Hey! As you noticed I've added a funding goal to this project because I'm currently developing games on a pretty outdated setup — and it's definitely slowing things down.
If you're enjoying Don't Feed It or want to support my future game projects, consider donating to help me build a better PC. Every contribution, big or small, means the world and helps me keep creating.
Thanks so much for your support! <3

Gameplay:
Don't Feed It (2025)
A derelict house. The door is chained shut—there’s a gap in the floor. Something is calling to you from below. Your heart feels like it's about to explode with each passing day. You try to breathe, but it feels like you're running out of oxygen. The air smells of rot. You don't remember how long you've been here, only that you have one very specific purpose: FEED IT.
You have 10 days to complete your task, not counting the nights, of course. They told you to feed it during the day, not during the night. Nights are too terrifying.
Days are short here. You exist only to feed it...
DONT FEED IT is a game attempting to recreate the atmosphere of classic PSX horror games and visuals.
KEY FEATURES:
- Short horror experience (About 15 minutes)
- PSX / VHS visuals
- Designed for headphones & darkness
- One ending is not the end (5 in total)
- Inspired by analog horror and minimalist storytelling
CONTROLS
- WASD ~ Movement
- E ~ Interact
- Right Click ~ Zoom in
The game was made in 5 days.

This game inspired me to dig s hole and start feeding it oversized meatballs 10/10
Needs more meat though 👌
5 days? bruh
Can't open the game on mac :(
For such a short game, I really enjoyed this experience. The atmosphere and looping nature (which can easily fall flat) had be captivated and wondering what the deeper story, or metaphor was, behind this game.
A few things could have been improved such as volume levels, but overall a really neat game that I enjoyed playing and recording!
Thank you for your king words :)
No problem! I'll be sure to play any future games you produce and make videos on them!
The graphics in the game didnt load, so everything was pink ((
Neat atmosphere, but the jumpscare at the end is wayyy too loud
Thanks for playing :)
Made a video
Thanks for playing :)
Love the game, the vibe has a mysterious feel to it, reminded me of SCP-002
Thanks for playing :)
Living with an ancient pit of living flesh is like living with a drug addict. Random noises at night, your furniture disappearing and eventually you become part of it. 10/10 I'll play it again if the voices tell me to.
Thanks for playing :)
This was done really well, really enjoyed playing it! The times there were scares got me! I was not expecting that to happen when you dont feed it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trkdCGBiroI
Thanks for playing :)
Thanks for playing :)
Thanks for playing :)
Such an easy game to enjoy. Middlegame is strongest part imo, both sound design and visuals peaked there. I really enjoyed the gut-wrenching atmophere and themes of, i think, guilt feeding and overwhelming trauma or smth. Got total 3 outta 5 endings, looking forward to try other. Still stunned by the fact that game was done in 5 days! Amazing job
Thank you for your kind words :)
Didn't feed it to test a theory about what was actually
happening.
Very well done and creepy, though, even if I wasn't correct in my theory.
10/10
Thanks for playing :)
3/3 vídeos (desde 32:19).
Por alguna razón los Baker nos han alquilado su casa en Luisiana y tenemos que alimentar un agujero infecto con una bola de restos cárnicos supurante. Espera.. ¿Eso de la pared es megamiceta? ¿Y la que está en el bujero, Eveline? ¿Lo que suena de fondo es un epígono de Akira Yamaoka? WTF?! Es un juego MUY raro, pero tiene su punto.
Thanks for playing :)
Waiting for the next one!
It’s DFTM but it’s a game. 10/10.
i never even played-
Should I feed the flesh monster under the floor | Don't Feed It (flesh ending)
Thanks for playing :)
thanks for the dope game!!
anyone knows how to get all the endings?
You know a game has made me spook when I get invested and angry at it XD The elements of eerie were great, the small 'jumpscares' as you slowly belong to it are chef's kiss and I had to lower the volume so many times of my mic for the occasional screams XD loved it!
Thank you for your kind words :)
how to download with Linux also thanks for the sale
try running it through proton with steam.
Atmosphere was great, so creepy, keep up the good work!
Thanks for playing :)
Spooky meat man 0_0 love u guys thanks for considering <3
Thanks for playing :)
best horror game i ever seen
Thank you for your kind words :)
We need the apk of the game, if there is, I will make a small donation ❤️
Third in the line up at 30:15 it definitely has those weird vibes down. Its a simple choice. But so much odd to build on. I go for one ending... and leave the other four a mystery. Soild work CapCrow.
Thank you for your kind words :)
Congratulations to all the creators of this short horror game. I found two endings. I really liked this game. I'm giving it 5 stars. I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel, please. Thank you. Greetings from Spain!
Thank you for your kind words :)
The game doesnt work for MacOS after the game lounches everything goes pink and nothing happends pls fix
You're the first user to mention that. Sorry you're experiencing this. Did you try anything else?
Hi! Also on macOS. It looks like the current build is for Intel macs only. Macs from around 2020 onwards use Apple Sillicon (Apple's proprietary chip) and are usually not compatible with Intel builds. That might be the issue here.
Would love to play if you are able to upload a build for Apple Silicon! :)
Hi!, the game is also not running on an Intel mac. At least not mine.
it doesn't run on mine either :(
really eerie game, game me a bad feeling all the time, great work, this is my gameplay in spanish
Thanks for playing :)
This was a really eerie game and I love every second of it!
Thank you for your kind words :)
Thanks for playing :)
The game was very fun, both the visuals and sound created the exact unsetteling atmosphere I love in horror games! I only got 3 of the endings but will for sure come back to look for the other 2 :D
Thank you for your kind words :)
bro remove the got dang motion blur my stupid potato pc cant handle it:/
ok havent played yet but this seems very little shop of horrors core. will return when I'm done.
Well, I kept feeding it until I couldn't do so anymore.Night time feedings are recommended for optimal nutrient absorption.
Thanks for playing :)
Dont feed it!
Thanks for playing :)
Grotesque meat horror, with very fun visuals, this game tells a story whether you choose to follow its pattern or not. I think an alternate ending when choosing to feed would be appreciated, though overall a thought provoking horror game.

Thanks for playing :)
no problem thank you for sharing it to us
5.5/10, we liked the idea but the gameplay of doing the same task over and over waiting for a jumpscare is kinda old, maybe a bit more of details in the game would've made us to enjoy it a little more. We didnt feed it until it was night but nothing happened, kinda upset that even by trying to break the game "rules" nothing changed.
Overall its a pretty enjoyable horror game, gave us a couple of spooks!!
Keep up with the good work
=|';-)
Thanks for playing :)
