How does you game fit the theme?
The game talks about a boy who's having trouble sleeping and thinks he has Insomnia because of his nightmares and lack of sleep, you play through one of his nightmares where he has to escape the ghost, solve a little puzzle, obtain the key to his parents room and escape. The plot twist is that the boy actually does not have parents and he is in an orphanage. It is not real, the dream wasn't real, his parents weren't real. There's also a few things in the game that follow the theme of "it is not real".
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
The code is completely written from scratch. The assets are from kenny.nl using their software "Asset Forge" which I paid for and used to create brand new assets and design my level. The audio was provided by a fellow audio engineering student. Everything is credited in the credits menu.

What a pity that there is no anril and I will not be able to play (.
That was really scary to play in a dark room. Good job with the environment.
I enjoy horror games and this does a good job at creating a spooky feeling. The comic panels are a really nice touch too! It's rare to see horror explored in non-horror themed game jams :)
You've managed to send the spooky vibes very well. And I absolutely love the comic storyline at the begging of the game. Although, I had an issue with the game which was most jarring and that is the V-sync was off. Not sure how that happened, but definitely made my eyes hurt. Other than that, really, a really nicely done game!
Super spooky! I love that you drew that whole hand-drawn intro comic, plus stuff like how small you are compared to the furniture, and I was definitely running and hiding when that monster came out. I guess my only real criticism is that the number puzzle didn't have much direction--I knew I was trying to get the key but I would not have caught on that I was trying to find a numerical code.
Yeah, definitely! Thank you so much for playing
Nice game
I liked it
I really liked the game,
The intro cutscene is great,
the first time I saw the ghost rushing towards me was a nice spook
I got soft locked when hiding in the fridge which had me having to restart the game, but overall pretty nice, storytelling and gameplay,
the minimalistic 3D graphics work well ,
Great game, good job!
