Hey man! Very nice ! Playing from my phone, interesting gameplay ! But it is difficult to shoot opposum xd

that was an amazing game with a really good plot twist ! such a shame my controller wasn't compatible with it

Have to give credit where credit is due...This was deeply unsettling and reminded me of how games use to really look as a child on my Game Boy. You sir, did EXCELLENT! I love the game! Keep it up!

Fun little game, I did not see that "twist" coming

This was an interesting concept! Third game featured in my video here:

This was a cool game!

As someone who had opposum since they were babies.... I didn't want to hurt them. I'm glad I failed the shots.

Great game

lol, this reminds me when i helped my pops at the gas station at night, one time 3 opossum's broke in, funnest experience of mah life

This was fun. Inspired me a bit.

Wow, this game was crazy! I enjoyed it, loved the uniqueness of the story. I work the night shift and when I drive home from work, I'll see an opossum every once in a while and think of this game, lol.

Opossum Country – Retro Horror Game Where Something's Living Inside These People… And It Has Claws

Not quite scary but it gives me Goosebumps ngl.
I'm bad at aiming those rats.
Interesting Game!

Short enjoyable game! Even philosophical! 

(+2)

great game! Felt it was too short but I guess that just another way of saying I want more! Bear it and got all retro achievements! Super fun, love the creepy characters too!

(+2)

If you want more, I'd suggest checking out my Metamorphosis Collection https://benjelter.itch.io/metamorphosis-collection

It's a 3 pack of horror games including Opossum Country! Each one is longer than the last. Opossum Country is the smallest one and Specimen 134 is by far the biggest.
