I liked it; it manages to keep you tense and alert, which is one of the keys to a horror video game. It would benefit a lot from more props around the map to set the scene. Great job!

I'm not able to load the game on the browser. I primarily use Opera as my browser but it looks like it was getting stuck loading so I tried chrome and it appears to be stuck at the same spot. I waited about 2 minutes and it's still not loading. Any suggestions? I'm on Windows 11,
Chrome is up to date - Version 128.0.6613.114 (Official Build) (64-bit)
After typing that all out, it finally loaded, it loaded when I was trying to attach a screenshot. The game doesn't seem to run well on my laptop, I'll give it a shot again when I get to my desktop and see if it runs better there.

The Secret of the Fouraw strange, this is the first I've heard of running issues. Hopefully the desktop runs it well. It's been running on older laptops but using Chrome primarily. Let me know if you have any issues if you do get a chance to try it out on desktop. Maybe let it sit for 60 seconds or so once you hit "Run" on desktop if you're still having issues.
Gosh, I feel so much safer and more powerful with a massive shotgun to take this creepy dude out. The erratic and crazy animation on the monster actually added to the challenge - he's a tough guy to put down! Lots of little things, like a developer document being available, a tutorial and controller support indicate that you put a lot of thought into how to make the game as accessible as possible which is awesome. The document makes it really clear that you achieved the exact gameplay loop you set out to create, which is an excellent workflow and a good sign of being capable of planning for bigger and better things. Great work!

SHELLIE'S SECRETReally creepy game! The sounds the monster made really creeped me out! The sensitivity was a bit weird in the vertical axis and the terrain was a bit weird in some places. Played it multiple times as the monster broke in and killed me the first time around. Great game!

Happy CampersNice submission, I really liked the spooky atmosphere and creatures! I played it multiple times on browser and it was smooth every time.
A few ideas if you want to improve this prototype or create something similar:
- Reset recoil movement. As of now, the recoil makes your sight jump which is kind of annoying since you have to pan down to aim again.
- Have the same sensitivity both horizontal and vertical.
- Rework the exterior map a little bit, smooth the terrain, add gameplay elements outside the house to force players to take risks.
Have a nice day!
