so i really enjoyed this i thought it was something unique and different and that kind of technology horror is such a cool concept to use, i wish it was abit longer like i think this could of been dragged out with more dialog and lore but for what it was i enjoyed it. gameplay above hope you guys enjoy
I would absolutely love to see this idea expanded on! Maybe even introduce a creepy figure that appears at some of the locations when searching around for the marker. Very well done game, and can't see what you do with it next! Check the playthrough below!
This Game had A Concept I've Never Seen before! The Dark Turn on Google maps Was Awesome And Amazingly Done The Atmosphere Was Terrifying Especially At The End! Cryptic Story Telling And Didn't Rely On Jump scares? 10/10 In My Book! Cant Wait to See What You Do Next! ~Wang
I think I spent more time trying to play beat-the-clock and read everything to understand the backstory than necessary, so much that it distracted me from being scared....The plot or mystery is usually what makes up a huge majority of the creepy factor. I'm sorry. Q.Q I like it if the text gets glitchy, but when it vanishes the second it appears before I can even read three words from it, it leaves zero mystery and instead a ton of confusion. It really wasn't the feeling I was expecting to get from this....and it really did look so promising. Am I doing something wrong....? Or is it supposed to be this way?
Just played it and I had a similar issue with trying to figure out what happened by reading the text in the places and the game taking that interest of mine and disregarding it somehow.
This game has a great concept. It reminds me of the old google maps creepy pastas back in the day. I don’t know if this is a demo/PT, however it’s an amazing game and I hope more comes out of the story this game portrayed. Please, check out my video of me getting spooked with some funny moments in between. Thank you in advance! ❤️
OH WOW another youtube video I guess i'll just leave it here and hope no one gets curious and clicks it! 👀 LOL all jokes aside PaperCookies I really think you should ADD some jumpscares to this i mean that would do tremendously well considering its good already. The ambience was already making me paranoid to begin with so with a few jumpscares and a short storyline connecting the different locations that would be awesome.
PS: I had to edit out the 15 minutes it took me to find the pin in the water LMAO I didn't think it was possible to get over there!
wow! that was an extremely unique take on a horror game. I love the low poly setting. That always tends to make me feel unsettled in a way. Please build on this concept. I'd love to see more.
This was a really cool game. The atmosphere was set up so well. Definitely felt the eeriness the more I played. Everything leading up to the ending was great! The ending was a bit too short for me. Other than that I had fun playing your game! Good Job!
Papercookies seems to always put out top tier horror experiences, and this latest game is no exception. The concept is unique which seems to be a common thing they do with every game they put out, and the execution is amazing. Well done!
I really liked this concept! It brings me back to those point-n-click horror games. It mostly reminds me of when I used to have my janky computer and the graphics would look exactly like this! I loved how when you clicked on the map marker it gives you a description of the location only to find some hidden meaning or corrupted data. I don't know something with technology failing us and giving us mixed signals, error pop-ups, and distorted text gives me the creeps!
Gameplay-wise, it is pretty simple you go to the location, read the text, gather explore orbs and move on. The ambient music feels like we are running an ancient computer, you know the ones that make that brrr sound when it's working so hard to compute the graphics.
Now my theory is that something happened, most likely a plane crash in the forest. I believe that we are pilot that crashed the plane because near the end the mapfriend says things like "I'm just the co-pilot," and "it should have been you." I feel like the pilot is looking up information on the aftermath and stumbled upon this sentient map finder to make him relive his past. Either way it was a fun playthrough!
This is an incredible concept and I have no idea how you even went about making this, this is nothing short of a gem of a game. If you ever expanded it I would be ALL over it!

I love the idea of a GoogleMaps styled horror game and haven’t seen a similar game yet! Concept can open to puzzles and creepy atmosphere!
Really enjoyed playing and was on edge most of the time!
It was unsettling and always expected something to be lurking while I was exploring, hated the ocean part, did not want to explore too much there!
Very well done!
This was very original!

i played the game and theres some sorf of theory why theres an crashed plane? is the map friend an cursed site of the game?
I would love to know more about what happened! Maybe a sequel?

Super cool and scary 10/10
This was such a fun experience! It was really well designed, and the scares were so well timed and done! Great job!
Great short horror game.
windows defender gave me a warning, should i still run it?
Windows defender always warns about game maker games. Should be fine to run, since its also been promoted by itchio themselves.
The ending made me very uneasy... Great job!
