How does your game fit the theme?
Rahter than take the theme at its literal meaning, I decided to add some subtle scaling into the game with your exhaustion scaling based on how hard you try to stay awake, and your anxiety scaling increasingly with your level of exhaustion.

Interesting concept! I tried to keep both meters relatively low by blinking very rapidly until I gave up from my own exhaustion.
I liked the idea but I would have enjoyed more objectives to fulfill while keeping the exhaustion and anxiety scales in check.
I appreciate the feedback! I'm compiling a list of ideas to try and expand on what's there because I know it's not the most engaging experience as is. Thanks for taking the time to check it out, and congrats on getting your game submitted as well!
A name fitting for game jams truly.
It's a nice concept overall, though I wish it was more balanced and that there was more to the game.
I really appreciate you taking the time to check it out. I want to add more to it after the jam is said and done, once I got the anxiety and exhaustion mechanic in, I knew there was more I could do but I was concerned with having at least something to submit and I let a lot of my time get consumed by getting the ghost spawning to work right. Thanks again, and congrats on getting your game submitted!
