Relly great game. I like the game feel and sound design. Very cool.
Some ambient music and footsteps would really help the atmosphere. The visuals are pretty good though.
Some kind of sound would have been really nice. Even just a basic droning ambient sound on loop would have added a lot to the horror/atmosphere, I feel.
The controls were a bit annoying but I see the retro style you were going for so it wasn't bad. Although, I'm not sure how I feel about enter to interact, I think that could have been a more standard button. Also, an increase in turning speed would have been nice, I found myself walking into walls a lot while I'm trying to turn around, lol.
I kept accidentally walking past where I was meant to go, I don't think you needed so much environment if it wasn't going to be used, mildly confusing outside of an open-world game to have free space to go to (imh).
Story was simple but had a nice eerie feel to it given the environment. Speaking of which, the environment and art as well were nicely done. The emptiness and cleanness of the rooms gave me a very eerie feeling. The boarded windows and fact that I haven't seen my buddy for so long (while living so close) and that I look like some weird flesh monster made me wander what fever dream this was set in; well done.
Neat submission.
love the retro look. this was scary :3
