18 over. for every hole. so thats like, not enjoyable. 30 minutes and i was at hole 7. you can say i suck. i say you think people like playing golf in a horror game a lot more than they actually do. i liked the music! i hated the golf i hated the golf i hated the golf i hated the golf i didt finish
being good at the golf isn't really important to the game unless you're achievement hunting
never golfing again.
im scared
too fucking long
Great game! I really enjoyed it! Definitely spooky and kept me on the edge of my seat!
what exactly does all balls kill do?
a normal golf ball can kill an enemy!
see I thought that too, but I tried it and it didn't work
i just tested this- it worked on my end. are the other cheats working?
golden clubs and balls, sprint, and jump, those were working, I'm gonna see if restarting the game makes it work when I play next, which is hopefully to be soon, cause this shit is actually really fun to achievement hunt
I am sorry to pester but do you think I could get an answer to my comment about clarification on some achievements, I'm not asking for like a walkthrough or even tips on how to do them, just what their parameters are, because I did holes 2, 5, and 7 before the music that comes with them ends, and I did not get it
sorry i missed this! you have to get the balls into the hole and pick it out before the music ends. i'm pretty sure that it shouldn't be a bugged achievement since i remember hearing other people get it. what platform are you on?
edit: i just tested this achivement- it works on my end
I'm on Windows, also damn alr I guess I'll just give it another swing (heh) I would like to know what a "run" is defined as for the purpose of multiple achievements if it's not too much to ask
a run is from clicking begin to the end of the game where you see your scores.
oh also if you still check these comments could you give some parameters for the more vaguely worded achievements, the 2.5,7 hole one, or what exactly qualifies as a run for the purpose of multiple achievements, what confusing putters means, etc.
oh also what holes is it even possible to get a hole in 1 on?
okay so totally fucking awesome game, very frustrating at times, but that's just the nature of golf, eh? ohh yeah and the being chased while doing it thing, ngl getting par on all holes without turning enemies to off or slow, which I was tempted to do many times, was hard as hell, but very rewarding, this is a novel concept and I think you executed it almost perfectly, and as a guy who is big on audio design, A motherfucking plus, good concept, great execution, great sound design, great ambiance, kinda capitalizing on the lower graphics, and it's just fantastic
oh also think it's weird you can trigger hole 13 without finishing hole 12
ngl the "the ball cannot go into the water" should be fading text that shows up as the game restarts, rather than a black screen that needs to go out, it's only a few seconds, but it ends up getting kind annoying on the island hole
edit: which I did par on right after writing this, but still that would be my input
Very interesting concept! This definitely takes what seems like a simple game of golf and really ups the intensity. Love it!
Whenever I try downloading and playing this game, when I hop the fence, the entire screen turns into a sunset and I can look around, but nothing loads. Any fixes for this?
if that is yatoimtop singing the final song then keep it up because that final ad was a banger
What a great game! I love playing golf games but I am not that good at them. Well, Hole 8 made me realize how much more TENSE this can be! Can't wait to check out the next 9 holes!
Such a cool concept for a game!
OMG LOVED this game and this first time i was actually scared or stressed from a game
Brilliant idea for a game, satisfying gameplay, genuenely scary.
I'm genuinely not sure what to say about this game, but I will say it's one of the most effective horror experiences I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
The first encounter genuinely almost gave me a heart attack, the sound design and buildup is so perfect, and it was so unexpected.
You've created an utter masterpiece!
I'll say it for you. SHIT
A perfect example of scary and stressful gaming! Incredible game
There is a bug where if you die to a stalker during the transition from Forest 2 to the final boss then you get teleported back to Forest 2 blister and then into the boss fight (I thought this was a secret until I died after popping the blister and then realizing it's a save state).
Also secondly, does anyone know how to get the "grab a pearl" achievement? The van song mentions destroying a pearl and walking on the ocean but I don't know if that's connected
Its on hole 4. Follow the course until you see a bunch of large rocks by the shore. You have to jump on the smaller rocks until you reach the furthest rock. The pearl is on the other end of the last rock.
Of course you need to unlock jumping by getting the hole in one achievement
Played this with my friends today after I saw it in the Jacob Geller video recently, and even though I already knew the premise, this game was so so so so horrifying. We play horror games on occasion and I don't remember a game ever getting a reaction out of us like that. I honestly found the end a bit too stressful, because there was so much stuff to manage that it became kind of paralyzing and felt quite punishing to try at that point, but still the main mechanic and everything about the idea of this game is so absolutely amazing, this immediately became one of my favourite horror games! I am so genuinely in awe of this game, I love it so much.
Downloaded the game and played it on stream, I'm getting so used to horror games and I thought this game had a cool concept and it should not scare me. I was wrong haha, such a simple concept yet it's still very effective and I haven't felt stressed out that much in a long time! Please consider donating to the developer, we need more cool games like this one! <3
