A Day Without Me

AdventureIndie

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

    OK: 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…

    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…

    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

    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…

    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…

    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!

    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…

    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…

    [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…

    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

    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

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…

    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.

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!"

    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…

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…

    "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."

    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.

    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…
