This one had a really cool atmosphere! The audio and visuals work well, fits the theme, and I also liked the writing (are Neuro’s lines from somewhere? It feels familiar, but can’t put my finger on it). I also appreciate building a “spooky game” without jumpscares.

Wow, this is actually pretty cool, visually good, the music makes me shit my pants, the gameplay is smooth and cool.
Just to be a little be of an asshole, I'm a really nervous person so being stuck on the text for "this long" makes me want to go faster, so being able to speed up/skip the text would be cool :3
Very good job!
Really cool game with interesting premise. Enjoyed annoying the malevolent entity. Reminds me of Stanley Parable. Good job!
Very atmospheric, but I got lost while trying to get the good ending. I could only get caught so many times before losing my patience. :P
I had fun, got both endings, and got scared a couple of times. The challenges themselves are very good and challenging
I wish there were a way to make the dialogue go faster by clicking the mouse or something (it's probably just my ADHD)
This is easily the most atmospheric game I've played in the jam so far, and that says a lot because I played and rated 25 other games so far.... fantastic work! The vibes in this game are impeccable and hit just right.
Got the bad ending, but I might try to get the other ending at some point too,
Unity dev tip: You can have a button that re-load the current scene if you want to save work on resetting the game hehe (unless your variables live in a static class, then truly rip)
Programming practices be damned, this is a jam! Attaching a script that controls most of my game in my own jam game. As you can see, it's not pretty lmao. But it works, and that's all that counts here!!
I think it's good that the good ending is challenging to get, but maybe some of the individual tougher segments in it could've been made just a tinyyyy bit easier. Just a wee bit.
Looks very awesome, love it! I'd love Vedal to play this one.
It was difficult for me to orient in the space (I honestly think it's just a skill issue though), and the enemies that wouldn't let me look around properly made it give up after finding just three thingies: too bad cause I'd love to find out the ending ~_~
This was a nice fun game. I love how you focussed on the details even tohough it's a game jam. Good work .
