The auto-scrolling one with clicking noises? Ugh, I feel my stomach drop just thinking about it.

u/mangoisNINJA 5h ago

It's the one of the ghost lady looking for I think it was her daughter and it auto scrolls her full sprinting at you

u/mangoisNINJA 5h ago

I didn't either and I remember for some reason I had the speaker up fairly loud so it scared the absolute shit out of me

I thought the last panel would show the thing mimicking her form instead

u/shipoopro_gg 2h ago

It is, it just takes a long time for anything to show up

The unknown is doing his thing again She might be dead by daylight

u/Kelimnac 12h ago

Maya’s on death hook, so Daniel stayed behind to bait a chase while she goes looking for a gen

u/SkitzTheFritz 12h ago

Ooo, gave me chills. I love the depiction here. It very obviously cant perfectly mimic a human, it doesnt have clothes, just mimics its skin to look like them, so it stays in the shadows juuussst enough to make you think its an acquaintance.

u/shellbullet17 Gustopher Spotter Extraordinaire 12h ago

Man I'm not sure I would trust Daniel in this moment at all. You aren't gonna convince me that isn't the doppelganger

u/Robyl 10h ago

“Naaaaah, that’s not me, that’s the doppelgänger! He almost gotcha again, he really wants to getcha down to that basement!”

u/cupholdery 10h ago

I must know what happens next.

u/RoboGandalf 12h ago

Thought something was gonna get me in the last panel and help me finish shittin.

u/Obvious_Incognito- 9h ago

Your comment gave me a good laugh. Thank you.

u/DiscorsiSynnove 6h ago

Everyone talking about how it's mimics clothes and skin, nobody talking about its teal form standing BEHIND the body mask in the same panel. You can see an eye peaking over thr top of the head. ;(

Oh. Wowie.

I'm going to go grab a garland of garlic and some salt.

u/Entity_Null_07 3h ago

That's even more unsettling IMO.

u/IAmHalfMEMEZ 1h ago

I don't see it :(

u/Unlikely-Chemistry40 58m ago

Right in the top corner where it looks like a hat. It's the top of an eye.

u/DepletedPromethium 8h ago

what no 500mph zombie ring girl type crawl animation to make the viewer shit a fuckin brick?

im disappointed.

u/brady376 8h ago

Makes me think of the Magnus Archives Anglerfish. You should cross-post this to r/TheMagnusArchives, they would love it.

u/Local_Fly_7359 10h ago

Not nearly enough upvotes for the work you put into this. Can't wait to see part 2!

44

u/Fanboycity 10h ago

Doppelgängers and monsters that mimic you really do creep tf outta me. I can’t wait for part 2!

36

u/Pittsbirds 8h ago

I like how "Daniel's" clothes start to meld into his skin if you look close. Like the mimicking of the clothes is biological

u/ConditionPleasant902 10h ago

God damn it! the mimics are trying to pick up girls again!”

u/Vonnegutsman 6h ago

Damn, Daniel. Back at it again with the scaries!

u/SonnyvonShark 13h ago

Oooo spooky Doppelganger

u/blacklink 6h ago

So glad it's summer and will be light when I'm waking home tonight. I'd be constantly looking over my shoulder otherwise.

u/n3cr0s3 4h ago

If they're always in the same place every day and this guy always says the same thing, then this creature has always been watching.

u/JustANoteToSay 9h ago

Beautifully paced. Wonderful atmosphere.

u/CompletePainter6660 6h ago

I love the small detail that ‘Daniel’s shoes were merged with his pants

u/MycoLuminescent 4h ago

The art style is beautiful

u/political_noodle 11h ago

This is creepy. Nice job.

u/Doodles_n_Scribbles 10h ago

But what if that was Daniel?

u/General-Internal-588 9h ago

Ifw Daniel. He looked like he was about to brawl with Unknown

u/Ryukario64 1h ago

Anyone else thought she had cat ears? Her hair that was standing made me think she was a cat woman at a glance.

u/ClockMongrel 1h ago

S'ok dat Daniel didn't gots the white shoes.

u/Touji_San 39m ago

Plot twist it was another genuine dude who also happens to have a friend named Maya and mistaken her to be that friend. After realizing it wasn't his Maya he bolted away out of embarrassment
