Thank you for this! Finally a game, where I can shoot, not run and hide like a little girl!! I'm missing this kind of survival horror games. Enjoyed it very much!( got all the pawns too :) )
Wow! This game pulled me into its story, and I became so immersed! It was pretty dark, and I enjoyed playing through and analyzing its symbolism. Incredible job on this one! I love retro-styled horror.
This game was recommended to me, and I was not prepared for it!
More than just a horror game, had the narrative and real tension building stuff especially in the office. Loved it. I look forward to going back and playing the first game!
The story telling in this was really artistic are super fun to go through; the change in pace from the artisticness to the literal horror mannequins was super unexpected but still well pulled off and really, really scary. I personally thought that the story wasn't as well put together in this as compared to The Body; it felt like it was jumping boats a lot and some things felt a bit too ambigious or artistic; like the electric sparkles and Geiger counter which didn't feel like it fit into the place at all, but I still think that the scary office part was well done! Overall it was really scary and pretty fun to play!
Very awesome little game! I have yet to play episode one but def going to if its anything like this one. The atmosphere was really well done and that noise that those guys made when they ran after me was awful lol Great job!
Great atmosphere but could use a little balancing. I was not touched by an enemy until the boss. And while some enemies did make me jump I never used more than two bullets on an enemy so was always pretty stacked.
Great concept overall. I love games that do a good job of creating a Silent Hill atmosphere. My only complaint is the controls which makes the game frustrating at times.
This game is a wonderful horror experience, like every deadbyte game I've played so far. It actually is very smart with the way it builds up to the scares. Very great stuff, keep it up!
Damn you've really upped the horror from episode 1!! The combination of movement and sound in the office section made me so uncomfortable!! Nicely done!!
HOLLY SHIT THIS WAS GOOD, can't wait for the next volume is another one comes out, loved the story telling, and when it got dark I nearly shit my pants
The game is too difficult to be a horror game, the shotgun shells almost never hit properly, ti shoot them sometimes and do no damage, i mean the office part was scary at first, but then it just got annoying. I feel like this was a good game, but then it just goes downhill the more you play. And a bossfight? wtf? idk thats just my opinion. its a good game, but the whole health bar shotgun aspect of it kinda ruined it in my opinion
This is my favorite game on Itch.io currently. Finally, a fun horror game with actual gameplay and challenge. This was refreshing to play, more fun horror games like this and I'll love you forever. Don't read comments and play it, and if you're scared then I'll play it for you. ;)
Reminded me a lot of silent hill which was a bonus in my mind. There were a few issues. It wasn't always straight forward where you needed to go in town. Thankfully, not a big map so easy enough to figure out. Out of all retro games, the start of the horror in the office got me LITERALLY crying in panic and fear. A good example of a solid idea with great execution. Definitely wanna play more episodes!
Another great installment by Deadbyte, love this silent hill throw back, in first person no less. Gave me goosebumps, and jump scared the crap out of me.
Wow, I played both episodes in one video. I really liked the storytelling aspect in both games. I thought you did a great job with pacing and atmosphere. The final boss was interesting, I don't fully understand it, but maybe its for the best leaving it unknown. Maybe in the next episode we get some clues? If I had to give feedback, I would lower the screeching noise from the monsters a bit in the second episode. In the first episode the boat ride was a bit dull and slow. Overall, great job making the games! Looking forward to the next episode.
Alright, following my idiocy from before (AKA leaving a controller plugged into my PC), I finally managed to complete the game!
As I mentioned previously, the atmosphere is great, it's very reminiscent of Silent Hill (complete with creepy mannequins that are like echoes of Silent Hill 2's glitchy weirdoes). The story is also great, and the voice acting throughout really adds to it. There are some pieces that you have to put together yourself as the player, which I love to see in games in this.
All in all a fantastic second entry to the Real Stories from the Grave series, although I was a bit taken aback by the end sequence with the stealth combat. It wasn't a bad element though by any means!
Well worth playing for anyone who likes a bit of narrative storytelling, exploring and surviving in the dark!

Truly impressive stuff here.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

A truly terrifying tale. The gameplay was fun and unique, while the atmosphere and sounds made me jump
When will you released Real Stories from the Grave: Episode 3?!
Great concept overall. I love games that do a good job of creating a Silent Hill atmosphere. My only complaint is the controls which makes the game frustrating at times.

This game is a wonderful horror experience, like every deadbyte game I've played so far. It actually is very smart with the way it builds up to the scares. Very great stuff, keep it up!
Real Stories From the Grave - A Date to Keep - YouTube
did you know that someone else is trying to release or scam people with this? https://deadbirdd.itch.io/real-stories-from-the-grave-ep2-a-date-to-keep
Took me a while to get all the pawns :3
Silent Hill inspired? Oh yeah, does this count as playing in reverse :D

Quite a tale down into the descent of madness. I like how you a unaware of the spiral into insanity the entire time, thinking it is just monsters
