Part 2, a much more sophisticated Psycho-Horror game, is going to come out soon!
To support it, wish-list it on steam!
Wish-list Dracula's Prey!
What starts out as a seemingly normal day, soon turns out to be a nightmarish chain of increasingly gloomier repetitive days.
The graphics are based off stock photos.
The design of the night man himself was based off a description by Greasy Paint.
Mouse and keyboard controls.

I honestly have no idea how I feel about this game.
Maybe that was half the point of this game.
But I appreciate you playing it!
(Quick warning, there'll be a much bigger sequel coming out in the future)
You got my girlfriend good a few times with this one, haha. I like how you managed to make stock photography creepy!
I love this game! The usage of stock photos for everything is done super well, the animation work with the stock photos is very impressive, and the faked first-person navigation (with W and S keys) and faked Field of View (slightly distorting the image around the sides of the screen) are extremely creative!
That said, I had a really big issue with the first scene in the warehouse. The flashlight was hard for me to find, but the note was impossible. I literally spent like 5 minutes straight stuck on that one part, trying everything I could think of and even attempting to brute-force it by moving my mouse over every inch of the screen, yet I couldn't find anything. I eventually looked up ManlyBadassHero's playthrough for the solution, and judging by the fact that he had to put a jumpcut in his video, it probably took him a long time to find it too. The note is super small and blends in well enough that it doesn't seem like something that I could actually click on, and it's so low-resolution that it just looks like a couple of pixels, so there's no way to tell that it's actually supposed to be a note. Next time, I recommend that you use a sticky note or a piece of paper with tape, and have it stuck to the side of something and facing the player, instead of just lying on top of a shelf. That way, it's much more obvious to the player, and looks more like a note was meant for the character to read.
This game was absolutely worth it though! It's such a cool concept, and aside from the note, it was executed very nicely. I look forward to playing your other games, as you definitely have a lot of talent and creativity. Well done!
Hey there!
Thank you for all the compliments, I really appreciate it and I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
About the note: wait, the note is literally a piece of paper with a piece of tape, facing the player before you click on it.
I just played it myself to double check and the paper is taped face forward, visible.
Are you sure you weren't just ... dreaming? Maybe try again and you'll see...
What the hack is happening
Look behind you! :O
thicker the game is so stupid, weird and crazy
Thank you for playing
Its very unique and the jumpscares got me😭
Its interesting!
it'll be great if there were more games like this!
This was my second playthrough and i noticed something-
After the jumpscare on the "pulling" the bricks scene
My screen started shaking until the end
I though it was a part of the game but that didnt seem to happen to others
Although it might be my internet or a bug, I hope it gets Fixed soon,,
Thank you for the experience!
Hey thank you very much for playing and the compliments! I'm glad you enjoyed the game!
Thank you for telling me about the issue of the camera shake.
Yeah, that's not supposed to happen! Apparently different computers respond differently to it.
So I made an update to make sure the shaking stops correctly for everyone.
It should work for you now too!
Hi! I tried replaying it again and yes it indeed worked!
I will post a video again of my playthrough soon.
I love the update on the chasing scene of the night man and the home screen!
Thank you for responding and listening to my issue!
Awesome! I'm glad it works now!
Happy you like the updates! :)
I'm looking forward for your new play through!
Oh if you're talking about that
a few days ago C:I already posted it
Just quite laggy as for my internet connection but
Here you go!
Awesome! Thanks for playing!
Sometimes activating "Hardware-accelerated video decode" in your browser settings makes it less leggy! ;)
Btw. not sure if you do animal game play throughs, but I just brought out a fish eater game if you want to check it out, feel free!
well that was an... experience
Thank you, glad to hear you had an interesting... experience!
Thank you for playing it! :)
Interesing game and use of image banks.
Thanks for the play through!
Not enough game devs make games like this anymore. It reminds me of early Newgrounds.
SO much fun and SHOCKINGLY entertaining
Thank you very much, I appreciate it!
"shockingly" entertaining indeed haha.
I'm sure most people, much like myself, didn't really believe you could do good horror with those cheesy stock photos
I was VERY wrong as this is indeed GREAT horror! :)
I'm very pleased to hear that.
I appreciate you!
now super creepy :D and wait night man 2 :P
Thank you so much for doing another Game Play of it! :)
spokky ;D
Hey cool!
Thanks so much for streaming it, again! :)
