Game description
I would recommend looking around you. You don't wanna be caught off guard by an unseen monster! Try hiding in closets or maneuvering around monsters to avoid dying. Other than that, just get your glass of water and go back to bed.
Theme interpretation
Secrets can mean many things. So I decided that secrets means something hidden. There are a couple things hidden from your sight unless you use your line of sight to see them. I don't want to tell you what they are but you'll see... probably.

This is a good idea for a video game.
The gameplay seems difficult.
By all David Lynch standards—when I first launched the game, the very first thing I saw was a giant blue flamingo... For a moment, I genuinely thought I was hallucinating from sleep deprivation. The concept is incredibly intriguing and reminds me of the classic game Knock-Knock. It’s clear that time constraints may have limited the full realization of all ideas, but even so, the atmosphere of overwhelming exhaustion is captured with style. This game was a pleasant surprise—keep it up!
Some part of me thinks that the chromatic aberration was so high because you were worried about not having enough effects. You guys did great on the pixel art, so I wouldn't worry. While it contributes to the tone of your game, I would say it makes it more difficult. That being said, you guys got a good flow down with this one and the controls are predictable, a good thing for a platformer stealth game. I really enjoyed looking at the creature designs you came up with too
Thank you for playing! I kept the effect so high to try to mimic a dreamy aesthetic, but I do agree it can subtract from the experience.
Designing the creatures was definitely my favorite part! Three of them I've had nightmares about in real life, so I tried to translate them as best as I could into the game.
Keep making content about your nightmares and you're gonna become a Junji Ito! Keep it up man!
