I played your game as part of a Let's Play video of this game jam! (and frankly, of the ones I played, yours was probably the one I liked most.)

Nice idea, must have been scary dreams!

Was dying for audio - to add ambience and to highlight particularly spoopy parts.

+1 for the nice story

Although, there's not much to do other than press one button so yeah.

Good story. with audio it might more element of spookiness. if I could make choices also like moving through corridors. that'd be an improvement.

Thank you so much!

It really means a lot to me.

I actually had the code ready for choices but I just couldnt think up something for the right corridor as I really went in the left corridor in my dream.

But here was the original idea for the right corridor enjoy!

As I reached the door,only a couple meters away from where I was standing. As I opened the door I was greeted by...nothingness...it didnt make sense. It was an endless void yet I could walk on it...as I focused my gaze forward I noticed a staircase far off into the distance. I started moving towards it without a thought,a statement true for many of the things I had done thus far.

As I climbed the stairs,it felt like everything was looping for a while but after traversing the stairs for a while,a door came into my sight. Which I proceeded to open but to my surprise,the floor started collapsing and I fell into the empty nothingness,I was sure that I'd die right here but right when I'd lost all hope my body slammed into some sort of floor.

It took my eyes and my body in general some time to adjust to the extreme impact of the fall and comparatively bright lights of the place. I was in some sort of corridor

I liked the story and I think it could be much more fun if the player could decide some stuff.

Cheers.
