Fun game. I liked how Kevin was introduced—it made me smile a bit. My only thing with it was the basement. Don't know if my brightness was too low, but my mouse locked onto the painting before I could see it. But other than that, it was a good ride. I'll be waiting for Selvema 2...
The use of sound in this game is really good and really creepy. I'd love to see a option to regain health slightly to avoid the continuous blur of being injured, or maybe lessen the blur to be able to read notes at least.
Appreciate the feedback! Just a heads up, the game already includes a health system with painkillers you can collect and use. The blur effect is intentional to encourage players to heal
Thanks a lot for playing, really glad you enjoyed it!
And yes… there are a lot of giant entities out there watching 👀 If you want to discover the full story, stay tuned… Selvema II – Carlos is coming, and it’s going to be even more fun.
Also, feel free to let me know what improvements or fixes you’d like to see, I’m always looking to make the game better.
Thank you for your comment :), respect the concept to hear others highlighting points about the game.
1- Are there any subtitle in the game? I can see it in the settings menu set to ON, I am guessing that is default Unreal setting menu and the game might be from the beginning has no plan to have subtitle. Mainly the voice from the radio needs subtitle as it is not clear (before they shout).
2- Taking damage from some ghost entities like the one guiding you to get inside the house, is there a meaning into it as story wise? I understand the concept when the demon possessing Laura get angry that from that time you will be attacked and lose health but the first 2 encounters are not clear why.
3- Not a big deal but little hint for people who might stuck at the beginning, wondering what make the game ticks and enable them to enter the house (What they should check other than the doors and somehow what order to get the best view of first ghost encounter).
4- Got stuck first time playing the game when got hit by the bed, I guess movement to certain way or running towards possessed Laura might not fall into that bug.
5- Notes in the game would be great to identify why and when the possession happened as it seems it is some kind of urban legend in the game universe, unless (I am guessing) it will be explained in Selvema II – Carlos.
6- In Kevin's bedroom, you already get the key before entering it, then inside after some events you get it again. Was there some plan to add a cinematic scene where you lost it but been excluded?
Fair enough, baked potatoes are definitely not the target audience 😂 Glad you gave it a try anyway… hopefully it was still a good scare! See you in Selvema II - Carlos
Ok this was a very well done horror game. This made me feel really uncomfortable at some points and the tension was awesome. Please keep making more games.
I’m glad you enjoyed the atmosphere. I’ve actually improved and smoothed out those triggering issues in the latest updates, so it should feel much better now.
Very scary game really loved the atmosphere. Now No idea what's going on lol so it's a scary goofy game. Loved when you get thrown a bed that was awesome and funny. The only issue I have is please put somewhere how to use keys. No where nor in any game have I used right click to select keys at a door. That's my only issue with the game. Anyways great job Devs.
I’m glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and jumpscares. And yeah, thanks to feedback like yours I’ve improved the pickup system and made the overall experience much smoother in the latest updates.
The amount that this game messes with your head is beautiful! The creepy background sounds made me feel like I was constantly in danger and the jumpscares really caught me by surprise lol... Also, the basement is a horrible place and should never be explored further.
I also really enjoyed that you had the monster eating spaghetti, before I came in XD
I made a Letsplay if you'd like to check it out :) and if you'd ever like a FREE voiceactor in the future, please reach out I'd love to help bring another one of your games to life!
Hi there! Thank you so much for the kind words.Sorry for the late reply, things have been busy behind the scenes because Selvema II: Carlos is officially on the way! Also, I’ve noted down your offer for voice acting. I’d love to chat when the time comes for a new project. Thanks for playing!
Hey Wenudu! Thanks for the response, no worries on the late reply :)
I'd love to chat when you start working on your newest project. I just started getting into the voiceacting scene, but I think we could create something awesome, together. You can contact me at this email, when the time comes bencollabs@gmail.com
Thanks again for reaching out and I'm very excited to play Selvema 2!!
Hi Dev! I was watching Caseoh play this on stream last night and I recognised the house layout. I wanted to ask where did you get the 3D asset for the house from? I just want to rebuild this in Sims 4 lol. Thank you and loved the game! <3
Well done on your game! This was a great experience overall. The atmosphere was really well done. There were some chunky bits in the beginning, and sometimes finding a key was confusing, but other than that I had a great time.
Thank you so much for the 5/5 rating! It was honestly super fun to watch you play with an AI companion,the chemistry was hilarious. It’s a pity about the AI's response delays at times, but it still made for a great watch!
Also, just a heads-up that Selvema II: Carlos is officially on the way. Thanks again for the support!
It means a lot to see long-time players still enjoying the journey. I'm really happy the atmosphere resonated with you. Thanks for the kind words and the awesome gameplay video!
This was awesome! the kind of tension and eeriness I love in these indie games. Great work! I love that there were a ton of pills we could colelct, guessing maybe for players that got hurt from entity, lol. Creepy atmosphere all arond. Hope to see more of the game hopefully, Did the ghost get us in the end? Were we taken into the unknown haha. See my playthrough here;
Bien sûr, ce n'est que mon impression personnelle en tant qu'anglophone, mais la description actuelle laisse entendre qu'un achat séparé est nécessaire pour recevoir chaque mise à jour après l'achat du jeu en un seul lot, ce qui pourrait inquiéter certains joueurs.
Me sorprendió bastante este juego. No es el típico horror lleno de sustos baratos, sino que va construyendo una tensión constante que se te mete en el cuerpo poco a poco. La atmósfera está súper lograda: el silencio, los espacios vacíos y esa sensación de que algo no está bien desde el primer momento.
El uso de la cámara le da un toque muy inmersivo, como si realmente estuvieras documentando algo que no deberías ver. A medida que avanzas, todo se vuelve más raro y perturbador de una forma muy sutil, lo que lo hace incluso más inquietante.
Si te gustan los juegos de terror psicológico que priorizan la exploración y el ambiente sobre la acción, este vale totalmente la pena.
A very creepy game, simple enough story, a great atmosphere and even with some big and affective jumpscares this game one of the best subtle scares i have had in a game. Very well done.
Thank you! I really appreciate you noticing the subtle scares, I put a lot of work into the atmosphere, so I’m glad it hit the mark for you.
Sorry for the late reply! I've been heads-down working on the next project, but I wanted to let you know that Selvema II: Carlos is coming soon. Thanks again for the support!
Thank you so much! I’m really happy to hear that you and your audience had a good time with the jumpscares.
Please accept my apologies for the late reply! I've been working hard because Selvema II: Carlos is officially coming soon. Thank you for the support and for sharing my game with your community!
I chose to stream your game at 4:40:00 I quite liked the atmosphere, and I love VHS style horror games! I liked what started off as a ghost hunting and some of the scares were nice! However, maybe there could've been some puzzles & maybe a chase at the end. It did feel like a key hunting game in the end. However, I did enjoy it for what it was.I am keen to see what more comes from you!
Thank you so much for playing and for the thoughtful feedback!
You’re absolutely right. I honestly didn’t expect the game to get so many downloads. It actually started as an abandoned project that I decided to finish, mainly because I had too many unfinished projects piling up. Somehow though, it still managed to create a strong atmosphere, which I’m really happy about.
That’s also why I’m already working on the sequel, Selvema II - Carlos. With this one, I want to expand the theme and make the experience more dynamic, with things like puzzles and more intense moments.
Thanks again for your feedback, it really means a lot to me!
really cool game bro! was this a full game or are you expanding on this?? Either way cool game bro. Ill follow you just to see what else you got brewin in the factory! Cheers homie!
Actually i made this game to be a free short horror walking simulator, nothing special and i honestly didn’t expect the game to get so many downloads. Somehow, it still managed to create a strong atmosphere, which I’m really happy about.

Muy bien ambientado, daba bastante mal rollo en todo momento
a bed got thrown at my forehead lol cool game
great atmosphere! I wish this game was longer, but still tense!
Really good game, like it a lot, and really like how the scary things looked, they moved so well!
Here's my gameplay of Selvema from my FRIGHT series, where I play 3 scary games. Shout out to you for allowing me to play windowed mode.
The use of sound in this game is really good and really creepy. I'd love to see a option to regain health slightly to avoid the continuous blur of being injured, or maybe lessen the blur to be able to read notes at least.
Appreciate the feedback! Just a heads up, the game already includes a health system with painkillers you can collect and use. The blur effect is intentional to encourage players to heal
Selvema may very well be the scariest horror character I've ever seen. I loved it!
Scary game 😊, has little adjustment here and there and would be great 👍.
Enjoyed playing it. Still wondering if there are huge monsters/entities looking at us while we inside the house 😂.
My review (as fan of this game) is included in the video.
Thanks a lot for playing, really glad you enjoyed it!
And yes… there are a lot of giant entities out there watching 👀

Feels like a real-life haunted house! Super creepy atmosphere and gorgeous visuals.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!
I’m glad the atmosphere and visuals worked the way I intended.
There might be more than just the house watching you… 👀
More of the story will be revealed in Selvema II – Carlos.
Absolutely fantastic! Enjoyed every minute of the game - it was awesome.
Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it!
It means a lot to hear you had a great time playing.
Things are only going to get worse in Selvema II – Carlos 👀
would not recommend for baked potatoes
Fair enough, baked potatoes are definitely not the target audience 😂
Glad you gave it a try anyway… hopefully it was still a good scare!
See you in Selvema II - Carlos
Selvema
Ok this was a very well done horror game. This made me feel really uncomfortable at some points and the tension was awesome. Please keep making more games.
Thank you so much, really glad it made you feel that way!
Creating that sense of tension and discomfort was exactly the goal.
I’ll definitely keep making more… and it’s only going to get worse 👀
See you in Selvema II - Carlos
Really enjoyed this one! Check out the new video
8/10 Atmosphere was perfect.. Sometimes triggering events was a little tricky, but for horror engine was really nice done!
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it!
I’m glad you enjoyed the atmosphere.
I’ve actually improved and smoothed out those triggering issues in the latest updates, so it should feel much better now.
Stay tuned… Selvema II – Carlos is coming 👀
Tried out your game!
Very scary game really loved the atmosphere. Now No idea what's going on lol so it's a scary goofy game. Loved when you get thrown a bed that was awesome and funny. The only issue I have is please put somewhere how to use keys. No where nor in any game have I used right click to select keys at a door. That's my only issue with the game. Anyways great job Devs.
That’s an old version of the game. Please make sure you’re using the latest version when recording a video, thank you.
Ahhh interesting you did add it. Sorry I streamed the game about a week ago so at that time the game wasn't updated. Glad to see you made the change.
Great game!
Atmosphere was perfect and jumpscares placed well.BUT I struggeld finding the keys and the pick up angle was very small.
looking forward to more
Thanks a lot, really appreciate the feedback!
I’m glad you enjoyed the atmosphere and jumpscares.
And yeah, thanks to feedback like yours I’ve improved the pickup system and made the overall experience much smoother in the latest updates.
More is coming… Selvema II – Carlos 👀
Glad you enjoyed it… and sorry about your toe 😂
Really happy you were hooked the whole time!
And yeah… she doesn’t exactly respect personal space.
More nightmares are coming in Selvema II – Carlos 👀
Legit one of the best games I played on this site, the scares are devastating and the story is pretty good too. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! And sorry for the late reply.
I’m really glad you enjoyed both the scares and the story.
More is coming soon… Selvema II – Carlos 👀
Eyyy, now I'm looking forward to something you got yourself a new follower <3
Hello Wenudu!
The amount that this game messes with your head is beautiful! The creepy background sounds made me feel like I was constantly in danger and the jumpscares really caught me by surprise lol... Also, the basement is a horrible place and should never be explored further.
I also really enjoyed that you had the monster eating spaghetti, before I came in XD

I played your game while testing out an AI Companion lol! Very scary game, btw :)
left a rating 5/5
Thank you so much for the 5/5 rating! It was honestly super fun to watch you play with an AI companion,the chemistry was hilarious. It’s a pity about the AI's response delays at times, but it still made for a great watch!
Also, just a heads-up that Selvema II: Carlos is officially on the way. Thanks again for the support!
haha yeah i tried to cut her delay times where i could without cutting parts of the game. thanks for watching!
Yoo I'm glad to hear about Selvema II: Carlos!! Good luck. Will be waiting to play that
10/10
It means a lot to see long-time players still enjoying the journey. I'm really happy the atmosphere resonated with you. Thanks for the kind words and the awesome gameplay video!
This was awesome! the kind of tension and eeriness I love in these indie games. Great work! I love that there were a ton of pills we could colelct, guessing maybe for players that got hurt from entity, lol. Creepy atmosphere all arond. Hope to see more of the game hopefully, Did the ghost get us in the end? Were we taken into the unknown haha. See my playthrough here;

WTF? I've read this translation twice now, but I still have no idea what you're trying to say. Is it just me, or is this really weirdly phrased?
