A downloadable game for Windows

The Midnight Forest is a short psychological horror game I made in about 2 days. It's a remake from the ground up of an old, abandoned Unity project I started making over a year ago.

You need to fix an old car in a forest by filling the tank with gas, adding back the engine and the battery.

CONTROLS:

W/A/S/D - Move

Mouse - Look Around

Left Click - Interact

ESC - Show cursor

FEATURES:

Short, 5-10 minute gameplay

Minimal UI

CHANGELOG:

v1.0 - Initial release

v1.1 - Added more car parts needed in order to beat the game

v1.2 - Fixed car enter bug (Submitted by WillBotch), added more atmospheric sound effects

CREDITS:

BATTERY MODEL: amt16

CAR MODEL: kryik1023

TREE MODEL: IGamEFry88

ENGINE MODEL: TraianDumbrava

GAS CAN MODEL: JacobGroneman

SHED MODEL: luckyshotlayne

Hello!
I wanted to do a quick reach out, played this, liked the look, my first thing I check was to see if there was a nope out ending by going straight to the car, when I did, I was able to just driver away without anything else done, second time I played through, I found the gas can and put it in, then was able to leave again, think there is a minor bug with the car activation
Wasn't sure where to hit you up about it but wanted to make you aware but wanted to help

and if i may ask, then what is a game? there is a clear objective that when completed, the game ends.

and from what ive seen from your activity here on itch.io all you do is complain. youre free to not like short games but then maybe dont play them?
