Notes from gameplay:

- The visuals are interesting, gives me a found footage vibe

- Sound is confusing, not sure what it's supposed to be

- I can't tell if I'm doing anything or not. The shovel moves when I click and every now and then I get a message like "dig deeper"

- Ahhhhh! Lol, the figures appearing outside the hole gave me a jump scare! Creepy! Flashlight doesn't seem to work on then? Intended?

- Once the figures appear, the distant background has very obvious walls the trees are painted on

- I'm guessing I found my own coffin :(

Short and creepy, gave me a surprise jump! Feels like an interactive story. Some more elements of feedback to the player would make it more immersive, such as an animation/sound played when you dig.

Wasn't a fan of the grainy video visuals and Ravioli covered the critiques

Takes a while to load, dunno if that's Godot's fault though.

There just wasn't very much to it, the gameplay felt a lot like cookie clicker, except I had to aim.

Some improvements you could make if you choose to work on this more:

- Some audio or visual feedback whenever you dig a little would help a lot
- Some layers of audio ambience like heartbeats or droning noises would really add to the tension, like adding them in whenever the "keep digging" messages pop up.
- The giant walls around the environment sort of break the immersion, get rid of them if possible.
