This was a really smart take on the paranormal investigation theme! When the doors started shaking I started getting actually stressed out haha. Besides reducing the delay of the report like others said, I think another interesting idea to explore would be having to manage all the doors instead of just one at a time. If you lose the game if all the doors have an unreported issue, that would definitely raise the tension. Overall this was a really solid game around the board, great work on this!

I'm taking my 5 minutes break to comment here, need to get back asap... It was fun, reminds me of Observation Duty! I almost died once and the shaking doors scare the hell out of me, but I like the uniqueness of the design, well done!
Game is cool, nothing much to say ; you should reduce the delay between the report and the answer, because it is really long to stay in front of the door, waiting the resident to be replaced.
Really fun game, I loved it! Being a delivery guy can be scary lol. I had a lot of fun reporting the doors but if I could make a suggestion, maybe add a report button, so I could report a room without having to go back to the middle every time. Other than that, excellent game!
The idea of the game is quite unique and fun. At first I was a little confused, but over time I got the hang of it. Congratulations for your work.
I was a little confused while playing but the idea was super cool and the game still felt unique and fun to play
Cool concept, I know were it took inspiration from. Though sometimes its confusing and report takes a little long. Overall, great job!
Game looks really nice, and works smoothly. Does feel a bit uneventful, nothing really ever happened as long as I followed the rules, and the waiting for the report thing to respond is kindda annoying. Other than that, awesome work!
Creepy a bit. I awaited some screamers, because of so quiet sound and dark.
Residents are cool-looking! Some of them are little bit rude )))
Shaking doors are nice. But nothing scary happens if you break the rules - that's strange.
So - nice short mysterious game! I liked it, for its atmosphere.
The premise was very good, I liked it very much. The game doesn't have an ending? I think I just went too far an broke the game. Loved the creepy vibe of the game.
Cool idea and overall good execution. I don't know if it was bugged or you just did not have the time to implement an ending state, but I was kind of disappointed when the count just went to -1. Cool little project overall, though.
game was very interesting unique concept. If we could move faster that would be great! Overall great job!
