Don't go red (go through the red door)

How did you add the special object?
Yes, there are denials to avoid rooms with especific items, the first "don't item" is the chassis.

Did anyone found the easter egg in the opening logo?

Very interesting idea. Works well with the scary atmosphere. The game design matches perfectly with the theme. The opening is impressive too. It has potential to become a commercial game. Reminds me of the back room games on steam.

I just played your game there and its great I really like the concept and its a great implemetaion of the theme. The visuals, music and sounds are perfect and really make the game. Also the game is very polished for a jam game which is very impressive. Definetly one of the best games I have played from the jam so far and I can definetly see you winning it! Keep up the great work

once I entered a room with a... matress or table or whatever in it by strafing left, the game didn't kill me. It might be rare or a bug when I played for the first time, though.

It happens, theres a trick, the left or right it’s relative to the door that you entered, so you can avoid the denial exiting and entering the room again, so the left door will change.

it crashed. dont know why, probably just me

Developer(+2)

Sorry about that, it’s really a bug that rappens sometime on the first run, running again it should work, it’s something about the save files.

Thanks man! it worked without crashing this time! :)
