I just really like this one. It relies more on weirdness and a sense of foreboding than any overt "horror," and ends up being a very effective, short experience. I also really liked the visual aesthetic with all the soft glow and blur. Very cool!

- Creepy little game around filling out a mundane survey that goes awry. I want to know what they want with me! Do they have nefarious plans or are they just gathering data? It's hard to concentrate when I'm being watched...

I really loved playing through this. Keep up the good work! Please also try my game.
Great Game. Really loved the aesthetics and gameplay. I loved how this game had no big jumpscares or anything like that, it was just using atmospheric horror.
My experience playing this game in a nutshell:
-Hmm, a computer in a suspiciously dark room in the middle of nowhere. I've seen worse, I guess.
-Um, a survey? Sure.
-(Answers questions) Um, what are these things shining on me, and why are they blinking? And why can't I leave?
-Is there anywhere to run? Uh, yeah, if you would please let me-. (is being slowly dragged away) Hey! Let me go! I'm an innocent being, not a rented mule! HEEEEELLLLP!
I really liked this game, I ended up playing it a second time because I didn't realize that the open ended questions allowed me to type something in, so I was just pressing enter and skipped them all. Everything is put together very well, and forms a short but good and enjoyable experience.
Really nice submission, unique gameplay, bizarr, eldritch loneliness. GG!
The sound design was the best. Loved the graphics and the way it interacted. Got confused sometimes like the human bit where it came from but the game pit me on edge. Nice.
The use of darkness to juxtapose against the bright eyes was a great choice.
A short game, but very well done, good going!
Very interesting game, I personally hate being watched when I do something, especially by strangers. I felt that it took a long time for the options to appear on the screen (perhaps it's part of the ambiance) and perhaps showing a flashing bar when you have to write freely would make it more intuitive.
Great work!
Ehm... I don't understand, I seem to be stuck in front of the color question with no choice or mean to go further... Did I miss something?
Great game, Its really simple and yet really good. The atmosphere, the look and the overall feel of the game are amazing. Sadly it is extremely short, but Its a game jam game afterall, so that is 100% understandable. Had a lot of fun playing this!
Great game, Keep it upโฅ
