Upon This Rock
A downloadable game for Windows
"Who am I..?"
Upon This Rock is a first person horror game set on a desolate island. Find the journal pages and piece together the story of this island and those who once lived here. But watch out, the island is not yet completely deserted, and strange lights haunt the night sky...

This game was made over 7 days as part of a 7-day Game Launch Challenge. I hope you enjoy it!
NOTE: For the best experience, I highly recommend playing this game alone, in a silent and dark room, while wearing headphones. Enjoy!
CONTROLS:
WASD - Move
Left shift - Run
E - Interact
Q - Cancel
Escape - Pause
Known Bugs: The optimization is still a bit bad, so I should probably work on fixing that, also sometimes the game crashes after the end slide. If you find any more let me know!
To Be Added: Some more props, maybe an easter egg or two, and also a credits page!

There are some issues that would be nice to have fixed, such as the performance and that you can get behind the invisible wall as I have done in my video.
Regardless it actually was pretty nice, very short though lol
Very interesting concept. The "enemies" walking around were super intriguing as well. Good stuff !
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)
A really beautiful game that comes with an interesting story, I died tho lol.
Fun game! I liked the atmosphere, the subtle creepiness of the sound design, seeing the strange beasts in the water. Great work, would love to see a more expanded version of this one. Almost got caught a couple times and it made my heart pound!
Upon this Dwayne I shall HOOOOOOO-MOOOOOOO.

First, I went for the light, after reading the first note. Next, I avoided them like the plague, as they were even deadlier than the disease. An eerie trip through the lands of an unknown island, brings the protagonist to the roots of his [non] being. Will he understand?
See for yourself.
Nice game. Had a great time. No bugs, hiccups or snags encountered, so kudos to all involved!
Fun little game, great job :)
Can I play your game and stream it on my YouTube channel?
Absolutely, I'd love to see that! :)
Here you go, I enjoyed the game, live the atmosphere and lighting and the story from the journal was interesting, well done, I know a lot goes into making a game so that is an achievement in its self :)
Btw thank you for letting me play it
I just adore lovecraftian horror games!
nice atmosphere
NO Commentary
the sensitivity is literally 100000%, jokes aside game looks really good
Love the Vibes, Hope you do more games of this style....I had no issues with game performance at all other then it crashing at the end!!
Super sympa
This game was amazing... it would have been better if I didn't wander off! Nice job, very Lovecraftian.
it was good!
Those people can go jump off the cliff lol
great short creepy game
Short but not bad. Made a video on it.
nice story
Thank you for playing it and recording it! :)
Mystic island with a bit of Lovecraftian flavor.
The game is definitely a neat experience. Most of all, I did enjoy the atmosphere, tension filled environment and a masterfully crafted melody. It did remind me of the game called "The Shore", which does have a similar starting point.
The story was well crafted, everything in the game felt simple, yet intriguing and thought provoking, especially the ending. I did have an issue with frame rate and sensitivity, although it was not concerning me after a while.
Wish you well, developer. Hope to see more games from you in the near future. Happy 2023 and good luck. Cheers.
Thank you for playing it, and for your thought-out words about it! The frame rate is an issue I'm working on, and will definitely be fixed for my next game if nothing else. Happy 2023!
i really enjoyed the game and the distrust is makes you feel towards the notes
Thanks a lot man! I really enjoyed watching your playthrough!
thanks dude gg
Really cool game
Thanks for playing and recording it!
My pleasure
Loved it! The vibe was so cool, like a Northwestern evening shore. The fog looks so good. Really dug the lighthouse, the lived-in feeling of the interiors, the source material, and the sound. Super spooky!
Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it. :)
Thank you! Going to take a break for a few days now but I got an idea for a one room horror game. Will post more when I know more myself!
thank you its awesome :)
Thank you so much! Loved your lets play :)
