Pretty chill horror game with an interesting story. Didn't know how the panic meter worked at first but after a bit of trial and error i learnt how to counter the shadow beings. The good use of sound tops off the lonely atmosphere of the game.
I also like the little details/spooks like the shadow appearing behind you when you read the note in the first room, which reminds him of how he got into this situation.
Managed to get 2 endings i liked it alot!
Thank you, and I'm glad you liked it :)
Nice job ! If you put a tutorial in the beginning would be much better !
Thank you! I still kinda struggle with communicating to the player, I always leave that step last and run out of time :D
Don't worry bro . I'm sure you will be a master communicator in the future !
One small question i forgor to ask . How many endings there are ? I unlocked the first and second ending but is there anything else ?
Only those, I planned them differently - a good, a bad and a "stagnation" ending, where nothing changes, but I settled on two (the two I alreadí made :D ) to finish in time.
Amazing horror game with heavy theme about PTSD
Thank you!
Liked the visuals a lot, took a while to understand how to decrease the panic meter but it clicked eventually, great job :)
Thank you so much! I could've been clearer with the mechanics, lesson learned :)
