HUMAN
A downloadable game for Windows
Somewhere between sanity and madness lies a realm torn between the two. Illusions become reality, and reality becomes nothing more than a vision.
HUMAN is a short psychological horror game which examines inherent, earthly, and otherworldly evils, and the forces which drive them. As you make your way through an Alaskan auroral research facility in search of employees it quickly becomes very clear that something has become alerted to your presence. Suspiciously, once it knows you're there, you're more than welcome to be there. Drawing you in, you soon begin to question all you see and hear.
HUMAN is highly metaphorical, yet accessible. All is explained in its simplest essence, but for those willing to look beyond the surface, there lies layer upon layer of symbolism, and clues regarding the nature of reality, which add depth to the meaning behind HUMAN.
HUMAN is primarily story and experience driven, however environmental puzzles and problem solving are interlaced within.
CONTROLS:
W, A, S, D - Movement
Right Mouse Button - Zoom In/Out (Useful for reading tablet screens and papers)
F - Flashlight
E - Interact
Shift - Run
I am a one-man development team. Everything in HUMAN was programmed, modeled, textured, animated, and composed by me.

Have you ever wandered on the dark web looking for some intriguing videos wondering what is and isnt reality? Well look no further because this is it… Youtube Link -
Great game, I wish it were longer!!
really enjoyed it keep it up!
Incredibly thought provoking - perhaps even more relevant in today's world
Impressive!
this game was so cool, loved the atmosphere!
how do u get i
Really good game, I found it when I was searching for my game by the name "Human" also, the fun part is that my game is also philosophical and after thinking for some time I found that the best name for it is "Human".
My only issue really is that the subtitles are very small, so reading was a bit hard, as the voice acting while great, is hard to hash out amongst the static at time on the radios.
It's the second game in the video above if you wanting to see a bit of the gameplay.
Overall though it's worth the experience, and definitely worth a try.
Very atmospheric and the creepiness factor is on point, nice puzzles that aren't hard but are solid, the act of teleportation is mysterious as you don't know if you're just being controlled or actually teleporting. All in all i really enjoyed it. Thank you for making this! 2nd game.
This game was SUPER CLEAN AND AMAZING! Such a refreshing and delightful experience! It's a must check-out game! Thank you for the work that was put into this!
Awesome! The creepy, unsettling atmosphere was spot on. I loved it. Great details like dripping blood, flickering shadows, and ominous sounds. The ending was abrupt but other than that a solid game!
Really creepy game. I enjoyed it a lot. Keep up the great work!
A very fun and creepy experience, it's really good even after all these years.
This was a great game was creepy and had a good atmosphere liked the teleporting made it like a puzzle
A pretty cool horror experience. Well done! :)
Tried out HUMAN, a sequel would be dope.
I hope they continue with this game because it def hit the mark!
You did a lot with a very limited aesthetic! I think the VHS element actually added something here, because you can blame the blackouts/teleportation on camera malfunction. Very good idea.
I love the uniqueness of this game with the illusions and the separation of time with the changes in location! I would like to add that I wish the story was told more through the gameplay and the game itself rather than the tablets to add in some immersion. I'd also like to see a bit more gameplay implemented to give the player something to do rather than just walking around. Still thought the game was good though just needed a few tweaks! :) Check out my review here:
It was a cool experience!
I really liked the style. I like PS1/VHS horror type of games anyway so I really liked this one!
7/10 :D
This was the third game I played in this video and it was AMAZING!!!

This was a very well made horror game, it had me on the edge of my seat through the whole thing. Excellent build up, and overall great experience. I would recommend this game to anyone wanting to play a short but effective horror games. Well done!
incredible horror. must play.
10/10 screams
This game was A treat to play, visually impressive with a few interesting mechanics. Surprised this was completed as a game jam to be honest. The voice overs are great but unfortunately, the static really masks the talent, wish it was just provided normally. Otherwise great game!
What engine is this?
Awesome creepy game. Hope you like the custom thumbnail for the game on my channel.
Okay, this game was great. For a short psych game, it really did it's part! Had my heart pounding!!
Wonderful game! One man team for the game? I'm impressed it hit a lot of the good marks. One does wish the subtitles were a bit bigger. Audio sounds were on point and I'm hard of hearing
