Yesterday, a streamer I've watched for a long time played my horror game and called it terrible. Honestly, it hurt. I don't agree with him, but I respect his opinion and took some lessons from it. Not everyone will enjoy what I create, and that's okay. #gamedev #indiegames

I've always found creepy children in horror movies especially terrifying. Films like The Omen, The Ring, and The Conjuring really stuck with me. With Not My Son, I wanted to explore that kind of horror. #indiegames #horrorgames #horror

I got the idea for my horror game while watching a movie. There was a man dating a woman with a son, and I thought: what if the kid hated his new stepdad and tried to drive him insane? That's how Not My Son started. #indiegame #horrorgame #horror

CaseOh played my horror game!!! 😭 He actually applauded at the end, even called it "Game of the Year" and said he liked it! As a solo indie dev, this feels absolutely unreal... #gamedev #horrorgames #caseoh

Thanks to everyone who played Not My Son! So happy to hear you're enjoying the story ❤️❤️❤️ If you've played it, please leave a Steam review. It really helps a solo dev like me! #indiegames #gamedev #horrorgames

My horror game Not My Son is finally out on Steam! It’s a short psychological horror about a stepfather left alone with his new wife’s disturbing son. Hope you like it! #indiegames #gamedev #horrorgames

My wife surprised me with this cake for the release of my horror game :) It still has the old cover on it, but that doesn’t really matter now - Not My Son comes out tomorrow, and I’m just really happy to have my family supporting me through all of this. #gamedev #horrorgames

I actually like short horror games, so I made mine around 45 minutes long. I wanted every section to introduce something new instead of repeated puzzles or unnecessary backtracking. You’ll be able to try it for yourself on November 5. #gamedev #horror #horrorgames

Hi! I’m a solo developer from Ukraine, and in one week my horror game Not My Son is finally coming out on Steam. A like, repost, or wishlist would really help me and the game a lot. #gamedev #indiegame

While I’m waiting for Steam to approve my game, here’s the new cover art for my horror game made by my wife. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #IndieGameDevs

My last game sold only 24 copies at launch. My next game releases tomorrow with 996 wishlists. How many copies do you think it’ll sell? #indiedev #gamedev

My horror game releases in 2 days and I currently have 940 wishlists. Is that a good number for a solo indie game? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
