The game was pretty interesting and very pretty for a voxel game. I really enjoyed it and hope to see more from you in the future, even maybe a more full game. A lot of potential here! Video:
I know this game isn't super intense in terms of graphics, but my computer is shite. Is there any way to adjust graphical settings? I really wanna play this but its playing just a wee bit slow.
A short, but well crafted game, Embuscade is an unusual combination of voxel style and horror theme, and I feel the two were combined very well. The subtle lighting and crisp audio worked well with the gritty textures to build just the right amount of spook, and the plot twist in the end was amusing as well.
This game is beautiful! Ran smooth, which is awesome, and has cool mechanics that keep you moving! Loved the twist, and the hints given around the game to make you go “OHHHH, DUH!” At the end.
How can I describe this without giving too much away? Umm, it was short yet riveting! I had a super fun time with this one, there's so much nuance and story bundled into a tiny package and I loved every twisty turny second of it.
The look of it, the feel of it, the atmosphere... everything is spot on! Great work, really looking forward to seeing more of your ingenuity in the future.
That was a total shock, I did not expect that, very well done for this game. This is the sort of think I love. Is this on Gamejolt? If it is I will support it there too.
A simple game with HUGE IMPACT! Totally did NOT see that twist coming at all! I love the art style you chose; it game the post-apocalyptic feel even more depth for this story. Thanks for creating this experience and will be on the lookout for future projects!
That was awesome! Graphics style amazing, I spent a lot of time slowly looking round corners for the threat, so the twist was great. Please make more games like this!!
I'm assuming you're on Windows 10? Right click on the icon, go to properties then select Compatibility and tick the "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select "Windows 8". Apply and close. Then run the game.
This is your first game? But where's the overused character models? Where's the Incompetech music? Where's the terrible animation? WHERE'S THE OVERALL BADNESS?
But seriously, though, this game is really well done for your first game. Here's my video:
I've just uploaded a Lumps Play for this. I had a really nice time! As everyone has said, the atmosphere/sound/pacing/tone were spot on, and the hunger mechanic/end twist made the entire thing as a whole engaging and worthwhile. Voxels are often seen as toy-ish, but you show here that you can make a really effective atmosphere if you do it right.
I can't believe this is your first attempt at a game, that's so refreshing from someone who's played hundreds and hundreds of repetetive indie games (specifically horror)! Please keep making games? Please? Following you.
This game has a neat minecraft in noir theme to it. I think the term is suppose to be voxel but, i've never heard the word before and, am not sure what voxel really means!
I enjoyed the hungry mechanic it really put a sense of urgency to maintain and, it ties inot the story well. The start menu was impressive with the signs on the fence.
The biggest thing was the twist at the end! Was a major shocker!
Hiya, I'd first like to say that the game is very well made. The atmosphere is tense and mysterious, there are little clues throughout the game that hint as to what's happening so the story is pieced together as you progress and I really like that.
The voxel artstyle is striking and definitely makes the game stand out, it looks fantastic! The sound design is also well put together and well executed throughout the game.
It is quite a short game, but I think the length is perfect. The game builds itself up nicely and ends at just the right moment.
All in all it was a great experience, I hope you don't mind but I made a short let's play video of the game on my channel.
This was a VERY good atmospheric, zombie-themed horror game. Loved the sound design and "Imscared"-type grainy textures that were implemented here, and it kind of reminded me of Minecraft in survival mode with the food bar and block-like designs. Plus, there is a special surprise in the video ;)!
The visuals were really nice, and the sound design was good. The main problem was that the "twist" moment was obvious from the first few seconds of the game. Removing the hud element in the lower left, as well as removing the signs explaining why there's a quarantine would have made a very big, positive difference.
The final moments of the game were very nicely timed and executed though, the timing was just right and I ended up with a smirk on my face.
Last but not least: I sadly have to admit that I at no moment felt scared or threatened, mostly because I realised that I was unable to run or move in any way that would facilitate fleeing or similar.
All in all, it holds together really, really well, but the few little tweaks I mentioned would've gone a long way I feel.
Great game! Not my cup of joe but it was still great. It was interesting to find that you are the zombie. Although, I have one question: Where did the blood come from? Was it coming from the victim? Anyways, as much as I would like to feature it on my channel, I was only able to play it on my own because I couldn't record it. Admitedly, I'm tired of repeating the words "I couldn't record it." Well, if you enjoyed this little rant/comment, go ahead and subscribe to my channel! Don't worry, I try to make my videos funny - not serious. And I try not to rant, either.

This game looks really awesome for what it is. Wish there was more!!
Hello! Played this game on our channel, I love it! You have more projects coming up?
The game was pretty interesting and very pretty for a voxel game. I really enjoyed it and hope to see more from you in the future, even maybe a more full game. A lot of potential here!

Gave it a go...
This game's sound track is great! I really hope they make it a lot longer! It's an pixelated atmospheric "survival" horror game.
If you'd like to check out gameplay before downloading it, you can here:

Good job on this.This game is beautiful! Ran smooth, which is awesome, and has cool mechanics that keep you moving! Loved the twist, and the hints given around the game to make you go “OHHHH, DUH!” At the end.
Very cool. I absolutely love the way this looks. Would be great to see a longer game using this style. Lends itself to a nice creepy atmosphere.

Scared meh
WHATA TWIST（＊〇□〇）……！
The game has a green flash over it. It's unplayable like this.

very good game to me
The pixelated style is so well made, it looks really good. Short but entertaining game with a nice plot twist!
Very good game :D

Thanks for making this!
HERE'S THE VIDEO
This game was awesome, had a twist I was not expecting, and really haunting design in the sound and level. Well done, you should be proud.
Great atmosphere and a nice twist at the end. It was a nice experience!
A great example of how atmosphere and gameplay can convey a story far more effectively than reams of text disguised as dialogue.
