EDIT: The lore and plot and backstory... Holy hell! Descriptive, thought out and makes you think of real life history and where humankind might be headed for, if not already at. Had a few deep moments near the end. Better ending (like I mentioned in the video) would have been just to BLOW THAT SHIP UP LOL!!!!
I can't believe I found this game!! it was on the first screen when I opened Itch. So I decided to stream it. Super amazing job and also... evil job on some of the jumpscares. I think my heart has turned into liquid and flowed out my rectum. You're welcome for the mental image btw. The lore is sooo well done. I can't wait to find out how this ends... Totally expecting a sad ending, or tragic death for me (with my luck). I will be posting highlights from my stream. (https://www.twitch.tv/vladtheuglyfattyfm) If you see this in time, you might be able to catch it, but highly doubtful, I think I might be almost done. But like I said, I've been taking lots of clips and highlights as I go, and I will highlight the gameplay and post it here. 10/10 AMAZING JOB!!!!! <3
P.S. The part in the mess hall with the thing sitting down and then turning around... FU! That was good and evil just to go back in and get a damn card hahahahah. Good jumpscare xD
I Cannot give enough praise to the work that your studio puts out! Im on a mission to play all of your games on my channel! Fantastic work with the spooks and the amazing storylines!
Thank you for the kind words; we're glad you enjoyed Decrypt. Be sure to share the video of your playthrough here in the comments when you've published it on your channel.
Hey Guys! The video published a couple of days ago and here is it! Keep up the fantastic work! Also this is probably one of my favorite thumbnails ive done.
Loved this game also it got me jump scared and terrified to wanna walk around. It was a little shame about the amount of reading but other than that you made another wonderful game just like within.
Fantastic game! Loved the Event Horizon vibes! Story was good and the text logs between the crew were extremely well written to properly lay out the disturbing back story of the ship and how it connected to the current goings-on. Well done!
Great premise! A little more problem solving and FAR less reading would be great. It needs other ways to tell us the background, not just pages and pages of emails. More jump scares on that final run would have been cool too.
I got Alien and Event Horizon vibes (BTW such an underrated movie, same as The Soldier, but this is the topic for another discussion :) ). The atmosphere is cool, sound design very well crafted, notes interesting. Bravo!
When I went to the canteen I almost fell out of the game, think had a collider bug (on the wall, next to the stairs).
Really liked this game to be fair. Great story in my opinion where it starts slowly just figuring out what happened. Overall turning over time scarier and scarier. In my opinion, really fun to play.
An amazing job working on this! Just one small issue tho: at the end, the "jumpscares" were pretty dull at that time because it was already expected anyway, maybe try something else?

Excellent game with very interesting lore behind it! I'm fairly cautious about these short horror games because they tend to have a strong start, but weak finish. I have to say Decrypt was consistently good all throughout and had a very satisfying ending, I can't believe it was only 45 minutes long. Were you inspired by the movie "Event Horizon" perhaps? It certainly had a similar vibe.
Hi there, thanks for playing Decrypt and for your kind words. Yep, good catch, we're fans of Event Horizon, and we're pretty sure that some of that influence made its way into the game. :)
Excellent! Smooth and immersive in so many ways. Especially superb use of lighting!
The jumpscaresque flashes were a face flashes were cliche, but used sparingly enough that i think they added (it happened twice i think?). I didn't like the red mist though.
I'm not sure if this is just a limitation of the medium, but I've always felt unseen monsters are way scarier than seen ones. I'm not sure there's really a way you can run and hide from an immediate threat in a game without seeing the monster (original amnesia took a go at it once I suppose), but if there was a way to be (or at least feel) hunted without actually seeing the monster... but again, not sure there's really a good way to do it.
Really enjoyed it though!
Quick amendment -- The game didn't have a "disable headbob" option. Had I purchased this on steam, I would have returned it immediately as that triggers my motion sickness.
Hi there, thank you for playing Decrypt and for your thoughtful feedback. We're glad you enjoyed your time with the game. We're sorry to hear that the head-bobbing caused discomfort; we'll surely look at adding an option to disable it in a later release.
Story was solid, scares were fun and the sound design made it 10x scarier. I liked that you embraced your limitations, and used the darkness to make the models more intimidating, although the PNG scares, while spooky, felt a wee bit cheap. Other than that, class stuff.
I did a video on it, however the story didn't have a presence in it, so proceed with understanding there I suppose. The long reading segments don't particularly meld with my editing style, it's not an underlying statement about the story itself!
I really enjoyed the game I recorded a video on it I hope I did it justice I was a little jokey through my playthrough but I really enjoyed its concepts and the story. great game
- Environment and level design is spectacular - Audio/SFX are great, really adds to the experience - Game mechanics are solid. I loved the narrative elements, key-lock mechanics, etc - Well balanced mix of jump scares, tension, and atmosphere! - I was really terrified glad I played this game! :)
Not gonna lie, this game was an excellent bit of horror. I'm a huge fan of sci-fi horror so I latched onto it almost immediately and I liked the Event Horizon style supernatural horror elements too. I wound up enjoying the game so much that I featured it on my TikTok channel here: https://www.tiktok.com/@dailygamebytes/video/7079540531231083819?is_from_webapp=...
Great job, and I'm already looking forward to seeing more from you in the future.
Phenomenal work! Everything about this was fantastic start to finish. And as a huge fan of Event Horizon, I appreciate a more supernatural sci-fi story instead of the usual angry alien.
Damn, I had low expectations when I load up the game but it's very impressive than how I imagined it to be. Keep up the good work, because you frightened me with this at times!
amazing game wish there was more when the end happened I felt like this could become full game and if it did I happily pay full price for it but 10/10 game in my eyes game starts at 7:17 if you like to watch it :)
i personally finished this game, its the last game i play on this video and was sooooo much fun!! good job dev i liked the game quite a bit, good environment and had great scares
A very well-made game, I must say. Quite impressive both graphically and aurally. The terminals do get a bit repetitive but props for putting so much effort in all fronts.

Good game! I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
Thank you for playing Decrypt.
Such a damn good game. Enjoyed every second of the story and the jump scares got me good. I named the antagonist Jim to be less scary...Didn't work.
Hi, thank you for sharing your playthrough; we're glad you enjoyed Decrypt!
No problem, Thankyou for the awesome game. Keep doing what your doing.
This was a great game! Good length and the slow-build on the horror was excellent!
Thank you for playing Decrypt and sharing your stream.
This was a super fun, tense experience. My only criticism would be it would've been nice to have more checkpoints. Beyond that, fantastic game!
Thank you for your kind words and your feedback.
