- Excellent use of visuals and sound to create a penetrating atmosphere. The use of directional audio to investigate sources of eerie sounds was very effective, and I liked the interspersed poetic text that provided an abstract and surreal flavour to the game. Very well executed and realised idea. This was a highlight of the jam for me!

Wow, that is creepy... I was checking my game rating, and playing some of the winners, got a job just after jam, so been busier. Really good, unique idea, and the first creepy thing, don't want to spoil, is really creepy! haha Great Idea, you def earned your spot in that top 10.
I made a video of your game. Congrats on being one of the top picks for this game jam!

A really nice game. I enjoyed the game and the truth is that it scared me a lot! Good music and good graphics.
Nice game, I really enjoyed the creative loop definitely brings me back to my childhood and dealing with sleep paralysis and falling asleep haha. Definitely has a few good scares in there! The art details were also very creepy, great work!
Absolute crazy creative game mechanic! Loved that game a lot. A 3D version of that would be insanely good, where you can walk around the house while trying to get some rest.
Very good horror game! Seeing a ghost next to me made me jump!
The style of the room looks very good! The entities themselves have some good designs too, I would really like to see this game expanded upon (Either into more updates or into a full game!)
Really great game! Super super scary and unsettling, so you nailed that aspect. It also felt like the gameplay loop was well-thought-out and worked very cohesively. The visuals, audio, and story were all 100% there as well. I think if you wanted to you could definitely spend another week on it maybe adding several different endings and end up with a really fantastic, finished, and well-polished game. Good job!
Really nice experience!
Good job
Really nice experience!
Good job
We made it through the night, jumped a few times :D. Nice aesthetics and sound design !
I loved the concept of the game, and the design of some of the apparitions is really top-notch, especially when accompanied by a creepy little sound. Congratulations! We followed you on Instagram.
This game had me on the edge of my seat! O.O The ghosts were very well-animated, the aesthetics were amazing, everything about the game were spooky and excellent.
Hey Chris!
Holy moly this was a damn experience! This is the first time the Jam that a game genuinely scared the crap out of me O.O I almost lost my shit haha
I have no notes for you. The experience was absolutely incredible and so well put together. Maybe, just let me play that gamecube so I can calm tf down after the horrors I just experienced :P
What I liked:
Overall, fantastic game! Really a blast to play and absolutely terrifying!
This was great, the jumpscares got me.
The game was simple but it was really awesome, scary and fun, would love to see a extended version, the only problem is that it was easy
Great game! I loved the pixel art :) My only complain would be the use of arrow instead of WASD.
This game is AMAZING. I mean the art, the mechanics, everything.
Such a wonderful game!
Really good game mechanics, I dreaded having to keep going onto the next level. Scared me good!
This game is INSANELY good for the time period. Really love the style and the story and everything, I was on edge the whole time. Cool concept and genuine anxiety when I saw that was only ONE NIGHT. If there would be more I’d definitely play
Really unique) Sound design enjoyable!
