I really like the look of the game and the storyline. It seems like there were some layer issues where it looked like the character walked under objects instead of over them, but I didn't really mind. I think it will be a really cool game if you decide to further develop and polish it.
Thanks a bunch! I'm sorry about the layering but I'm also glad that it didn't bother your too much haha. The encouragement is very much appreciated and I hope it becomes an awesome game once it's been fully developed.

It looks like this game has a really nice direction aesthetic and story-wise, but for the most part, it just seems unfinished and untested. Audio is a bit finicky in the beginning, the player frequently goes underneath objects in the scene, and it's very unclear as to what you're supposed to do. I've played the game twice, getting the same result each time where, after getting caught by the father for leaving the room when you're supposed to read a book for 6 hours, I get stuck in the next with no known way of getting out.
It just looks like this game needs more time to develop, and given more time, it can be pretty cool.
If you're interested and have the time to do so, feel free to check out our jam game, Black Blizzard: https://itch.io/jam/screamortality/rate/978095
Thank you for the feedback! We will definitely work towards a finished and polished game with these bugs in mind. I also appreciate you trying to play twice even though it ended quite abruptly and could've caused some confusion/frustration(our bad!)
I wish you could've experienced the whole play-through, BUT the second-best to that, if you're interested in the rest of the scenes and narrative would be this post I wrote here: https://dev.to/veronicayung/prototype-hollow-3md1
