my boyfriend's family also has bees too, and he often works at bee-garden on summer

Great game, amazing style! MOAR!

damn man, i feel like you've gotten the FAITH style down to a tee now. i'm waiting until the steam release to play part 2 but i'm so much more stoked for it now that i've seen this. i like that playing the actual game makes you feel on edge and disturbed but it doesn't leave you with any gruesome imagery after you've finished. it feels like clean horror if that makes any sense. just boiled down all the way.

Thanks! Funnily enough I feel like I'm better at copying someone else's style than coming up with my own. I'm glad you liked it!

(+1)

I am even more afraid to go outside now. help.

(+1)

😊👍

OMG i loved it! Congrats!

(+1)

This is great!

I adore your work.

ngl I thought that the bee suit was a dead body at first

i think that's by design. the style gives just enough information to let you think you're scaring yourself.

This game was awesome

This game is amazing, I made a video about it

Bee afraid Du Dum Pssst

GOOD WORK DEV

Great job guys! 👏

(+1)

What engine did you use to make this?

Very nice art btw

The game was made in unity. And thanks! This was my first time doing pixel art and I think it came out pretty good.

(+1)

That was great! Brilliant pacing and music. A collection of short games, like an anthology of horror short stories, in this style would be amazing.

creepy 2d

GAMEPLAY WALKTHROUGH

I seriously can't enough of this retro style and the audio that goes with it, it worked great for this setting too!  I should go watch the film now right lol


(+1)

I LOVE THE the retro game its short and fun and very sad i almost feel bad for the bees that died I really enjoyed it :D

(+1)

I absolutely loved the style of this game. The distorted music and pixel graphics really boosted the ambience Ann's toed everything together. Great work, I really enjoyed playing this! 

(+1)

very nice game. i love it

(+1)

I like your game, I download it and play it

(+1)

I like bees. I like this game. Very nice! #1 on my video.

Protecc them bees, pls :'(

It's so sad when a beekeeper loses a colony with years of experience. 

Oh, and with this game made I think "Faithlike" is officially a genre.
