I'm Gunna be honest, never really been a fan of what I call "hide and seek horror" despite this I can honestly say this game is super well made. The graphics are impressive and the primary mechanic is original and well thought out. You can see my full play through on my YouTube channel right here!
The mirror mechanic really drew me to this game & whilst it has it's pros & cons, I really enjoyed the game! I made a few suggestions at the end of the video but, for a final year project, really well done! Definitely
keeping an eye out for further updates and releases!
Thank you for getting back to me! Already have it downloaded on Steam. I'll try and remember to leave feedback here and there when I'm done with it though!
Deepened by the state of the broken glassed veil.. do we seek out the Monsters of our worst NIGHTMARES!
The game ran smoothly and was expressed through a perfected style. It was intriguing to play backwards with a mirror.. It was wobbly at first. But it got easier afterwards.
The problem I ran into, is that I ended up losing the need of the mirror after realizing that I could play through sound. You can locate the demon, or monster through the sound of the water, esc, Davy jones locker music lmao.
I didn't quite understand the story other than the MA had a mirror, which caused a monster to leak into the real world.. Would LOVE to see how this is possible when and if the game comes out on FULL RELEASE..
Solid "avoid the monster" gameplay and level design but I found the mirror to be more detrimental to your survival than helpful so I did most of it using just sound and the darkening of the screen when you were close to the monster to guide me through.Also, I don't know what kind of framerate I was getting (20 fps maybe? My computer ain't what it used to be,) and man, motion blur really looks bad on low framerates.
Very nice design... it would be great if we could configure the keys to move, because in France, we use the AZERTY keyboard and your configuration is not easy for us... It would be better to use the arrow keys.
Forild, I found the game idea very good and very interesting, I wanted to know two things about the game, the first thing is if there will be a mobile version for the game in the Google Play Store, the second thing is if the game will also have on steam.
okay understand, one more question for you, the game will soon have other languages like "French, Japanese, Italian and Portuguese" a point that would be nice for your game.
Graphics reminded me of of dishonoredwhich I liked, the enemy was decently predictable, but all in all I liked it. The concept is really neat, I regarded it as "playing a horror game with a rear view mirror" lol
What an awesome, frightening game! The mirror mechanic was super cool and the monster was truly scary! Very well done! Really want to see more of a game like this, like a whole story of the player being hunted down by these mirror monsters! Hope you enjoy the video!
The mechanics and game-play were something I never saw before when it came the to hand mirror. Very creepy and stressful with that monster running around! However I really enjoyed playing it and recommend trying it out!
Hello, someone contacted me on Discord asking me to try this game today, I believe they have setup a copy of your itch page with a fake (likely a virus) download.
This game had to be the most STRESSFUL GAME I've played so far. BUT...it was also the most perfect game when it comes down to fear😂💯! If you have time then you can see my reaction here 😁😎
this was the first game i played in 2022 i didn't know i can leave comments ^_^ but, i really enjoyed this game cant wait to see more from you and your group :)
A fun little horror game where you escape a monster as it stalks a harbour. The visuals are great and the monster itself is nice and creepy. Above all, the use of the hand mirror is a great mechanic that helps this game stand out from the crowd. If you want a challenge, give this one a try.
I may or may not have screamed whilst simultaneously crapping my pants.
Thanks for the great horror experience, it was the perfect game to play coming back into the fray of content creation mixed with GREAT indie horror games.

Here's a 12 second video from this awesome game.
The mirror mechanic really drew me to this game & whilst it has it's pros & cons, I really enjoyed the game! I made a few suggestions at the end of the video but, for a final year project, really well done! Definitely
keeping an eye out for further updates and releases!Two questions!
Any update on when this will be released on Steam? I thought it was today.
Is it the same game that you can download here and it's just not released there yet, or?
Anyway, I'm excited to play this one. It was hard to not look at reviews! lol
The game is now released on steam
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1856930/Wayward_Harbor/
It has a few small improvements, but nothing major has changed
Thank you for getting back to me! Already have it downloaded on Steam. I'll try and remember to leave feedback here and there when I'm done with it though!
This game gave me a thrill of FRIGHT!
Deepened by the state of the broken glassed veil.. do we seek out the Monsters of our worst NIGHTMARES!

Hi! You can already wishlist the game on steam, it's coming out soon. We are not planning a mobile version atm

Sehr nette Horrogame für zwischendurch :)
Das Feature mit dem Spiegel ist mal ein ganz anderes Erlebnis.
Top!!
Build for linux
(GAME 3) ngl the mirror mechanic needs a little work....felt like i couldnt really use it for anything besides lookin at the creature warp to me
Very cool idea to use the mirror to spot the monster, would love a full story game based off of it, Thank you for making this! 2nd Game.
Interesting mechanics which got me more than they should :D
Нереально душный монстр, от которого можно часами прятаться под столом
it's fun

Dude, imagine if it has VR compatibility, that'll give you better control of the mirror.
Incredible! 👨🧔
The mirror is very awkward to use
The monster in this game is absolutely fantastic from the look to the concept!
I may or may not have screamed whilst simultaneously crapping my pants.

Hi,
I really enjoyed the videos, the game is great.
What is the roadmap, a release on Steam, and especially a Linux version is planned?
Thanks :-)
