that's hilarious, I was so like happily miffed, if that makes sense, great game, fun to play and fun to 100% even if both were very frustrating (as golf should be), definitely your best game though I've actually enjoyed all of them, even the archival games, and yeah I do, I'm the same name on bandcamp if that is needed
This is a long comment but I wanted to highlight everything I appreciated about this game.
I loved this experience, especially during the first half of the game. The atmosphere was deeply unsettling and I hated it so much, but something in me liked it at the same time. The grainy posterized effects and off-putting music added a lot to that.
I also liked how it felt like something was off with the player character. When I play horror games, I usually find a sense of comfort in the main character because we're both put in a foreign and unpleasant situation, but in this game I felt detached from the character because it felt as if there was something just as wrong with him as the circumstances itself. Both of the employees that came up to him gave him a weird expression, like they saw something in him that unsettled them but it wasn't so obvious that it scared them away, more like a gut feeling. Also, it seems like the fact that he's completely alone (besides the stalking employees) in the wee hours of the night on a desolate golf course doesn't phase him at all, in fact he almost seemed cheery despite the circumstances. (for example, the "I'm fantastic!" dialogue option)
The golf aspect was also very fun with comfortable mechanics. I don't typically like horror games but if I could find another game that gave me the same feeling this one did, I'd play it. Well done!
booted the game back up to do the last 2 achievements and my before the music ends achievement was gone, but the pearl achievement which I got after was still there
i looked into this- sorry about the complication. These are the kind of issues I learn from as I make games.
You do have to complete each hole before the music ends for each hole (2,5, and 7) while the game is running. If you turn off the game while trying to get it, you'll lose progress. But you can go back and forward in menus. To do each hole, you have to finish grabbing the ball out of the hole before the music ends. But you can quit to the menu immediately after. Once you see the achievement in the achievement window, you need to go to visit level (or just hit begin to go to the first level) to save the achievement for real.
wait I just had to replay holes 2 and 5 again and for some reason it worked? then I found the pearl kinda exactly where I expected, now just to beat a full run with no deaths, also just a question for personal sake, did the holes have to be done in a constant "run" like I ended up doing in desperation?
As far as I know, no? I think the achievements do only count after you leave a level and go to the next one. I can't remember if quitting to menu before a level ends doesn't count achievements though.
came back after months, managed to do hole 7 before the music ended after many tries, have done the other holes, did not fire
also while attempting I learned there is in fact one thing I do not like about this game, the fact all holes except 12 are grouped, makes retrying so annoying
but yeah, I just really wanted to get that achievement so I can then work on the easy one that is no death and try to find that damn pearl, which I now get that reference having played it a bit ago
Pretty neat, took a bit long to introduce the horror mechanic but the mechanic is pretty interesting to play around with, it's mostly restrictive and irritating but that's the point, creates a lot of anxiety, pretty solid all around
This is hands down my favorite horror game of everything I have ever played. Sounds hyperbolic, but it's true. Do you plan on pursuing more horror in the future?
Cool game, quite intense. The jump scares kind of get annoying after a while so I am really glad that there is a turn of enemies option. I really enjoyed this game, but I just could not get the game to stop freezing when I entered the 3rd last level :(

is.. is the "extra button" really just an extra button? I thought it was that way so it would be a surprised once you got it
It was an extra button. Do you have a Bandcamp? I can give you a code for the soundtrack if you want.

I'm actively watching Hololive VTuber Ouro Kronii play this right now, and she's panicking so much, it's damn hysterical
And it's glorious!
Also caddy Gura so sweet and supportive (gonna miss her so much)

Thank you! I'd only want to do horror again if i had a good idea for it- maybe one day?

Tough game here but man was it good!
This game was hard! Thanks for making it.
