A very polished and scary little game. Well done.

I absolutely loved this game. I am a horror game fan so any game that can give me a good scare like that I truly enjoy. Not many can. Amazing job I wish it was longer :)

I experience some bugs, but the overall i really liked the tension (PT fan? lol)

Kept me on my toes the whole time. Started sweating immediately. Well made! The audio kept jump scaring me and I didn't like the way that puppet thing was looking at me.

You had a really great build-up of tension and release in the game, very well done. I think really you understand what makes for great content in a horror game and it shows here. The various sounds that play at the doors were immersive and added to the atmosphere and how you were managing it. I liked being left to wonder what was happening behind those closed doors. I especially liked when you used a spotlight from behind an armature to cast a larger shadow. The human-sized armature running at you was really scary the first time but after realizing it couldn't hurt you the subsequent encounters fell flat. I think saving it exclusively for the end would have left the player on a really high note and still be in the theme.

This game advertises itself as a horror game - and delivers, on every level. Creepy, frightening, and very well made. I have a relatively strong machine, yet the 4th-5th round started lagging, but other than that, this worked perfectly!

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked the game ^^ I for sure will look into performance better from now on.
