Wow, man, this was so awesome, especially considering the time we had to make something! At first, I died, a lot haha, but then I turned out the lights and played and it was a really fun time. Actually still playing, trying to work out where to go :D  

Loved the OG Resident Evil vibes with the little snippets of story written on notes - very cool. Awesome theme and the story seems solid enough to make it fun and a little bit scary when the zombies rush out of the shadows at you haha!

Art also really cool. For me, the main character is too spooky. I'd make him more of a character, with face etc, because at first I thought he was a zombie for a moment! That's subjective though, just what I would do tbh.

I'm not sure if the zombies cool off and head another way when you turn out the light? If not, I think that should be something haha :D

Anyway, man, I'm really impressed. It's a pretty great achievement to make this, let alone finish it in such a short time. Look forward to seeing how it develops - great work ;) 

Well done game. rather impressed with a lot of it. here is my feedback:

1) mouse is not always visible on title screen. took a moment to find the start button because mouse wasn't showing and it was already highlighted red for some reason. the mouse movement over it didn't show any changes and it stayed red the entire time. 

2) once i got the game to start there is a message about me stealing a top secret vial that doesn't go away. i feel like 2 things should happen here. either the game should not be playable until these message go away or you show them a different way like at the bottom of the screen and they auto advance. i was able to walk around for a while before i realized space bar made it go to the next message. please restrict the game from beginning until these messages are gone or move them out of the view of the player. if you keep them how they are now, please put some indicator that says press space to advance the message. another options would be to have a piece of paper on a table at the start like the other tables that says this stuff so you don't have to click through the messages at the start of every game.

3) please let the player know what their controls are inside the game. once i pressed run game i couldn't see the controls listed and longer. 

4) i was able to glitch myself outside of the play area by standing in the doorway and closing the door on myself a few times. walked all the way to the end without picking up the keycard but couldn't find a way to get back into the playable area to escape correctly.

5) death screen and win screen could use a lot of improvement.

6) add more levels and more enemies and this could be a wildly popular game.

7) I do like the varying sounds when you walk on different things like grating vs concrete. i was able to find a section of grating in the room with the keycard that didn't make the correct sound though.

I would love to see more in this game. make another level if you can and possibly some other enemies. The current enemies are not challenging enough in my opinion. its just a simple dodge and wait game in that aspect. if you can make some that follow you while your light is on that would be a cool game mechanic instead of just staying on the same path the whole time. 

overall a very well done game just needs some more content to it and i could spend a while playing it. if you can figure out a way to make a random room generator that would be nice to see so then you would have a sort of dungeon run aspect that would keep the players interested and want to come back time and time again after they beat the store line. 

Not exactly sure how i would score this game because i broke it with the door glitch on my first run but it feels like it should have an 87% for me outside of that glitch. fix the death and win screen and that could easily go into the 90-95% range. if you make changes and upload a new one, please let me know. otherwise, keep up the good work and i hope to see more from you in the future!

This is really great. The atmosphere and environment really sell the story. I loved the exploration you pushed for and getting caught was a bit nerve racking haha. Really great job on finishing this game. I look forward to seeing how it develops further. 

The game really feels uncomfortable, which is nice for the game.
I may miss something so, I didn't know how to close. the first dialog lol.

I love stealth games, so this one was definitely a lot of fun to play! I beat it in the first try without getting caught once. ;) The trick seems to be to turn off your flashlight and never turn it back on again. :D At least I felt it was unnecessary, since I could still make out where I was going and where the zombies were even in the dark. Maybe you can somehow add some level of difficulty for us steath nerds (although it seems a lot of people in the comments had difficulty, so maybe it was just me...)

I also LOVE that you had controller support! I played it with my XBOX One controller and it worked great! I'm looking forward to seeing what this becomes in the future!

I liked the ambiance but for me it's too difficult. I couldn't get passed the first zombie, since it's too dark for me to see much, even with the flashlight on. The zombies were incredibly fast too. A blink and they appeared and disappeared. If I hadn't watched your discord video, I would have had no idea why I kept dying.

But I do have some vision problems so it's probably just me. Maybe consider adding difficulty levels, with a few easier settings and a few harder settings.

But from the discord video the story sounds great, and I'd watch a whole playthrough just to see how the story turns out.

The full screen version of the browser version didn't respond to either my gamepad or mouse or keyboard, but the window browser version was responsive. The gamepad didn't seem to work for the menu. The mouse seemed off for the menu too. I have to aim the to have the top of the cursor over start rather than the center of the cursor. 

After the menu screen I played using a gamepad and it was very responsive and worked as expected. I didn't try the keyboard or mouse. The instructions below the game about controls definitely helped me out.

Hey there, congrats on getting your game out! I really like where this is going. Your pixel art is impressive, and the feel of the game is spot on. I am a sucker for RE and this gave me some throwback vibes to the very first ones. Great job. I initially wanted to do a zombie game but I have not done pixel art before so they ended up becoming little alien creatures. 

I had issues playing however, the zombies were patrolling very fast, so fast that I could not get past either of the two first ones and was unable to progress. It seemed I only needed to step in their pathway to die. I am wondering, did you optimise the movement by time? i.e. so the zombies move at the same rate for everyone regardless of framerate. 

It's a shame as this game looks super promising. If you think you can fix it let me know as I'd love to try again. If there's anything you need from me to help with this let me know. 

Hello Friend. From the beginning, I liked the intro graphics with the blinking eyes very much. However, when the game started, I found it poor. I played it in a Google Web Browser, and the Graphics were poor, like in the 1980s.The sound effect with the dripping water was nice at first but after a while it was annoying and I wanted to turn the sound off. You could have made the sound when you approached certain points to be activated and instead of the continuous sound you could have nice music playing in the background.The game's controls were very difficult because it was hard to see what was there due to the lack of lighting, the difficult handling of the lens, and the low-quality graphics.I believe that if you work on the graphics and music, the game will have a much better result. For starters, it leaves a good impression with good development prospects.Good luck my friend. 

• The vibe is really good, you set a great atmosphere
• At first dying felt random, but than I figured out that the enemies have patrol routes so I was more careful around corners
• played on laptop (keyboard and trackpad) and the light rotation did not behave as expected which was quite frustrating

Feels like one of those games where you die a lot but makes you want to come back for another try.  Really enjoying the 90's anime cyberpunk vibe, the lighting and sound effects work great for creating atmosphere and those written notes are cool also.
I had a some issues with mouse control for the flashlight, but I plugged in an xbox controller and used the analog stick which seemed to work perfectly 

Dude, the atmosphere is soooo good! I love the setting, the writing and the exploration. Also had one hell of a scare when I died after recklessly traversing back to a previously discovered spot while completely forgetting the zombie in there. hahaha
The main issue I had was with controlling the flashlight. I was using WASD for movement and the mouse for the flashlight, but couldn't seem to point it to where I wanted, so I would just slide the mouse left or right until it stopped kinda in the place I wanted and then rolled with it until the corridor changed direction. One specific issue is that it stopped computing mouse movement if the cursor went outside the game screen. I would personally prefer one of these alternative control schemes: seeing a stylized mouse cursor in game and the flashlight always pointing to it; or the flashlight always rotating counterclockwise or clockwise if I drag the mouse left or right, while ignoring vertical movement and working regardless of the (then invisible) cursor position (a bit quirkier, but one could get used to it and it could double down as a quirky, RE1-style car control gun aim), or even the flashlight always pointing to the character front, perhaps with some angle interpolation just for polish and extra suspense.
Ah, another minor hindrance was the floor and wall having such similar colors, making it a bit difficult to understand the collision boxes for the labyrinth.
These were literally the only problems I had, and I'm VERY curious to finish the game later and see the rest of the story! The ambiance is just fantastic! I can also definitely see the potential for a commercial release, if you want to expand on it :)

Nice job, It's way more difficult than it looked in discord :) Well done on getting it this far in a few weeks, looking forward to playing it more. (FYI, I'm seeing the intro text a couple of times)
