Be Honest
Description
Be Honest is a Horror Personality Quiz. It starts out normal, and gets very creepy. It plays in 10-30 minutes depending on how fast you answer the questions, and it has no jumpscares.
I recommend downloading the windows build if you can, there are some features which don't work on the web!
We're also making a remastered version of this for steam, coming soon! Please give it a wishlist if you're interested, it helps tell steam that we're worth showing to more folks, plus you'll get an email when it goes on sale. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2952040/Be_Honest/
Music
The Spookfish made the music and sound effects, you should follow him too!
He also uploaded the OST here, if you want to listen to the full track.

HEY I DIDNT GET A TOY T_T /j
OH GOD I LOVE THESE TYPE OF GAMES!
I remember I played survey games before and I LOVED it so when I got in the mood for survey horror I tried looking up and woah I just realized you've made a lot! I'll try to check them out one by one :D
no me being terrified the whole time just to get lego
i love owls so I ended up getting "friend!" as a result anyways lol
help this is scarily confusing and i love it
this game is scaring the shit out of me why doesn't he has eyes
its midnight and im so scared why did i do this to mysel
Accidentely skipped eye color so now I have no eyes :)
oh so they're waiting for the right time when Y/N will be all alone huh... very nice game. i like. 5 stars.
I'm a sucker for horror personality quiz games because they're not very common and this is definitely one of the good ones. Very creepy stuff, really enjoyed it.
what I can piece together of the lore (this is just my interpretation!): The "person" asking you this questions is some kind of demonic fallen angel, and it wants to steal people's eyes. It is judging how good a candidate you are for it to prey on you. There seems like there's more hidden lore, but I can't find everything... time to play through it again :)
given the "spoilsport" result if you don't answer, I believe that the entity is twisted and evil (obviously) and enjoys asking you these questions, regarding your fear as some kind of game to them.
Honestly, I think the entity is a fairy associated with owls and wants to kidnap the player. In "See you in x" and "Spoilsport" feature a fae-like entity. Taking eyes seem very fae-like to me. The "Candidate" and "See you in x" implies that the entity is planning to kidnap/indoctrinate the player and using the quiz to scout out their next victim. "Spoilsport" also implies that the entity also views the quiz as some sort of game which falls in line with the fact that fairies are also depicted as having different morals than humans.
that's interesting. I like that idea, but there's also the "I am"-"angels are" and a few other references that make me think that the entity is a fallen angel-like creature, but I also like the fae theory. And associating it with owls makes a lot of sense, because 1) Owls have large eyes and good vision, which would tie into the whole "stealing your eyes" thing 2) There are a few pictures next to the quiz with owls. I like your theory!
Another thing I noticed: There is an ending called "Friend". I was aware of it at the time(because of the credits) but I haven't actually seen the ending screen. Someone else in the comments got that ending and it said that the entity is planning to transform the player. The existence of the "Friend" implies that there is a difference between it and "Candidate".
Do you know how to get it?
Update: I got it! :D I think you get it by answering a good amount of questions the way the entity wants you to, and you have to say you like owls.
There's also a "Lego" ending, which is the only actual toy you can get. I wonder if that has significance?
WAIT
WHAT IF
IT IS AN OWL
I WAITED REALLY LONG AND ONE OF THE QUESTIONS CHANGED
maybe there's more lore we can find?
fun but definitely had jump scares
