Video starts at 15:49. Short but enjoyable experience, I really enjoyed the visuals going into this right off the bat. The story it tells about nuclear warheads and such and the horrors it causes was a great touch and really enjoyed it. Overall a fun experience :)
Hey man, I can't really remember since I published this about 4 years ago. I can try to build a new version but might take me a while.
In the meantime, feel free to give First Winter a go. It's the remake/sequel to this game and I think you'll be able to run it on your Mac ok. https://danthai.itch.io/first-winter
Whoops, I just unintentionally trolled you, by linking to First Winter and it doesn't have a mac build. I remember people having trouble with it. If I get time this weekend I'll try to check it out and see if I can work something out.
"...In June 2017 Dan Sanderson published a micro horror game on itch.io called Pacific which, to his surprise, was picked up and praised by popular horror YouTubers such as MrKravin, Markiplier, John Wolfe, GirlGamerGab and RaedwulfGamer. Enthused by over 1.5 Million views and featured in Waypoint Vice and IGN's '12 Awesome Games you might've missed', First Winter was born. First Winter is a remake/sequel to Pacific and continues the theme of nuclear war."
Glad you got to play Pacific too, so you could see where it all started!
Well would of help if I had read that before making the comment. My denfense is I am an idiot. You ever played layers of fear because your games have a lot in common with that game in sense of the same doors leading to different areas and stuff like that. Was there any real story to this because the tapes that you picked up in this seemed like clips from old timey raido broadcasts and if there was a stroy here I had a bit of problem following it so I love to hear your take on what you trying to make it,
Playing this after being awake for 26 hours and occasionally nodding off just to be awakened by the music and inevitably staring into a blank wall was quite some experience.
This game was honestly my introduction to Indie horror games. I really like all of the twisting and changing corridors, and even though the graphics are so simple, the bed scene still scared me. Really like it and I can't wait to play First Winter.
Very good game!! But.. I would love to know, will there every be a day when the first game is free? I mean, I played it but I have some friends who wanna play it, and even though it's a fair price.. are like me: pretty much broke lol
Thanks for the message dude. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m afraid First Winter won’t ever be Free. Its not that I need the small amount of money that it earns (and it’s not much) but whenever I do withdraw funds from itch I donate it to charity. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no Ghandi; it’s just that I know someone else can use $100 more than me (I’ll probably spend it on beer or bills).
It’s already very cheap considering how much time and energy was invested into making it. It’s a bit like if you wanted to buy GTA or Call of Duty. You know how it’s really expensive but you still find the money to buy it because you want the game and you don’t have access to the developers to ask for it to be free? Well it’s like that except First Winter costs less than a Big Mac or a Starbucks coffee. In fact if your friends saved 1 cent every day from now on they could afford it by May next year! It REALLY IS not much money is it? Less than $2... Maybe since Christmas is coming up you could by them each a copy? Season of good will and all that!

Juegazo, buen ambienta
I love the ambience, and the pixelyness of the game! gg dev!
Really creepy game. Keep up the good work!
Dark and alter hallways. Good game!
Fun and interesting game! It gave me some ideas on history too!
The beds had boners!!!
The shifting hallways really through me for a loop. Loved it!
It was a really fun little game, good work :)
That one chair in the was the cherry on top of such a interesting and terrific game
It was a good experience,the dark atmosphere made me scared all the time waiting for something to appear.
Keep it up
Gameplay PT-BR
can u update it to 64 bit?
bcause i am playing at mac
this was a good game with good pacing and plays on the player's paranoia
Is Mac version compiled to 32-bit? It looks like it is when I try to run the game and modern Mac OS only accepts 64-bit
Pain, thats why I reverted mi updates so I can play 32-bit games (more games), you should too...
YES

On current build you can add 32-bit to the filename so there will not be mad DLs ;
I didnt even know First winter had a prequel lmao thank you dan sanderson for the memorable experience!
No Commentary

Yes, you're right! To quote the page description:

Wow, just seen this. That sounds absolutely terrifying. I hope the dreams weren't too disturbing. The music is a bit chewwy.
-Made a Video.
This video was uploaded year ago, i just forgot to share it that time.
8/10 - First Winter is better.
