- 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!

SCP: Unsight WhispersNice 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!

Hoot 'N' SpookAbsolute 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.

Dont Show Yourself!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!)

The Truth Must Be FoundReally 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!

Grave digger (VR)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.

A Spooky Cat-ventureHey 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:
- The SFX and ambience of the game are incredible. They really amplify the visuals and bring them to the next level (not that the visuals themselves weren't already amazing). I felt the tension building constantly and the audio really amplified the jumpscares
- Speaking of which, the visuals were extremely beautiful and the segways between stages were very cool. Loved the sort of macabre art and abstract phrases -- very much reminded me of the segways between scenes in Serial Experiments Lain.
- Gameplay was simple and to the point, but fit perfectly with the idea of just trying to fall asleep in a haunted house. I loved every second of it and quickly trying to look away from the horrifying butt that blocked my closet door.
Overall, fantastic game! Really a blast to play and absolutely terrifying!

EsotericaGreat game! I loved the pixel art :) My only complain would be the use of arrow instead of WASD.

Weird TherapyThis 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
