very enjoyable
it don't work
A suspenseful and creepy yet, thrilling game. I died a couple times like 2-4 but i managed to win at some point.
Looks amazing even did a video on it
Also im decent at unreal engine i was wondering if i can remake this game on unreal engine 4Please, more. We need more
Brilliant. great atmosphere.
Honestly siren noises/ emergency broadcast noises have always been such a fear to me(yet I find them interesting), what a great little exploration of that.
Very suspenseful game. The sound that was added really helped create a scary vibe, like the impending footsteps and siren noises. Great job!
. Всем привет, я из России и мне очень понравилась эта игра , надеюсь будет продолжение) Кто хочет посмотреть мой видос вот ссылка:
Всем приКакое классное видео! Автор даже не удосужился посмотреть управление, что уж говорить о тормозах на видео, игры которой проходиться за 3 минуты. Мои поздравления!
P.S: Я всё недоумевал, как можно пройти игру за одиннадцать минуть, хотя игра в худшем случае проходится за 5...
This game really put me on edge starting from the beginning, would love to to see a longer version of this game.
This needs to be made into a console game but with more story!😋👍🏻 good job dude and keep going!
jhhjh
ba
Super cool! It felt like a fun mix between classic horror and adventure cryptozoology. The style really added something to it, too. The graphics just leave more to the imagination, which makes it all the scarier :D
how can i play game??

I enjoyed this! Short and sweet and loved Siren Head's look and the audio! Could there be more to come from Siren Head?

Nice!!! Enjoyed this short a lot! 80's vibes :)
Finally got to play this game, have been wanting to for a while. It's part of a multi game video starting at 13:39! I really love this game. It's short in length but there is no shortage of weird and creepy!
This game was wayy more fun than it should be!
im on a gaming laptop and my fps is locked at 30. why?
I just saw some content like Siren Head is SCP -6789 i guess it not make sense so many creature got stolen by scp commu so i'll record this game and help to shove real detail this creature.
Short and amazing! I made a small video on it, here's the link!

Hi. Someone on Reddit mentioned the Siren Head character which I'd never heard of and it sounded intriguing, so I typed it into Google and came across your game via a YouTube video. It looks super creepy and it would be awesome to play it, but the Mac download doesn't work.
When I open the zip file, I get a txt file which is normal but when I try and open the file with the icon, it says it can't open the application.
I've tried this both with the normal download and the redownload it suggests.
Hi. This is Apple's fault, actually. I'm on the latest MacOS Catalina and it works fine here, but you have to mark the launcher inside the .app's content folder as an executable. In latest versions of MacOS, when you download unknown binaries from the internet, the OS marks the launcher of this application as non-executable. To make it work, after you extract the .zip file, right-click on the .app file > show package contents, then open a terminal inside its Contents/MacOS folder. Then, type "chmod +x Siren\ Head\ v1.0" . Go back to the .app file and you can now open it normally.
Wow thank you for pointing this out. I had no idea what was causing it. Thanks for making things easy Apple 😐
No problem. I was also puzzled by this at first. I mean, it makes some sense when you think about security and all, but it's annoying nonetheless.
I opened a New Terminal At Folder on the MacOS folder and typed in verbatim what you wrote along with a bunch of variations in case I misunderstood (using v1.1 instead of v1.0 because that's the version I have) but Terminal kept telling me "No such file or directory".
It has to be the folder "inside" the .app file. See, each .app file in MacOS has a "content folder" inside it. Maybe you're in the wrong directory. You have to right-click the .app file after the .zip file was extracted and select "show package contents". Then, inside this folder, open a terminal inside its Contents/MacOS folder. To confirm you're inside the right .app folder, use the command "pwd". You should get something like:
/Users/<username>/Downloads/Siren Head.app/Contents/MacOS.
If you're somewhere else, it should not work.
That's what I did. It was on the MacOS folder inside the package contents of the application.
There actually was a mod out for a while. Not much - but it's something.
is it possible it will be available for android?
Eh. Wasn't really feeling this one. I was playing it without sound, so that might have something to do with it, but otherwise I just really didn't like it as much as I wanted to.
It's really short, and the fact I can run back to my car before the monster starts chasing me shows how predictable it is.
Then again, I was playing casually without sound, so that could have spoiled everything...
Short and creepy. That creature was well done, slow but relentless. Be good to see a longer more developed version.
good game
really liked it
Very well put together but, could've had a better setting/map (maybe have it a tad bit later at night?). I really like the idea but this was a very short game (I've made the same mistake before in all honesty). The atmosphere was there but the gameplay wasnt. Don't be afraid to expand on what you have. overall You did a great job!
Simple and short horror game, nice fitting eerie and creepy atmosphere and jesus Siren Head gave me the creeps just because of him speaking into the speakerphone overall it was a great simple horror game
LOVED IT! You seriously need a higher production of this idea... its terrifying. All these sounds... screams... and the channels that he's changing to... sounds like the souls of everyone it's killled...
NEED MOOREEE!!
It keeps downloading as a zip file and i can't play it
Here's an explanation with classical music for ya:
tldw: extract the zip
