HE KNOCKS
A downloadable game for Windows
HE KNOCKS
Something is knocking at your cabin door.
In the tundra, nothing should knock.
You are alone in the frozen wilderness. Hunting was supposed to be simple — survive the cold, gather firewood, cook meat, endure the silence.
But the moose watching you from the treeline is not behaving like an animal.
Gameplay
- Survival system (chop wood, cook meat, hunt)
- Unpredictable moose intelligence
- Terrifying psychological events
- Short, intense, fear-driven gameplay
Story
You play as a lone hunter who escaped society, fleeing the grip of Neurovast Corporation. This company devours everything—entire industries, and even people themselves. The hero realized early that society was doomed and retreated into the tundra. But even here, Neurovast’s experiments continue to hunt him.

If you do not follow a precise use of items, the game bugs and you can't finish. It is rare that a game is this problematic, and I am surprised how many bugs still exist.
Creepy little game, loved it!
What a game Dev, I'm one of the brazilians that played this game. It was my frist Indie game that I've played on my YT channel, the story is good, the dark atmosphere provides a moment of terror for the player. I've only foud a bug on the game, while I was cooking the meat, I could'nt sleep after picking up the axe.
Got stuck a few times on what to do but got there eventually. Great game.
Different than what I was expecting, but still good! I am personally horrified anytime someone unannounced knocks on my door IRL so I knew this would give me goosebumps. Very nice! My gameplay:
This was really good ! Great atmosphere. Very good story, cool monster. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing !! :)
Never can I say I've been hunted by a moose or any animal in a horror game. LOL. I enjoyed the playthrough and definitely would recommend this game!
Unique story, interesting mechanics, a bit of a slow burn, but definitely tense - solid work!
I really liked this. From the start, I thought the game would go towards a different direction. but I loved the approach. The sound design and overall look was decent. Highly recommend this - well I actually I did to many people, who made comments in here so yeah.
Best of luck with the future games friend! I'm a fan and a follower. Cheers!
Hey friend! thanks a lot for the comment Really glad you liked the game and how everything was done. Right now I am working on a new game that should be way better than my previous projects Thanks for following my work :3 Cheers!
Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
What a solid game this was! Quite a good premise for sure and great execution. I did end up cutting down almost every single tree before the fire went out xD. The fact that you can do that is superb. Overall, solid little game. Made a video on it.
Hi! Sorry for the late reply Thanks for the really cool video glad you liked the game :3
Great video good luck with your channel bro :)
Hello! I chose to add your game for todays 3 Random Horrors! Your game is at 41:29.
It was a bit slow to begin with as it was just chopping wood & hunting moose for meat. But it did get better, when that big Moose/skin walker started appearing and it did get scary then. Great jumpscare at the end! I did have great fun with this game. I did wish for more context on this neurovast experiment things like, did be do this?
My only complaint was, there were a lot of invisible barriers & especially at the 1st killing the moose, I think I got all, but one died beyond the invisible barriers,but I could not get it.
Thanks for the experience! I hope to see more games from you!
Thanks a lot for the video! It was really interesting to watch :3 Thanks for leaving a comment too. Im planning to make more games soon, and next ones wont have those kinds of barriers everything will look much nicer. Thanks for following my games! Good luck with your videos youre doing great.
Sweet! Hope you enjoyed! Please do leave a comment & sub. I hope to see more games!
Olá iamderlencer! O clima vai ficando tenso e inquietante a cada dia que passa. O silêncio constante aumenta a sensação de que algo pode surgir a qualquer momento.:O Excelente game. 5 estrelas!
Thanks a lot for the video man! I was really looking forward to seeing one from you and it turned out awesome. I appreciate you still keeping up with me this game was more like a warm-up after a long break but Im really glad you enjoyed it!
Keep going the way you are youre doing great. Thanks again for the video and everything you do :3
spooky
Yo! Thanks a lot for the video really appreciate it. If you dont mind could you give the game a rating :3
Valeu demais pelo vídeo! Se não for incômodo, dá uma nota pro jogo.
Amazing :)
Thanks so much for the video! It’s really cool. :)
This is one of the worst games i've played on here. I was going to make a video on it but it was 50 minutes of nothing.
The game states that all actions must be completed within about 10 minutes of game time. I don’t understand what’s unclear here. Can you tell me exactly what point it’s unclear?
Where does it say that?
My experience was chopping a bunch of wood and staring at a furnace for 15 minutes before my character said "ok thats enough wood"
Then i killed and harvested all the moose and stared at the furnace AGAIN for 15 minutes
Then it told me i needed fresh air and walked around outside doing laps of the house until the furnace died because i wasn't allowed to chop more wood.
It’s really weird. During the walk, after leaving the house, there should have been a dialogue sequence about the player noticing tracks. In other levels, literally two trees and one moose carcass are enough. I’ll check later what’s wrong with that level. I apologize for this.
The first time i played i cut down 90% of the trees before losing cause i forgot to add more fuel (after having added like 40 logs).
When going for the walk i did concentric circles so i cant imagine i missed something.
Nice!
Thanks so much for the video! If you don’t mind, please rate the game :3
No problem!
