  • You created something amazing. I'll get to that in a moment because the pros outweigh the cons. I have 2 issues. The loud noise at the start before the audio warning docked a point off audio for me, otherwise you'd be perfect 5/5 across the board. It's also clear you are doing something "ARG" like with the lore. I had around 130 games to judge so I didn't really have the time to explore too deep, plus the game scared the absolute daylights out of me. So to begin the pros, I'll repeat myself. Your game scared the absolute daylights out of me not once, but twice. This game had a great atmosphere. The creepiness was perfect and when I was jump scared by something it wasn't really a jump scare so much as me hitting my limit for creepy things. It's nuts you did this in a week because this could be the demo of a full game on Steam if you felt like pursuing in. In fact, I think you should make a full game if you wanted to. Horror fans would appreciate this. I certainly did. thanks for submitting!
  • Benadryl. I'm too stupid to understand this, but it's actually unsettling.

How does your submission fit the jam's theme?
Hidden lore is the world simulation caught a fatal error making the reality "corrupted".
