The guys that end up chasing you always look ridiculous to me with their portly bodies and flapping arms, but the driving and tension up to the point they show up is amazing. I really should grab this at some point
I like their look you could pretend they are deformed people, but would be cool if the dev could add more scenarios, like UFO/aliens abduction, mothman/chupacabra, hills have eyes people.
New gameplay added, where you can help NPCs escape:

The atmosphere is so amazing. Not too sure how I feel about the enemies who chase you, mainly their design. Otherwise it looks amazing and I can't wait.

The atmosphere is 10.Big thanks to everyone for their feedback! Here's a couple more clips from 0.0.3:
They've nailed the atmosphere. It's one of those games where you can't believe someone didn't think of that concept before.
Happy New Year everyone! To celebrate, I've updated the demo - v001 adds controller support (experimental, only tested with 360 controller), manual shifting, wipers, better headlights (less blinding fog), ragdoll goons and WASD by default. You can also switch on electricity for the whole map.

Thanks! Not until I start working with a real programmer. I did my best to optimize but it still runs bad on Mac - tested on a friend's iMac: 10-15fps @ 720p. For the full release, there will be a Mac version for sure.
Can't wait to try the improvements, and glad to see you're on Era!
Question about distribution - have you considered setting up an itch.io page to make it a bit easier for fans to update demo builds? It's quite an indie-friendly community and I would appreciate being able to manage the file through the launcher for personal ease of use instead of needing to manually download zips.
Thanks. Will follow! (And I'm not even a PC gamer :-))
What are your goals for the game? In terms of a release, consoles, ect! Do you intend to add non vehicle enemies?
I was in until I realized it was all in a car. The aesthetic seems wasted on the gameplay IMO, and I really, really love the aesthetic.
had my eye on this since you initially showed it, Soul Challenger - wonderful idea, keep up the great work

If you told this was a Silent Hill driving game, I would believe you with no hesitation. Environments looks unsettling.
This will most probably be the last demo update - but, yeah I've read very positive opinions about itch.io
I'm currently evaluating all possible funding options and also looking into alternative ones. First step will be to put together a small team for the production of the full game (right now I'm just one guy, with two kids - not ideal for a project of this scope). Release date, if all goes well: 2020-2021. Platforms: definitely Mac, PC, possibly XBox, PS. Also VR would be quite fitting I think.
Concerning non-vehicle enemies: yes!
It's definitely possible and I've talked with an XBox representative about this - the good news is that it's now much less of a pain to port to current gen consoles than it was with the last generation.
Yeah, this is an ongoing internal dilemma - getting out of the car could make sense but it would also increase production cost. Gameplay in the demo is currently very limited - it may seem it's only about being chased, which is not the goal for the full game.
Well that was exciting haha. I knew about the concept from this thread obviously, but I didn't know how I would trigger the "enemy car". Well a couple of seconds in, the heavy piano sound kicks in, headlights flash up behind me and I know shit's about to start, pretty cool moment I must say! And also getting stuck in the mud off the street can be terrifying as well with those creeps in your neck. Atmosphere and also the graphics seem top notch already, really impressed.
I tried playing with my Xbox One Controller, but only certain buttons work. Left shoulder button for enabling headlights works, the right stick for camera control tool. Right trigger doesn't do anything though, so I couldn't accelerate. I played a round with keyboard then which works surprisingly well considering I hate playing anything with cars on it. Looking forward to full controller support in future demos / the full release, though. I might connect some other controllers to see if they work. I'm really interested to see what this game will have to offer once it's finished. It seems like such a cool idea. Gonna play some more later on, demo is really fun

I think the "in car" thing is a unique angle and I'd rather the game focus on its strengths and unique aspect than trying to do too much.
:) Many people draw that parallel. The film that really left a deep impression on me is "Vanishing Point":

Awesome, anyway we can support you guys financially? Is this your project for income or for a hobby? Crowdfunding might be an option if it's your full time thing?
Also Xbox has Early Access now however I am not sure how easy it is to apply. Could raise revenue that way.

Excited to see how it turns out either way, even if the gameplay in the end turns out not being for me :)

My ride on the 2nd demo:
I tried the demo with the xbox one controller and the accelerator button is not assigned so is not possible to drive. Only works for the light, the windshield and the ¿brake? so is very partial support for the moment and useless.
Waiting for the full support.

These newest videos look incredible.
I'd love it if there was an option to have unlockable cars that just creepy versions of pop culture big icon cars like the delorean, AE86 and GTR R34
