Really interesting concept. I loved the graphics and the story, Maybe just a picky comment but it would be nice to be more interactive.  I understand the idea is to be paralyzed but only left clicking is not that exciting jeje. It kind of remind my of the hounting of hill house and victoria pedretti's character.

Overall really amazing game!

Well done! This was a neat concept with some genuine horror behind it. The art looked great overall, and the sound effect had a nice chilling effect. I also liked the tilted, unnatural camera angle used to make the player feel trapped. The quick-time events were neat, but I would have liked to see the concept expanded on a little further. Overall, this game has a great atmosphere that gave me goosebumps and a great time!

That's such a great idea ! I would love to see it further developed ! The idea of forcing the player to face the dangers is awesome ! And sleep paralysis is a perfect justification for that !

Great job :D

Developer

Thank you!

Scariest game I've played in this jam! Fantastic soundscape, especially the use of stereo--I REALLY wanted to be able to look to the left! I love the idea of using sleep paralysis as a basis for a horror game. I guess my only issue is that it seemed really easy to get to the good ending.

horror game really relies on the mood and atmosphere, you nailed it on the visual and audio. And the introduction of different audio and weird creatures really make it horrifying.

For the visual: I would recommend adding some flickering visual, such as a flickering ceiling light or table lamb. The weather maybe rainy and sometimes thunder come out. frightening  creatures can be added between the short time of lighting.

For the audio: I would really suggest an ambience sound (room tone) and other sound effects can be added to further build up the horror vibe. You can always hear those hollow and windy atmosphere sound continues to exist in the horror movie. Sometimes laughing sound, metal, high pitched, glass broken sound can build up the tension further more. These kind of technique would be kind of canned effect and stereotype, but it really produce instant effect within limited production time.

Developer

Really appreciate the feedback :D  and thank youu so much for playing!!

Creepy game with nice graphics. I think you interpreted the theme very well with it being a horror game with hallucinations. I enjoyed it.

cool game i liked the camera angle,the ascetic really fit the mood of the game , ok but it is to scary for me I only got one play trough and I had to call someone in the room to watch me play as soon as I heard the ring or was it the grunge throat sound. I can't do horror like this any more, you got the theme right !!! now all i need to do is convince myself IT IS NOT REAL !!!

Developer

Haha thank you for still playing our game XD !!

Great horror game! The graphics, sound design, UX etc. all worked together really well :D

That said, I have a few little pieces of feedback

1) Given that the game has multiple endings, it's clearly meant to be replayable. However, the amount of time it takes for the dialogue to complete showing on the screen so the player can move on gets kind of annoying after a while and ruins the replayability. Consider changing that. 

2) Some of the words were misspelt (tbf this is really nitpicky and a really minor issue, but you asked for feedback so here you go lol)

Like I said, technically, it's nearly flawless, and the whole vibe you created by combining the sound design with the artstyle feels really unique. Excited to see where you take this in the future. Good job!
