I Can Hear Them Coming
You receive a letter from your Aunt Ethel. She’s in danger, and she needs your help. Explore her cabin in search of clues to find where your aunt has hidden herself and what exactly she’s hidden herself from.
I Can Hear Them Coming is a top-down, pixel-art experience that will take players only a few minutes to complete.
I created this "game" to learn about Unity scene management, pixel art animation, and object states. If you have thoughts that you'd like to share please reach out to me on Twitter @calebjross
Instructions:
- Use WASD (or a gamepad) to move
- Use Enter to interact with the environment
- Use Escape to Quite the .exe versions of the game

Thank you so much for playing this weird little experiment of mine.
"Who puts a bench in their house?" I love that! Yeah, I just kinda found some assets to use.... :)
At the end I was like "what ?"
Thank you so much for playing my weird little "game." I learned a lot making it. I'm seriously considering expanding it into something more in-depth.
Well have fun making games ❤️
This was so cute! I love the smoothness of the animation and it was a fun little experience
Thank you!!!!! This was such a fun game to make.
the collitions are not exactlies.
pdt: sorry my english not is perfect
best game can you make a part 2
Thank you!!! I'm definitely considering expanding this game.
This was really funny to play, if you make more games like this in the future, l would love to play them!Especially from the story perspective :D
There seems no way to start the game on mac tho, so i started it in web, which seems to work fine.
Thank you!!! I'm definitely considering more.
Thanks for the note about the Mac version. I have no way of testing on a Mac myself, so I truly appreciate the feedback. I'll look into ways to fix this. Until then, I'll probably remove the Mac option for now.
Alright! If you want me to test if the games work for mac, just write me, i'm glad to test anything.
Thank you!
👍
