What do you like about your game?
I like how many new things I learned in order to pull this project off, especially since most of it was spent coding. I've always tried to avoid coding and after not developing games for over 3 years, I've never felt better with my choice to return to game dev.

fun game with a really good atmosphere going on! i love the auditory experience in this game from the ambient music to the random machinery sounds going off in the background! the pac-man creaking feels especially threatening,  i feel a lot of thought went into the audio and you nailed it! love the slightly noisy low res dark visuals that are going on here too, adds to the vibes a lot! though i agree with the fact that it was kind of hard to navigate and it would have been helpful to have some form of map or landmarks to make your way, it took me a while to get to the door at the end xd. overall, pretty fun game with a nice atmosphere, reminds me a bit of Dark Deception! great work!

Thank you for all the kind words and your dedication to completing the game! There's definitely a lot I could improve on and maybe I'll make an updated and polished version in the future. Thanks for playing!

I managed to get all the pellets, and then I got the prompt to return to the room, but everything looks the same and I wasnt able to find the room, so I just got bored and jumped straight into Pac-Man’s mouth to see what would happen. I understand that you didn’t want to put a map in the game, but at least you should have put some landmarks or signs or something to ‘triangulate’your position on the stage.

The graphics were good.

I was originally planning on that but never got to it. Thanks for playing

I love the first person pacman idea. I just not understand what to do. For what was the bathroom sink?

You have to collect all the cubes to escape. But the sink doesn't have any actual function, I just put it in for fun. Thanks for playing
