I really like how creative your idea is, and I love all the art too. I only had sleep paralysis once (or like, there was only one instance where I was seeing things), and the game actually reminded me of that. While I agree that the difficulty could be tweaked, I think this is a commendable effort :)

The character of my game suffers from narcolepsy, which disables the character control buttons and the game becomes a point and click.

Really struggled progressing at all, but it looks like you are already aware of that. I just wish I was able to experience more of it! Looks nice

Weapon Possessedvery nice game, but absurdly difficult.Not that I can say anything about that.

Speedrun ChaosGood Job!
The game was a little unclear to me but I figured it out after reading description.

Run & Gun NCFun to play, doesn’t really feel like horror, keep up the good work tho!

Just Don't Die: Jam EditionGreat idea, and I love the music!
The game is quite hard, but I think you already know it. It'd be great to tweak and polish it, as it has a good potential!
Good job :)

Into The WindI really wish to proceed further in a game, but it's way too hard, the first enemy after the ghost Is insane XD I have no idea if it's due to playing on a laptop or my newbie skills. I think you should give more time to a player before killing him/slow down these flying enemies/increase the radius of the light. Although I wasn't able to play a lot, I am amazed of what you've done so quickly. The mystique, ambient atmosphere is built perfectly, and the music is so juicy for this style of game. Loved it and it's sad it's too difficult, hopefully, enemies will be nerfed in the future

CTRL and RollWow! The ambience and the art is just stunning! I would love to see what you could have done with more time to refine it!
Fits the theme perfectly, and with an original spin! Really haven't seen any games that concentrate on the psychological aspect of losing control, and it's quite refreshing!
Good job, I rather enjoyed the short experience! +1

Space ArcadeVery nice game, you took the theme in a really original way and the game was really fun! The atmosphere was great and the music was really immersive. My only criticism is that it would be great if the enemies had some visual feedback when you killed them since currently they just disappear which is not very satisfying. Other than that small issue, the game is really amazing, great job!

ApocalypseVery unique take on the theme, and very cohesive visuals and sound! The experience is very immersive, it truly feels terrifying when you lose control of your character and have to start frantically searching for the ghosts that attack you. Nice!

Super Raccball GalaxyLove the art style.
The encounters with ghosts heading toward you was a bit frustrating at times when the controls locked up next to trees and ghost spawned behind them. Not having any indication of how many ghosts were still to come made it a bit hard to tell when the character could walk again.
Might just be preference but i'd have prefered to have been able to take more than 1 hit before losing, but that's probably just my inexperience at this sort of game talking.

Just the EssentialsThe atmosphere is very chilling which is really cool. I liked having to look around with the light and having things jump out! I still struggle with the big enemies that that seem to take more clicks. Over all good game. :)

Master of NoneI didn't read the "How does your game fit the theme?" section until after I played and assumed that A and D were broken in some way. I think having a prompt remain on screen advertising that you can move, but not allowing the player to move, though it fits the theme, may be a mistake from a design standpoint.
What seems more likely?
1. There is something wrong with the keyboard I'm using (Test: A, Test: D)
2. There is something wrong with the code you wrote in 48 hours
All that said, I think if the documentation were clearer and it worked as intended, it is a great idea. Even as it was I could survive for quite a long time without moving.
Nice to see a horror game submitted! So spoopy 2 scrd to play! :) Nice job!
