Description
You are in Jackson Forest, living inside of an abandoned school bus. You have the feeling that you are not alone, as if someone is right next to you. Uncover the story behind what happened in the forest, and unveil the story behind The Watcher. Be careful, you never know when he's standing right behind you.
Announcement
We just wanted to say thank you to you all. For something that was made in roughly 48 hours, we had no idea that we would make a game that many people love, and that some would even make videos of. That blows our mind. Thank you to everyone who downloaded. Thank you for all the feedback you have given, and most of all, thank you for playing our game! With that said I do have an announcement. Due to the success of The Watcher, we have decided to not only put more time into it, but to re-create it to its full potential. You can expect there to be many differences, as if it is a completely different game. With 48 hours to make The Watcher, many of our ideas had to be thrown away just because of the amount of time we were given, but now we have no time restriction, and so we can make the game how it was originally meant to be. This game will be completed during the summer.
