At first I assumed this was a Slenderman clone, but the void mechanic is pretty intersting. Also these shelved made me feel like I'm 4 feet tall (maybe I am).
You took Slenderman and moved him to the backrooms huh? I had to admit I was a little curious what I'd need the voidwall for, and then I saw HIM. This is a good idea and a competent execution of it. Also really really appreciate the fact that you didn't go with the common horror trope of the main character being slow and tired. That would have significantly made the experience worse. Thanks for the play!
Yeah, as I got the idea for having sticky notes I couldn't get the idea of that Slenderman game out of my head so I added an office manager that's reminiscent of him that wanders around. I really appreciate the feedback and that you took the time to play it!
Nice job! The overall atmosphere is very good (though a little scary :D ) and surprisingly good graphics for something that runs in the browser! I really liked this void wall mechanics and understood the game very well without needing explanations which is always a sign of good design. The gameplay is fun and actually addictive (really liked this void wall mechanic) but as it's got mentioned in other comments it's really hard to find all the notes, maybe a smaller map would help on this. Overall loved the idea and the execution as well! Brings good OG slender man vibes :D Keep up with the good work!
There might be some hidden mechanics and cheat codes that could help with that, there's a map in the game that you can ask the terminal about, might also be a way to activate xray vision and possibly a way to make the wall voiding, flashlight be infinite. Many of these make the game pretty trivial :P
Thanks for playing!
I found 4 sticky notes, very difficult to find the rest. A bit scary at the beginning, but very fun though. It's great to play a game that is easy to understand, I very like the gameplay. Congratulation!
Appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing!
the silence, the footstep, the flickering lights. all contributes to the eerie feeling in navigating this liminal space. well done!
Thanks for the positive feedback and for playing! appreciate it!
