Retro ps1 graphics horror and found footage VHS games have been becoming my favorite recently. Your game feels like a change of pace from the ones I tend to play which are strictly narrative, those ones are mostly walking and watching spooky events unfold. Your game was more like a maze game where I'm occasionally running from a fiend, which was a neat change of pace. Good job incorporating the aesthetic to make something different!

I like the aesthetics of 3D games from the late 1990s. The game has suspenseful atmosphere and the feel of nostalgic horror games. The map made the game much less confusing to play, but at first I didn't even realise there was a map. I also had some issues with the ghost appearing immediately behind me and ending the game. The user interface is really clean and well made. Great work!

Great job! I enjoyed the game's atmosphere; it reminds me of retro horror games that I love! I couldn't figure out how to run and had trouble finding more than four objects. I'll definitely do another playthrough so I can see the ghost creature!

The games leave a distinct and lasting impression. It’s terrifying to wander around this place. We didn’t figure out how to escape the walking thing… though :( The game tells us to run, but with WASD we can only walk. Hm… We had a technical issue when playing it in Safari - the mouse didn’t move the camera. Chrome worked well for that.

Thank you for your feedback.

Glad to know you have solved the issue playing in Safari.

Good concept for the game, I did feel that the player movement was slow. Perhaps it was my computer playing it in the browser, but it felt like the game had low fps. I still managed to get around though quite slowly. 

At some parts I did feel it was all kind of the same but the choice of audio is good too.

Thank you for your support and feedback!

This game is quite demanding especially on lower spec systems.

Cool game. Would you mind playing mine?

Made it to 70% or 80% a couple times, but then both times the ghost appeared immediately in front of me suddenly without any warning/audio interference.  Not sure whether there's something that can be done to avoid this? Is it related to the flashlight, maybe?

The graphics are nice, although the environment gets kinda samey. The audio is really good for ambience.  Very usable pause menu/settings and clear tutorialization, lots of polish in general.  A solid game overall.

I'll look into the issue that you are having. It might be related to the collision or the range between enemy position and player.

I really liked playing this! The vibe was good, and I liked the gameplay it was really engaging, but it would be better if you gave the player some hints at the start of gameplay incase he was confused. It would have been awesome if the flashlight and enemy had a mechanic but good job!
