When I played this game, I wanted to see what happens when pressing z so I pressed z and nothing happened. When i pressed it again he came running towards me and when he got to me i was between his legs and everywhere I went he followed me. I love this bug though cause he was like my best friend :). I still think that this game is amazing and very well made.
I absolutely loved this game! Couldn't get it to spawn the text at the bridge so had to end there but overall the BEAT Sirenhead game I've played! Highly recommend!
Great start! Glad to see a game of this type be more than just collecting pages. There's some actual gameplay here! I'd love to see even more added to it, but it works really well as a short experience as well.
Notes on what I liked: - Good title/intro sequence. I like the music. That's a tough one to get right. - Nice aesthetic. I really like the look of it with the slightly blurry VHS look. Not overdone. - The lighting and fog are done very well to still allow you to see while helping to disorient the player. - The ambient sounds are great. I especially like the driving sequence at the beginning. - The rifle. Like a security blanket that doesn't quite make you feel safe enough. Love it. I saw some people suggest letting you use the scope & I thought even a reticle might be nice, but I later thought haphazardly pointing in the right direction really adds a layer of panic, so its great as is to me.
Some suggestions/creative criticism: - I'd like to hear the player's character voiced for the intro and directives as there's other voice work done. - Regular forest noises before the camp sequence would provide a nice contrast to the 'spooky' noises in the later game. (owls, deer running, etc) You can mix them together afterwards as well. Space them out, have some silence in between. Make the players jump. - You could literally make them jump at shadows as well. Draw things out, make Sirenhead appear less frequently maybe and have the player shooting at the moving shadows of the forest as they become more & more panicked. *You did a great job setting the tone with the sounds and visuals, but I think you can really ramp it up with some more tweaking.*
- As the 'Frame Rate' setting showed settings in Hz I'm assuming those are Refresh Rate settings. - The pop up directions really take the player out of the action. A short overlay at the bottom like 'Press C to crouch' without pausing would work. Let the player figure it out & sweat a little. - Checkpoints. Same as above. If you have to replay from the start, it desensitizes you to the experience. 1st one right before grabbing the rifle. Get the player right back into the action. - No view of the ping if you're facing the wrong direction. Maybe an arrow pointing to the side you need to turn to see it. (Though personally I think making the player wander around a little isn't a bad thing in this setting. Getting a little lost adds to the fear as long as the player doesn't get frustrated.)
Hope the feedback helps. Good luck! I hope to see more from you!
As I've seen in another comment as well, when i open the game it triggers SteamVR features; so I have to ask the developer UndreamedPanic.. Are you planning on making this VR capable? That is an unbelievably good, and unbelievably scary idea.... I hope for that.
Pretty spooky game but I think Siren Head was bugged for me because he couldn't kill me. I enjoyed the game still and included it in a 3 game gameplay that I will link below if you are interested, gameplay starts at 1:10
There are a couple bugs, if you spam z siren head cant get you, and also idk what happened to my game but i cant die normally, otherwise pretty spooky game
The Developer will definitely fix that, but only because people bring it up in this game's comments. Good job. All these important comments are read i bet.
I'm gonna play it and review the shit out of it. From watching Youtuber IGP (IGP's vid) and (Markiplier's Vid) Markiplier's experiences , this is the way a game about this creature should be.
No good ending. Atmospheric to the point where you feel there. Absolutely wonderful design. Two things I saw in the video are to be fixed however. One is the floating Sirenheads, the second is the (just kidding, nothing bad about it) Not able to save feature, as i see and feel often that pulling up a menu and saving every step gets you out of the game and ruins the experience to an extent. Maybe a lot at times. I love the classic game over screen when he gets to you, as a jump-scare that isn't cheaply played; but in my imagination there could be an animation of... your character looking up (slight smooth forced camera pan), and Sirenhead making a noise to fit the situation, then he slashes at you, then the screen turns 'Game over' then to black, you and your character scream as he beats you to death; all in the span of a few seconds...
...fading out for a few more. Back to the title screen. If i got scared just by watching a video with somebody playing it kinda with me, then... playing it by myself will be a truly horrifying experience.
This game looks amazing and deserves to be developed much more, and the creator deserves the funds to do so. I will give him a sum of more than 5 after I play it. I am enjoying this a lot! :)
hey,can you help me with this error I’m having with the game.When I extract the game out of the file and then I click on the application it just plays the intro sequence and then shows an error of d3d ‘HUNG’ file. Do you have a solution to this and do I have to install unreal engine to play this game ?
The developer likely just has time to work on his own main game files, not a single individual's single bug. Google search, research, test the game; figure it out yourself. That's my piece.
really scary game had a blast playing this game! yes there is minor bugs but keep on development! here is the link to my lets play of your game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rA79_8cptM4
It seems like a great game but sadly I can not complete the bridge objective. I get to the bridge and the Ping is up in the sky and once i walk to the edge of the bridge it does not let me do anything else.
I like the game because of people who played it, but I haven't really played the game yet. It keeps crashing and for some reason restarts my pc on its own. I'm kinda scared I installed a virus
I loved this game so much it was absolutely amazing I can’t even bring words to how good the experience was. This game definitely has helped spread the love of Sirenhead. I loved this game so much I put it in a video of mine and it is the last game I play which was definitely worth it. Good Luck on future projects I hope you can make much more.
broken game. soooo many bugs, i can't even beat the game. i've tried about 10 times and it's always something. A lamphead spawns right on top of me at the junction on the way to the ranger tower, can't interact with the radio, game doesn't progress when i get to the brige, gun doesn't shoot, and so many more. Please fix your broken game/demo. i love the atmosphere, but this game is just unplayable for me.
By far, this is the best Sirenhead game I could’ve asked for. It looks great, it’s scary, it’s atmospheric, it’s stylish and it’s fun to play. It’s unfortunate that my game did bug out on me, but no matter how many times I run through it, it never loses that eerie quality. And that’s what a horror game should be. Well done!
Atmosphere is spot on and the style is fantastic. Love the sound design. While there are bugs, there is also nice attention to detail. Especially with all the settings customisation provided. A major gripe I have is with the short trees. Think they should have collision disabled, would probably help the AI too. While the objective became unclear at the end, I feel like the objective ping was super useful. Great game!
This is unlike anything I've ever seen. When I heard about Siren Head gaining popularity, I was delighted, as I had already seen the old game. But this? This is just on its own plane of existence. Also, I'm delighted that this game is still receiving updates, I think it has a ton of potential. (On a final side note, add more easter eggs, we all want them)
Absolutely Loved this, It was so spooky and terrifying. Honestly one of the best indie horror games I've played in awhile and definitely the best Siren Head game!!
I know you're probably busy but it would be really cool if you could have like a part in the next game where siren head talks using voices of people on the radio. So like each phrase in a sentence is said by different people maybe using news report clips then using song clips. Overall this game is really cool and it deserves all of the attention it has been getting. (if you need any radio collages of sound and you're too busy I am willing to create a few for you just msg me @Thecoolmanhu#7287 on discord)
I get your thought process, but there's no reason a smart anomalous predator fully knowing of his natural abilities would use different clips of different people, lessening clarity to his prey; cutting it thin with the luck of his hunting. He's not Bumblebee from transformers with broken radio tech. I believe Sirenhead should speak with more 'local news station weather news'jib jabber and such.
I do agree that It deserves even more massive media attention, and the developer deserves some funds too.
He probably will, it was posted only four days ago, the developer's probably exited to all heck for the awesome game he created, and that people see it as awesome too.
I'm playing it on a Gtx 1080, and the memory is fine. Either a problem with the computer hardware, or something else with your computer. The only thing the game is at fault for is bugs. Research it and fix it, using your own brain. I'm sure you're smart. :3
Actually I'm already tried to research, but looks like not smart enough :( Hitman 2 Ultra settings are running perfect, and all other games as well. But I'm really don't know what's wrong with this game
The developer is likely a smart and cool individual, so it is likely in the credits wait lol thanks to the Creator for pointing that out instead of my little guess haha
Hey! The game will not progress at the bridge because the objective marker is floating above the bridge. It won't queue a voiceline, no text, nothing. It's just botched. Along side with sirenhead when you lay down, he can not harm you at all, you just get a face full of his gooch. Please fix because the game is amazing!
Its good, but there's a lot wrong with it, the sequence breaking is annoying especially when not told what to do and the general "where do I go feeling" is prevalent throughout the whole experience, running into trees is annoying and the starting over at the beginning really was hindering my progress which made it underwhelming at the end of it, fun experience though ig 🤷♂️
I have gotten a bug where i was at the bridge and the objective point was floating in the air so i couldn't progress further in the game(I'm guessing that's the reason but im not sure). The game didn't trigger the voice line so the game just ended there for me because there was nothing to do accept to stand there and just jump into the river. This game is amazing either way though even if i didn't get the ending, it made me jump a lot. Hope this game more attention, it deserves it.

Hmmm, two people at the relatively same time, with the same problem that "I can't die normally"
There are a couple bugs, if you spam z siren head cant get you, and also idk what happened to my game but i cant die normally, otherwise pretty spooky game

Might need a nvidia graphics card owo
yikes X3

i tested, on my computer it didnt do anything, i don't think its a virus.
Likely not the game, it's another application or your computer itself. Your computer might also not be able to handle this game.
this is super fun and spoopy
I loved this game so much it was absolutely amazing I can’t even bring words to how good the experience was. This game definitely has helped spread the love of Sirenhead. I loved this game so much I put it in a video of mine and it is the last game I play which was definitely worth it. Good Luck on future projects I hope you can make much more.
Loved every second of the game, really cool to play, did a little playthrough on my channel. Check it out
so lag

Bruh this game is so good if you ever get the chance a vr version of this game would be so fucking amazing

I had a super fun time playing but I ran into an error towards the end...
it will improve frame rate
The Atari look is part of his game's lore and style, so I'll just day deal with it kid, it ain't bad.
can u take of the atari look
pls
can u put more graphic settings
the game is to lagy
Atmosphere is spot on and the style is fantastic. Love the sound design. While there are bugs, there is also nice attention to detail. Especially with all the settings customisation provided.

I felt the same way! :3

Also, I'm delighted that this game is still receiving updates, I think it has a ton of potential. (On a final side note, add more easter eggs, we all want them)
Oh yeah, definitely massive potential and growing media representation. This will be the best Sirenhead game.
Absolutely Loved this, It was so spooky and terrifying. Honestly one of the best indie horror games I've played in awhile and definitely the best Siren Head game!!
One of the Spoopiest out there i reckon!

I do agree that It deserves even more massive media attention, and the developer deserves some funds too.
can you please make a mac version?
He probably will, it was posted only four days ago, the developer's probably exited to all heck for the awesome game he created, and that people see it as awesome too.
I'm playing on Razer Blade rtx 2070, and it's loads 85-90% оf Video Memory, and also launches SteamVR. Please help to solve it
I'm playing it on a Gtx 1080, and the memory is fine. Either a problem with the computer hardware, or something else with your computer. The only thing the game is at fault for is bugs. Research it and fix it, using your own brain. I'm sure you're smart. :3

Do you give credit to Trevor Henderson, the creator of Siren Head? I don't see it anywhere.
i did, there is a big "Credits" button on the main menu ^^
awesome to see! my bad for missing it, thank you!
The developer is likely a smart and cool individual, so it is likely in the credits wait lol thanks to the Creator for pointing that out instead of my little guess haha
This was my favourite siren head game to date! Icame across a few bugs at the end but my gosh other than that terrifying and so much fun!
Your game was that good I just had to make a video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66AHpel9o8Y

Subelo a mega xd, esta buenardoooooo!!
Will there be a mac version? I tried to make the game run with wine but only thing I got was errors.
Its good, but there's a lot wrong with it, the sequence breaking is annoying especially when not told what to do and the general "where do I go feeling" is prevalent throughout the whole experience, running into trees is annoying and the starting over at the beginning really was hindering my progress which made it underwhelming at the end of it, fun experience though ig 🤷♂️
most terrifying game ive played in a WHILE. I HATE EXTRA TALL THINGS
I have gotten a bug where i was at the bridge and the objective point was floating in the air so i couldn't progress further in the game(I'm guessing that's the reason but im not sure). The game didn't trigger the voice line so the game just ended there for me because there was nothing to do accept to stand there and just jump into the river.
