Spectral Filter

Made a video on Spectral Filter 

Nice Work =)

Great game. Very good atmosphere with an amazing sound desing. Hope you release new game soon.

Here is a gameplay (Spanish). Hope you like it!

I liked it! I thought it was a really eerie and tense experience.

10/10 atmosphere, that was great! Made it feel like the player is never truly alone in there, really awesome sound design. Really cool concept, would love to play a bigger scale version of this. And uhh please ignore the fact that I fully just walked into the clearly dangerous ghost XD

Thoroughly enjoyed this horror game. It has an unsettling atmosphere, as you wander thorough the place to check on a deceased worker's body. Something is definitely there with you. And yes, you can get turned around a few times! Good game concept. 

Leider eher ein lahmer Wakingsimulator.

This game had me freaked out the entire time... wish it was longer!

Really cool game. I was on edge the whole time

Bisher eines der atmosphärischsten kostenlosen Horrospiele die ich je gespielt habe. Die Grafik, der subtile Horror, das Sounddesign und die simple art und weise wie Unbehagen erzeugt wird, war großartig. Ich könnte mir basierend auf diesem Spiel eine ausgereifte Version gut vorstellen, welche die näher die Welt erklärt, was wir in dieser kurzen Version erfahren durften.

Auch die Tatsache, dass sich die Sicht sich zunehmend verschlechter, auch wenn es wirklich marginal war, beweist mir, dass hier nochmal extra Steps gegangen wurden, um die richtige Atmosphäre zu erzeugen.

Das Ende war kryptisch, aber genau das mochte ich, es war klar und gut verständlich was zu tun ist, allerdings mit gerade genug Infos, dass wir uns selbst den Horror in unseren Köpfen durch die Umgebung und Umstände machen durften.

Ich würde mir wünschen, mehr davon zu sehen.

Einziges Manko: Es war tatsächlich stellenweise zu einfach und zu wenig los. Ich weiß nicht woran es lag, aber tatsächlich haben mich die Geister einfach ignoriert obwohl ich das Licht an hatte und in Sichtweite war.

This was a great experience! The tension was thick and the atmosphere was amazing, so was the music! I'm amazed this was created by a tiny team. I loved every second! I recommend completely!

Great atmosphere, very uneasy environment. Liked it a lot even if doesn't have jump scares.

Amazing game with insane potential. I just don't like how easy it actually was. I am saying this because I saw a "monster" once, in which case I just walked next to it. However, very good game with creepy atmosphere.

The downsides I will say that the game communicated poorly what must be done. I did find it fun to find the body, but I did not realise I had not turned the power on even after interacting with the body till I saw someone else's playthrough of the game. Also as fun as it was to find the body, I feel like there should have been more indicators or more of a story with notes or objects and items that alluded to why the person was killed there and slowly leading the player there.

The ghosts coming in after the power was turned on again was really great! Though it was slightly annoying as the game put the player back all the way at the start.

But those are just how I felt, you still did a great jpb integrating the music with the game and making it such a spooky and great experience! Good luck with any future projects!

Spectral Filter is an exceptional game that took two months to develop. With a perfect blend of tension and creepiness, the game manages to captivate players without ever crossing the line. One of the most impressive aspects of the game is its ability to convey a sense of unease through environmental storytelling. It's evident that TheSchaeff is a talented developer worth keeping an eye on. It's exciting to think about what else he could accomplish with more time and resources at his disposal. I wholeheartedly recommend this game to anyone looking for an immersive and thrilling gaming experience.

I decided to check how it runs on Steam Deck and you can see my no commentary walkthrough by pressing the link below:

I ran into a very interesting bug in this. The door interact icon wouldn't appear. Which admittedly became very frustrating during my playthrough. Aside from that, I really enjoyed this. I want more of it. It's super creepy, and I could see this being developed into a longer game with more tasks during the cleansing process, and a bigger world to explore. I think it would be really fun. Thanks for putting this out into the world. 

I like the plot even though I didn't fully understand it. The sounds were creeping me out the entire time and I love the fact that I saw the "ghost" in the distance but it didnt chase me, very creepy . Overall it s a good horror game but I dont know why I died at the end .

I felt all the scary feelings your supposed to feel playing this horror game. The atmosphere was crazy. Not a Sigle jump scare but still a damn good horror game. 

Here's My gameplay:

The feeling of dread throughout this game had me hooked.  What's around the corners... what's knocking on the walls... a ton of fun and the graphics are really well done!

creepy game but was unable to finish it cause i didn't find a flashlight and didn't find the body at all so 

Genuinely one of the most atmospheric games i've played on Itch. Great concept as well. Awesome stuff ! 

This was legit so scary I wanted to just turn the game off haha 

I loved this game! It was so pretty but once you stepped in it was a completely different vibe. The red lights and sounds just created this uneasy atmosphere that I absolutely loved! 

This game was TERRIFYING!!! And no jumpscares which is IMPRESSIVE!!! Great job on this game!!!

VERY spooky vibes, I loved the atmosphere and sounds!

This was downright terrifying and I loved it!

Nice game with an eerie atmosphere

Spectral Filter is a spine-chilling horror game that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
The game's eerie atmosphere, beautiful lighting, and set design work together to create an immersive experience. The out-of-place sounds added an extra layer of spookiness that I got spooked by every time xD.
However, the rooms were a bit too similar, and it would have been great if the fantastic lighting from the start was used a bit more.
Also, I got lost quite a few times, which made me backtrack quite a lot, but that could've been just me ^^.
Overall, if you're looking for a pretty fun and spooky horror experience, Spectral Filter is definitely worth checking out.

Beautiful game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the way the tension builds and then the peacefulness after the filter finishes. Really well done.

This game was genuinely scary to me. I could barely explore without being afraid of what I might find hiding in the dark. VERY GREAT GAME!

The atmosphere and overall look of this game is absolutely beautiful and amazing! I loved every bit of this game!

Very cool game, keep it up! The atmosphere/bg sounds scared me the most
