I was completely caught off guard by this game, well done! I feel like it captured the mindset of people in these situations well and I got pretty emotional lol
Glad to know you enjoyed our first game. We were sorry to see you become emotional mainly because it seemed as if it reminded you of one of the stages of your life. I really hope you are doing much better now. Our game is not meant to remind or trigger depressed people but for people around them to notice the subtle signs of a person who's suffering. We made sure to put a proper disclaimer because the intention of this game was not to hurt but to help people understand and reach out a person in need. Nikki is already dead when you press start in the game, you wander around as a soul, see evil spirits trying to consume you and finally reach your room where you remember that you took your life that night.
The aesthetic here was on point, and the storytelling was well done! I liked the usage of environmental interactions to tell the story and the few scares that were in the game were executed really nicely! The ending was completely unexpected (and actually pretty dark) as well. Nice work!
We were delighted to see through your game-play how much you appreciated it. You guessed it right! When you start the game, you are already dead and are just a wandering soul, you just remember it when you get back to your room.
You have a great voice and it really enhanced the experience!
Hey, thank you for downloading and enjoying our game! Your game-play was hilarious and we enjoyed watching it a lot. :D
We also wanted to make this a longer game but well, constraints and we didn't want to risk making a bad first game. But still, glad to hear you loved it for however much it was! ^.^
Thanks so much for making this game and congrats on getting it released!
With that said, I´m very impressed about the fact you guys told a story within just a few minutes, I enjoyed so much the design of the game: how you would interact with things, the voice acting was pretty neat, the creature so cool looking. I finished your game with mixed feelings, but will always say a massive, bold & underlined NO to that reality. Ended my video with a small reflection.
It was indeed a challenge to not only make a game that only scares you under 2 min (not all get scared but yeah) but also leaves some impression on the player. We also agree to a massive NO to that reality, no one should go through that fate which is why we made this game - to show the subtle signs of a person suffering because not everyone is expressive around us.
We are glad to know you enjoyed it and had something to reflect on! :)
I'm kinda...shocked. First of all, I liked this game a lot. I liked the graphics, sounds (voice acting), environment and the "monster design" as well as the design of the father and also not to forget, I liked the font a lot and it fit really well here. It's a very dark game...especially the ending. I hope none of you actually feel that way... Thank you for this experience.
Thank you for downloading our game. We are flattered by your detailed review and that you liked this game a lot. A lot of thought went to each thing that you mentioned so it gives us great joy when someone notices those details. It is indeed a dark game and it covers the psyche of people who go through depression/suicidal tendencies along with the surprise element of the fact that we are already dead when we start this game.
Hi, thank you for checking out our game! We are glad to know that you appreciate the turn it took because there are too many games just focusing on scaring the player without any twists.
Hey, thank you for checking out our game! We know it is a bit traumatizing (hence the disclaimer) and it's not everyone's cup of tea. In case the story wasn't evident, you can find the explanation in one of the comments below.
Don't worry, your guess was right. We are Asian, it's not racist to guess someone's ethnicity based on their unique way of speaking, it's called being close to accurate! :D
game doesn't like my monitor's resolution (1280x1024) :'( don't know what engine you use, but if possible it'd be nice to have a launcher that lets you pick resolution and windowed mode
that said, i still enjoyed all of the game that i was able to experience! the lighting on everything was beautiful, as were so many other aspects of the visual design - the terrace with its punctuation marks of white flowers in the darkness, the walls overlaid with Nikki's drawings after her first encounter with the ghost, and of course, the ending. i look forward to whatever you go on to make.
We are very sorry to know you had resolution problems. This game has been made in Unreal Engine, it is the first time we came together and made a game so even though there were not many artistic or story difficulties, we did have technical issues and bugs. We learnt a lot in this project and will definitely fix all these issues in our next game.
Thank you for playing our game, we are delighted to know that you enjoyed it!
In case this clears your confusion, you wake up as Nikki's soul rather than Nikki herself, who has forgotten that she took her life that night. Her soul wanders in her house in thirst. On the terrace she sees other souls but they are evil and want to consume her. When she goes downstairs scared, she hears her mother crying and finds out that she isn't alive anymore.
Hope that made a bit more enjoyable for you! Thank you for playing our game! :)
I felt such an array of emotions playing this. The ending was so unexpected. A nice, quick little bite of horror to send chills down my spine, coupled with a dark and sad ending, made this a profound experience. Great game!
Really good looking game. Although it was short, it was intense and that ending - all I can say is WOW, I was not expecting that ending at all. Nice work Missing Guns Studio, I look forward to seeing what you have in store for the future.
love the atmosphere, the voice acting and the grahpics, the only problem I'm having is, everytime the ghost appeared, my fps start to drop, but overall it's a great game!
Loved the atmosphere and setting of the game. Ending was really sudden but don't know if its just me or i didn't really get the point of the ghoul/ghost that appeared. Its a really well made short horror game but i was genuinely more confused than scared at the end. Really well made though
Ok guys, you are more than friends making games here; you are pros! And bigger projects need to happen! If it wasn’t for Mawn’s short length, I’d swear I was sitting down for a professionally-made, multi-hour horror production. It looks great, it feels very nice to control, whether with keys or a game pad, and has an amazing atmosphere! Mawn’s story is incredibly deep stuff that pulls at the heart strings, even though the experience is so brief. The voice performance is great; it doesn’t take long to form a bond with the main character. I can’t wait to see what you guys do next, because I’ll be in line early to play it!
Hey, thank you for playing our game, we absolutely loved your playthrough. It really encouraged and inspired us to push ourselves further.
You got us, we're somewhat alright with what we do and our end goal is to able to create games that everyone can enjoy without being burdened by a condition to mandatorily pay for them.
We all come from backgrounds where we didn't really have much access to quality paid games. Growing up we all have an ambition to provide the experiences we got pretty late in our life.
Mawn was our first step in making a self contained narrative. We really wanted to make sure we can finish our first game and thus we decided to keep it short. :) We really value experiences that give all they have and don't overstay their welcome.
Thank you so much for your positively infectious words for our work. We'll put it to good use!
Thank you for checking out our game, we saw your playthrough - Thank you for returning the favor by scaring us with your screeches! No joke - we all jumped twice! XD
Thank you so much for playing, we watched your playthrough, it was so entertaining, it felt like we were watching jacksepticeye play it. Great energy, great commentary! Thank you again! :)
A short, tense horror game focused around ambience and build up. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and I love when games talk about difficult subjects like mental health and raise awareness of it. So hat's off to you, devs. The only thing I'd have to complain about is lack of sliders / adjustments. Would love to be able to change dialogue / ambience volume. Looking forward to what projects you and your team come up with in the future!
We're absolutely humbled by your response and really really happy that you had a great time. We're very passionate about making experiences like this, just gonna leave that here ;)
Just got done playing it, was not expecting that ending. Phenomenal work on the game guys loved it. I also recorded a video on it that's uploading rn if you want to look at what
This is a dark story and it highlights the need for support. While the game is short, I like the fact that it focus more on the storytelling even more. I only wish there was volume sliders for music, voice acting and etc. But besides that, this is a nice experience.
This game was very well made, although short. I enjoyed the story and the little hints as to what the main character ended up doing, it was unfortunate to piece together. The jumpscares got me good, and that ending hit hard.. As a person from Nepal, it was funny to see Cricket, and the metal cups almost all Hindu households seem to have lol.. I had a small connection with the cricket, Doctor occupation, and cups. Overall it was fun, but the audio for the character was a bit quiet.. hard to hear during the ending especially. All in all 4.5/5 from me! First game in my vid btw
Thank you so much for enjoying our game! As you might have guessed from the cues, we are an Indian team and this was our first game. We are overjoyed that you noticed all the small things in our game and could understand where we were taking our story. Your commentary was really engaging and we enjoyed it a lot! :D
We are sorry to hear that you have personal experience with this sort of thing, there are no words to console a person who is close to a person who ends their life, just as we showed with Nikki's parents. But this is the sort of mindset that people generally go through before taking their life. Deep condolences to the family who went through the loss and to you, too.
Yes, we have quite a number of audio and other issues (including the mario jump XD) and we plan to fix it soon! Once again, thank you for playing!
Thank you so much for playing our game. Your English is good enough to convey how much you enjoyed the game, we are very glad to hear that! ^.^

I give this a 9/10!
Thank you so much for taking time to play and analyse our game. It really helps us understand the players and ourselves better. :)
Strong topics, great game.
Thank you so much! We loved your playthrough and reactions.

Wish it was longer. Hope to see more from this dev!

I completely understand! I hope the good reception this is getting will convince you to make a longer game!
Personally I would love if you guys went further with this story, so much potential. You guys will see me the first to be on top of it!
We are very humbled to hear that. Yes, we will focus on longer games without deadline now :D
I was waiting for a jump scare game, bu this took a shocking twist on the horror of reality. Ending was definitely unexpected.
Thank you for playing our game! We enjoyed your gameplay and reactions :D
We are very glad to know you liked our game, too!

We are glad to know you enjoyed it and had something to reflect on! :)
Thanks again and I hope you guys make more games, I was actually very impressed on the quality.
Thank you for the encouragement, we will definitely make more games!
I'm kinda...shocked. First of all, I liked this game a lot. I liked the graphics, sounds (voice acting), environment and the "monster design" as well as the design of the father and also not to forget, I liked the font a lot and it fit really well here. It's a very dark game...especially the ending.
I hope none of you actually feel that way...

I got a bit confused while playing this but was pretty creepy.

Thank you sooo much! We're excited for what's next as well! :D
Really dark, love it!
Thank you ^.^
love the atmosphere, the voice acting and the grahpics, the only problem I'm having is, everytime the ghost appeared, my fps start to drop, but overall it's a great game!
Thank you for playing our game, we enjoyed your playthrough!
Thanks for notifying about the fos drop, we'll see what we can fix to make it better. :)
Loved the atmosphere and setting of the game. Ending was really sudden but don't know if its just me or i didn't really get the point of the ghoul/ghost that appeared. Its a really well made short horror game but i was genuinely more confused than scared at the end. Really well made though
Thanks for checking out our game!
As for the ghost, the idea was to hint that Nikki is dead, because as looming spirit can see other spirits, good or bad.
That and the fact that her mom did not respond when she yelled "ya mom, it's just me."
:)

Thank you so much for playing, we watched your playthrough, it was so entertaining, it felt like we were watching jacksepticeye play it. Great energy, great commentary! Thank you again! :)
Man, I wish I could download it
Let us guess, Mac problem?
We apologize but none of us in the team have a Mac so we could not build for it.
can i know system requirements to play this game ?
Can you share your system specs? This game doesn't require high specs so you should be good!
Intel pentium G630 ,3gb ram ,no graphic card
Hey, i can help you for your next updates =), look that,
your welcome !Thank you, we have been collecting all possible fixable issues through youtube.We'll be patching them out ASAP.

Hey, thank you for the response.:) This was our first game ever so we kept it short since it was like a test project for us, we really wanted to make sure that we can complete it.
Gradually we'll start expanding and detailing our games as we get better!
Nice to hear that.
