Thanks for entering! I love abstract meta games and it seems like this is what you were going for. The text on the signs was very pixelated and difficult to read; I'd recommend a more legible font. The game is also super dark, obviously intentional, and was making me kind of dizzy as I tried to explore the space. Mouse sensitivity was also extremely low which made it difficult to turn around; I'd recommend bumping it up quite a bit.

First time playing, the game crashed when a monster touched me and I noticed a URL opened up on my browser to an article about missing teens. You seemed to whiteout most of the article making it not much to go on lorewise. I played through a second time and noticed the robotic voice said something different when going through the door. I'm not sure what I was supposed to do after that. I went through the door again and then the door didn't seem to be interactive anymore, and I was just stuck in a dark space.

Pretty cool entry with some creepy imagery. Not a lot for me to rate though since the experience was so brief, and there wasn't much story to go on. Please let me know if I missed something.

kinda see what you were going for, but it kept crashing so I couldn't fully experience the whole thing. Cool concept though!

I'd appreciate it if you could rate my game as well! :)

I would check files on my computer when that happens

This is the only place i will break character

This is more of a horror experience than a game. It knows it’s a computer program and it will mess with your computer. Don’t worry. If you want the full story, you will need to do some investigation. Some of the immersion is broken because i have no time to create a splash screen for example, but it’s 5am as i’m writing this.

There are no jumpscares.
