A Day Without Me
Developer Gamecom Team
You wake up in an unknown city. A city without people, a city completely deserted. But you’re not alone. There's something out there, something strange, something terrifying. Somehow, you know your only way out is to figure out why you're the only one left when everyone else is gone. From the Steam store page

60 of 62 · most liked firstOK: This game has an excellent name and a strong premise (a child wakes up to find his neighborhood inexplicably devoid of people and himself its sole occupant). I respect someone just putting collectibles like an illustration of Yao Ming or a batik pattern for no reasons other than "I like Yao Ming" or "my ex made this batik for me and I wanted to share this memory," which are happily shared with the player in the user interface. There's real "I don't care what tools or resources I have, I'm…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Pros : -It's a creative horror mystery game because it doesn't contain many jumpscare - there is javanese language ( I like that) Cons : - the map design is too dragging , so many roadblock that makes player need to go around the city - when the color tone change some object look almost invisible to each other because of the same color - the story is not clear ( I think you need story update or expansion) - only…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game Bagus nih buatan anak Indonesia, lumayan lah buat senam jantung sedikit di beberapa aspek :v, udah tamat dalam waktu sekitar 3 jam baru tamat 100% sama semua collectible. Kelebihan (+) - Puzzlenya Bikin Pusing - Gambarnya Lumayan Bagus - Plot Twist di Akhir - Map nya Luas Kekurangan (-) - ada beberapa Glitch - Tempatnya Terlalu Pusing wkwk - bisa ke tempat yang harusnya belom boleh di datengin - Jalannya Terlalu Lama Ditunggu Kelanjutannya

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the intro is quite good but the exploration after it is not quite intuitive. Overall, it's a good game :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Boy, it's been a while since i've played such a BAD game. I am even struggling to find words to describe just how bad it was. Fist of all, the game fails to tell you what to do. Often, the trigger to get the "story" to continue is something very obscure and stupid, something you don't just come up with yourself. Then, the "story" is just ... missing? There is nothing. You wake up, have to turn off the alarm on the computer (?), then you summon devils (??), walk around the neighborhood, are…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game actually is pretty decent if you comparing it with other indie game on Steam. The story wise is kind of hard to understand because there isn't any thing that telling you straight away. I was stuck on Chapter 9 just because of i don't know where it want me to be, so i just walk around the map XD. The game graphic is good with this style of art. The game can make you shocked because of the sound. Lower the volume a bit. Thanks for making this game & please make more new games on the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game is simple and nice, with a bit of a puzzle that should offer you plenty of challenge. There's a mysterious vibe of horror that's definitely worth experiencing, especially for just a few dollars. So if you enjoy a good scare and a good challenge, this game is definitely worth checking out!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was a pretty big waste of time. The premise is really interesting, but it is absolutely annoying having to navigate through the game since there are vehicles blocking the streets all over. There's no sense of direction, and the fun of it is very short. The game could've continued on with it's "puzzle" type of gameplay but that is only the first 2 minutes. It then becomes a quest to wander aimlessly for the next hour or two. The ending is absolutely horrible because the objective is…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I Reluctantly recommend this game, it has poor english translation on PC for example: Where the sound coming? but on console it's properly translated: Where The sound is coming from? Check The Chruch? you mean Check The Church? Find Out What Happen? you mean Find Out What Happened? Oh and besides minor typo errors or just poorly put together english objective statements the sound of the alarm right when you load into the game among other sounds are so annoying you might as well just mute the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game ever, just Wow!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Clunky - Unclear directions - Dissatisfying puzzles - unskippable credits after initial "puzzle" - outright irritating audio right off the bat. Uninstalled after 10 minutes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/43083373/]Clever games curator review: 0/10 This is absolute trash. The "puzzles" are of the category "if there's a thing you can interact with, do so. If the first thing you tried didn't work, try the next possible random combination". The story is (maybe??) a thing it has, but good luck following it from the "clues". I haven't play a game less redeeming all year. Also, it completely lies about having full gamepad support. You can move with a…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very small download size and you can play it on basically potato PC menu is so straightforward and there are quite wide selection of language including Jawa the gameplay is quite... mysterious? There are almost no clue, and you will never know whether this or that is a puzzle or not Lack of backstory, which makes it more creepy, and the ending is so... unexpected. one of the best $5 i've spent
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the game is about cluelessness, and that's what we get too many time to spend, too many glitches, the storytelling is dragging, some ambiences feel contradicted with the game atmosphere, and no trigger warning at all the premise is cool imo, but the delivery isn't fun it feels like, this game only enjoyable for specific target audiences instead of casual players
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I spent 17 minutes trying to figure out how to turn the stupid alarm off to progress the game. Gave up. Obnoxious nonstop noise. Dont waste your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Done this for about 2 hours. Great Game I like the gameplay, the mystery, and the soundtrack/sfx, great! The only thing I didn't like from this game is the movement, it's a little bit hard to control, but you will get used to it, not a big deal actually Recommended!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Terrible game design literally could not figure out what i was supposed to do, no direction of any kind other than "search Neighborhood a massive maze of a neighborhood where every direction is a roadblock
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i've never seen a game take so much time to load, when i simply try to quit and exit lol i also quit after two minutes, because i think i was supposed to move a box, then climb on it to get a key on top of a bookshelf. the box disappeared when i was holding it, never to be seen again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/5 indie game, would give more if it had less mindless running - majority of the gameplay time consists of running and searching where to go next
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A nice unique concept of a horror game by an Indonesian indie game developer. I would totally recommended for people who like solving mysteries and puzzles. Great work!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Another cool horror game that i played this year
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very fun Gameplay, its horror but its fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's very unique experience of horror game, i already try the Demo first
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →There is no objective (or any hints) in the game making a confusion, the map is way to big with no exact purposes, and bugged item causing player stuck (I'm stuck at chapter 2 just because the ball cant be interact). I do interested on the game but if you can fixed the issue i'll much appreciate it
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i've only played this game for 30 minutes now, but in my opinion it is worth the price and definetely a good game for casual gamers and for those who loves puzzles. The game has a really simple user interface, the controls for the character arent difficult to operate and the game visuals looks fairly good and pretty straight forward. In the first few minutes of the game, players are well introduced of how the game works and can get a pretty good idea on the difficulties of the puzzle. The…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game yang cukup misterius dan menarik apalagi ini game dari indonesia karena belum banyak gamedev indo yang bisa mengemas gamenya jadi game yang berkualitas. overall keren deh sukses terus gamecom
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A decent game but: - There's a bug, which when I tried to go back to main menu and restart the new game, the chair, crown, and everything needed to the demonic circle summon puzzle is gone. I must restart entire game to make it appears. Just please fix this and you're good. A puzzle without clue surely frustrating but at least give it some clue. E.g. a text on paper with riddles to bypass numbered floors, etc.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game ini sangat fun dan addictive! Paling gw suka sama game ini yaitu bikin otak kalian mikir xD. Sangat unique dan cukup tertantang untuk mencari jawaban di balik semua teka teki yang ada di game ini. PROS: -Visual art yang mantep, stylish cartoony. -Mempunyai unsur puzzle (jd cocok bagi kalangan yg suka puzzle game) -Cocok bagi kalian yang suka menyendiri :3 CONS: -Terkadang ada bug dmn item itu ilang sendiri jd saya harus restart dari awal kwkw OVERALL: 9/10 "Stay UwU guys and ON FIRE!"

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love how they deliver the story, now i'm hooked by the first sight. Gameplay and the visual style is unique, its the first time i played game with this concept, so its very worth it for me. Even you get it free, you should buy this game twice.. Hahaha. Fly higher, Gamecom team!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting game. It does tend to leave you without much direction at times and you need to do some wandering to figure out what to do next. But the story and world is intriguing and makes you want to figure out what is going on. https://youtu.be/n5GnxxaBBGI
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Indonesia: Game indie yg terbilang baik untuk harga segini. Gameplaynya simple dan gak banyak embel-embel yg gak perlu. Ada beberapa bug/glitch waktu pertama kali main salah satunya beberapa item penting di Chapter 2 tiba-tiba hilang jadi gak bisa nerusin gamenya. Akhirnya harus keluar game dulu terus balik main lagi. Setelah coba mainin kedua kalinya berhasil namatin dalam waktu kurang lebih 1,5 jam dan semua kolektibel terkumpul. Sayangnya beberapa item kolektibel masih terlalu gampang dicari…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A Day Without Me is an atmospheric indie puzzle-adventure developed and published by Gamecom Team that places the player in a quiet, unsettling world where humanity has seemingly vanished overnight. The game opens with a deceptively simple premise: you wake up to find yourself completely alone in a city frozen in the middle of everyday life. Cars are abandoned in the streets, objects lie scattered as if people disappeared mid-action, and a heavy silence hangs over everything. This immediate…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game doesn't make any sense. You don't know what to do and why you're doing what you do. It's slow. SUPER SLOW. Most of the time is just blandly running accross the map not knowing wtf you are doing or need to do. And even worse of all, it's BUGGY and CLUNKY. When wanting to replay the game all items disappeared so I couldn't do another run. And to correct it I went to erase the save file in AppData/LocalLow and the studio is the first one which had two different files for the same…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Teaboy's Basic(ish) Reviews....I read a lot of reviews when looking at games on Steam, and it quickly gets tiring – those who write involved, down to the micron scale reviews, although helpful, end up like looking at War & Peace when you’ve only got time for a quick 5 minute dump! This is middle of the road and to the point – not easy for me as I tend towards sesquipedalian loquaciousness! Vociferously Verbose? Alright, verbal diarrhoea. (Although I hate panning a developer’s work and all…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate this game with all my heart there is nothing redeming about it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"Normally, I enjoy games that let you explore and figure things out on your own. But here, I often felt completely lost. The controls are frustrating on certain levels, to the point of ruining the experience. The inconsistent audio levels are jarring, even painful at times, making it hard to stay immersed. I ended up giving up, wandering aimlessly on the map with no clear goal or direction. Sure, it's a small indie game, but it lacks too much polish for me to really have fun with it."
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So, the map is big and mostly empty... Discovered that while looking for all the collectibles. Which... you can acquire most of them from just game progression. Some puzzles gave me a hard time because of the hit box being too wide. Controller support is almost non existent. The house is kinda straight forward and if you don't know how to explore, then I can see why this game can be hard. Especially for those who are used to having quest markers. A lot of trial and error, so I guess...…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It had potential, and if it is done by a group of stating out developers, it is still a good job. However, the game is way to cryptic and it is hard to find the way forward without checking - and the bugs can easily soft-lock you. If you need to go online to figure out how to play a game, I don't think it is a success. I also still have no idea what it was about despite making it to the second-to-last puzzle (where I was then soft locked by a bug, with no way to select an earlier checkpoint or…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →[Bahasa Indonesia] + alur cerita menarik + gameplay simpel + plot tentang hal mistis + twist ending yang tidak tertebak - sfx bikin pusing dan agak mengganggu - warna tone merahnya membuat pusing - clueles / kurang petunjuk - puzzle yang agak memusingkan - backsound music ingame sangat kurang dan terlalu minim - fitur map dan lokasi player tidak ada - fungsi zoom tidak terlalu dipakai
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →An Action-Puzzle game with a little bit of horror. It is a good game with a balance puzzle, odd and intense. I really love the world design and sound effects. The control, and third person camera needs to be improved but still this is a good puzzle game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →after finishing the game all i can say is i personally enjoyed the game because of its unique style for a horror game, definetly worth to spend for someone who loves puzzle/mystery kind of games. the graphics are okay even tho it can be improved a little bit to make it more intense. very recommended

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →"A day without me" is an interesting game. This game brings the excitement of puzzle games and exploration. maybe this game will feel a bit difficult at the beginning for casual gamers (I'm a casual gamer btw), but after successfully solving one puzzle after another and successfully continuing the progress of the game, the feeling of satisfaction and curiosity makes me want to play further. in terms of graphics is quite good by presenting a low poly style. it's just that sometimes it feels a…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really like this kind of game. Some one the puzzles made me to looking around for a while cause i cannot navigated the map well and Iam kinda rusty for puzzle games. But this game still a good game for indie game developer that wnat to strive between the giant companies.
