Start Survey? for Mac

Start Survey? for Mac is an innovative free horror game title for macOS, created from the ground up by Adam "PixelDough" Worrell during Haunted PS1's Horrifying Halloween game developer jam in 2019.



This “single button” game casts you as a survey manager who, while tediously answering mundane survey questions, begins to notice a hidden force that threatens to upend his reality.

Inspired by the eerie vibes of the “Twilight Zone,” the game’s minimalistic control scheme ensures that every macOS gamer experiences a genuinely spine-chilling adventure.

The core Start Survey for Mac gameplay is a straightforward point-and-click adventure. Navigate your environment by simply moving the mouse to look around, left-click to interact, right-click to zoom in, and use the scroll wheel to spin items.



The only keyboard control is “C,” which toggles the game’s visuals from grayscale to full color—though the developers strongly recommend experiencing the game in its haunting grayscale mode.

Controls:

• Mouse: Look
• Left Mouse Button (LMB): Interact
• Right Mouse Button (RMB): Zoom
• Scroll Wheel: Spin Item
• C: Toggle Color (Recommended in Grayscale)

Despite its brevity—completable in just 5 to 10 minutes—Start Survey? packs a memorable horror punch. While it doesn’t offer extensive replay value, its core horror elements are both effective and unforgettable, making it a fun, shareable experience.



Important Note: This game may scan your Mac for basic OS details (like your Username or device name) to ramp up the scare factor during tense in-game moments. If you plan to livestream your playthrough, be aware that this potentially personal information might appear publicly.

How to Install

To install Start Survey? on your macOS device, simply download the official macOS installer and follow the installation prompts. Originally developed for PC, this macOS port has been carefully adapted to deliver the same thrilling experience—currently available in Beta.
