HORSES

The farmer is terrifying

Здравствуйте! Как продвигается тестирование русской локализации? :) У нас на покупку этой прекрасной игры уже целая очередь!)))

Will this game ever release on mac ? I discovered it on youtoube and would love to play it !

The video game equivalent of the nastiest brand of Italian Extremeism, up there with the likes of Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom. A very beatiful game for those who can stomach it.

I recommend people to play this game because of the incredibly unique way it is designed. With no voice acting and the silent-movie way of communicating. It is graphically interesting despite its 'low quality' and it reminds me of the first Fallout games with its janky and 'uncanny valley' models.

The story has a lot of potential that was unfortunately not used to its full extent. [Spoilers ahead] I was genuinely shocked at the night scene where we watch the 'dog' abuse one of the female horses while the farmer watches and gets off on it. The fact that the game just throws you into the shock of it by riding one of the 'horses' immediately as you arrive at the farm leaves the stakes really high from the beginning. The subsequent disturbing scenes can't really hold up to it anymore. This is a 'men bad' type of game where our main antagonist was abused by his father and consequently abuses others, especially women. Mouthwashing for example worked because of its well developed characters, pacing, and the diversion of the players beliefs. It also works because you actually play as the bad guy and get to hear his thoughts.

The farmer is very two-dimensional unfortunately which is a shame, because I think they introduced him rather well. The gameplay loop is simple but does what it has to. The story could have really benefited from more time. For example, when we finally see that the dog is not a real dog but similar to the horses - that genuinely shocked me!Horror works well when it subverts the player - if we see something coming, it won't be scary. I saw the ending coming as probably most people playing this game do. I liked the addition of choices, but why add choices if they don't end up mattering all that much?

This game has a lot of potential, especially with the unique way it is designed. The story needs more polishing however. Not necessarily the themes of it, but the way they are conveyed. When the woman who wanted to buy a horse was introduced I was really excited - finally another person who realized these aren't actual horses, what an interesting opportunity for complex dynamics! And then she never showed up again which disappointed me.

Nonetheless, the game definitely left me with an impression and I always appreciate developers trying something new!

I wanted to try the game after hearing word spread about it. I've played other disturbing games, even ones with sexual themes so I knew this would not shake me. And I was right.
I will give the creators this, that they tried some interesting things here: shooting in black and white, no music, fun FMV cut aways. That is about as far as my compliments go though. To me, this game is shock value with the depth of a puddle. It relies way too much on shocking the player by making them perform actions they can't choose against. It's not horrifying if the only choice is to play or shut the game down. True horror comes when you confront a player about what they choose to do willingly on their own.
Commentary on the church, sexual morals, and how people can twist their own perversions to lash out at others is nothing new these days and nothing new was said here. Honestly, it may have been more taboo if they were left to being actual horses you abused. I would advise for their next game to step back from such blatant shock value on work on true horror. 

No Hyperbole, that's in my top 10 games of all time. Something totally different, unsettling, great mix of FMV and odd 3D. Well done. In a sea of games that are all the same, you made something genuinely fresh and ...horrible. But in a way a game hasn't horrified me before.

god what a discussing uncomfortable experience, i don't think I'll ever forget this game. 10/10

I'm blown away by this game.

It is a serious political commentary packed in a grotesque and playful suit. You will have to have a stomach to push through it, but when you start playing, you can hardly stop.

It is a project that will be talked about for years and years to come.

Congrats, devs! (Played on GDC 2026)

cool game! definitely unique haha

Absolutely amazing! Felt like a Pasolini movie but even creepier. Great commentary on faith, societal norms, taboos and repression.

rispondo cosi perché anche per rispondere al commento me li chiude in automatico... coumunque ho già provato anche a cambiare browser, pago con carta 

One of the best games I've ever played. It was such an experience. I highly recommend it.

Holy hell, that was an intense experience. The imagery, the sound, the story were all spot on and the ending was just gold. Well done! 

Just In time for the year.

I loved this game, i was shocked by many moments in this game and I absolutely loved the ending. Well worth the price.

Thoroughly enjoyed this, it's highly potent stuff.

Bought this on GOG, gosh what an experience. I came from a review video and I am so glad I finally played it. My chest hurt the whole time, I was so nervous as to what was going to happen to the 'horses.' Great game, I hope everyone gives it a shot!

it was entertaining and very unique as a gaming experience, but i feel i missed out on a lot of the metaphors as an American. that's not the devs fault by any means, i just feel i didn't fully understand the underbelly of the game because of that and i believe other people would enjoy it more if they were from Italy. it seems to be speaking on political/religious ideology from the country that i can't fully comprehehend, and i realize that. either way it was still shocking, horrifying, and thought provoking. it never really felt fetishy either even when the main undercurrent was about repression of sexuality, which takes a lot of effort i think in the modern gamesphere. congrats to the devs and keep doing what you're doing, and keep porting it to English if you can so i can play it, cuz i will.

This was fire actually

I really enjoyed this, this was honestly a cool artistic experience! I hope the inital bad press doesn't deter you from making more stuff like this!

It's hilarious this game is being described as "banned" for being dropped from Steam and Epic.

The art & story of this game are very intriguing!

I'm here because of this, keep in mind there are spoilers in the video. But, I'm going to try it because of the vid.

Мне пиздец как понравилось! Это буквально то, о чём можно было подумать, но никогда не надеяться увидеть реализацию в виде игры (хотя мне на ум всегда приходили коровы и "доение". А не лошади.). Ну знаете, все эти содержания людей на фермах как животных с сексуальным подтекстом. Хотелось бы большего раскрытия именно подтекста, но, увы, даже такой вариант не даёт получить разработчикам денег. Игра слишком линейная и не дающая выбор, но в целом, впечатлило и порадовало. Хорошо, что такие проекты существуют!

Definitely one of the games of all time. 

 I bought it mainly to support the devs, now I just finished it and my feelings about it are kinda mixed.

 I think that gameplay is close to tragic. Ofc, I get that it's supposed to feel boring and as real routine, but it's still a videogame, so gameplay should be at least a little bit fun.

 Visuals of the game are definitely interesting. It looks very poorly done, but I kinda like it, it supports the atmosphere and makes the whole game feel more disturbing and uneasy to play.

 And story is, unfortunately, dragged down by it's gameplay. While the core is very good, it just doesn't work very well (it's very unpolished and would definitely work better if the whole thing was a movie that could fully focus on it.)

 Also, pacing is pretty weird, the first two thirds of the game are fine, but the final third drags a lot. 

 So, I'm really glad that I could experience this title and support the devs, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I would like to. It's at least very short, so it didn't feel like a waste of time. 

Vai ter uma versão em português do Brasil? Se tiver, me avise pelo email do canal que eu vou tentar apresentar ao meu público.
