It had a good scary vibe with that ambient music but unfortunately, it froze for me 3 times in a row, than I gave up.

The visuals looked good, and the audio complemented it well, but we also had the problem of not being able to get more than a couple of seconds in before it froze. After a couple of tries we could get the game as far as the first jump scare, which we would agree you probably could have left out, since you had already done a really good job building the creepy atmosphere without it. Good luck getting the game to run smoothly, it would be cool to be able to play far enough to check out the other features you added (like the inventory) :)

I enjoyed the art style, I think that the pop up jump scare images weren't necessary as the atmosphere without them was good. Wish I could have played more but could not make it past 30 seconds to a minute without a crash.

Very Spooky!

The graphics and atmosphere are decent, but the jumpscares felt cheap.

You should include in the instructions that you can control the flashlight with the mouse.

Was glad to see this was updated to be runnable -- there are still some freezes that make it difficult to play more than about 30second though. Liked the hispeed control and mapping though.

This game is interesting to say the least! The graphical style and movement felt smooth, with the actual environment feeling well populated.

This said, I do feel the game fell short of it’s potential. This game used basic jumpscares and I had it crash more than once while playing. For this reason, I had to deduct some points in gameplay.

Otherwise, it was overall a great concept! Flush it out more in the future and I feel this has potential!

Hey! It looks like you've uploaded the project files rather than a build game. You might want to do something about it. Try reaching out to the mods.

Thanks for pointing that out. The file should be good to go now!
