How does your game fit the theme?
The objective of the game is to escape through the locked basement door whilst avoiding a shadowy figure hunting you
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all of the code, however some assets did come from a pack

I really liked graphics and atmosphere! Once I was even scared by the surprise of the screamer mob. But the controls are inconvenient - the camera is too sharp. If you add more sounds, it will be cool.
I died in the first go... and is it me or did was i really short in the game. Good Job! Keep making games!
thank you, the game can be a bit tricky sometimes lol and yes the player is short as they are meant to be a child
i died as soon as open the door, in this game there should have good lighting, there is also bug in controls.
It is a horror game so the lighting is supposed to be dark, thank you for the feedback though
the atmosphere is spooky, but I did not run into anything. I just wandered around the house and nothing came after me. The character's proportion to the object around him is a little small, is the character a child? It would be nice to add ambient music in the background too to make it even spookier!
yes the character is a child, I’m shocked you didn’t see the figure while running around you must’ve hid that well haha, thank you for playing
I like the environment and the house setting, but i feel like the flashlight's range is a bit too short. I get that this was to make it more realistic, but most of the time you're looking at the floor or the walls since that's what's closest to you when you're walking down a hallway/across a room. You also can't see much when you're hiding since the flashlight's off and the only other thing lighting the house are candles, which don't help much. I think the monster was also stuck at the corner of the staircase where the wall ends, so I don't think it was chasing me around much.
But this game has a lot of potential to be really good. It's got the fundamentals, but just needs a few more tweaks to be a great game.
The low strength of the flashlight was intentional to add atmosphere, I’ve never had any issues with the monster chase so that sucks that it messed with your playthrough. Thank you for playing and for the feedback though!
Very creepy, ominous overtone! Well executed environment. I didn't run into anything spooky though.
Looks like you hid from the figure very well then, thank you for playing
I’m shocked you didn’t see the figure while searching for the key though
maybe I did it wrong, I hid under everything I could find. I was genuinely scared lo
haha yea the monster can’t chase you whilst hiding, I’m glad you got scared though and I appreciate you playing
Dont have the guts to finish. Well crafted atmosphere tho. Very nice
Nice horror game, but I couldn't find the key to the basement 😥
It was spooky! The audio is good, I legitimately ran for my life at first try, I think the enemy bugged out as it stopped coming after some death, but managed to find the two keys 👍
Great job on the atmosphere you created! Really gave me the creeps and works really well with the overall "what's behind the door" theme :)
Really cool, but im definetly not build for horror-games :)),
Id like if you'd also rate mine :)
It's a really good horror game, I got scared a bit sometimes. I like the graphics and the theme is horrorly fitting. It's a cool horror game, it's a cool game and it would be cool if you could also rate my game.
thank you for the feedback! I’ll rate yours after school today

Awesome game, the candles were a great way to keep me engaged in the house.
Interesting game though getting caught by the shadowy figure was underwhelming .
Amazing! Holy balls this is good! My friend got so scared he thought it was real but got self-diagnosed with schizophrenia! I hope this game wins!
I don't really like horror games but this was fun and interesting. I love the atmosphere, good job!
Amazing! This was terrifying to play D: !
I'm not that great with horror games, but I still had fun. You definitely crafted a good horror experience. The extremely dark house lit only by candles sets the mood. Then the footsteps which you can hear moving around, telling you that there's something else... it's super well done.
I like the game of hide and seek with the monster, and having to find a hidden key is great!
I think you really nailed this <3 I'll probably keep playing it so I can get over my fear of horror games hehe
Great work!
Couldn't play it, because in my two monitor setup the mouse goes crazy!
Sorry to hear that, you can change sensitivity in settings
will try to fix the problem onnmy end and get back to you with some comments!
