The concept could have been interesting, but I actually only wandered in circles in the dark hallways, eventually coming back right to the beginning (and I was kinda hoping to get jumpscared by a monster)

Thanks for appreciating the idea! The last day we had to change the whole idea of the game as it was intended to be a 3rd Person and we ended up as 1st. We kinda wanted just an eerie experience where you just could easily get lost without a purpose nor a way to get out. That was the main tension, not knowing if you were truly alone.

I don't really know. Anything.

What's the objective of the game? Where am I supposed to go? What even do the dice rolls do (1 makes a creppy yell, but other numbers?)?

Hi, I'm sorry we couldn't transmit the idea properly, as we had to change almost everything a couple hours before submitting. The main idea was to create a backrooms-like experience where you builded up tension by sounds played by the dice, which rolled randomly having each number a different trigger. Also, not knowing if something is there to get you would help on building that. I guess that absolute randomness can end up in repeating cycles of the same sound. Hope we can make a proper build in the future, thanks for the feedback!
