Fun idea! I think it needs a bit more development on the mechanics front; based on my short time it seems that the lights were much more useful than the games that you can play (music etc).

I like the visual effect once your anxiety approaches max, and the sound effects definitely gave me a good jump when the monster got me!

Developer

Thank you for your feedback. I will reduce the amount that the lights decrease the meter a little bit in an upcoming patch.

Audio and art fits the atmosphere of the game really well. It was a little confusing at first figuring out what I was supposed to be doing so perhaps a small tutorial section or in game text prompting you to do some things at first would help. Good work! 

Developer

thank you, totally agree. It was originally planned but I needed a bit more time I think. Will probably update after the jam with one

Thank you! Good stream!

I can't believe I left that bug with the timer. Basically what is happening is I forgot to reset the timer that counts how long you were in game. So it will only reset if you quit and restart the game fully. Literally a one line of code fix lol. Once the voting period is over I will be fixing that.

Also no the music doesn't stop time. It wastes time. The idea was that you either ignore it and listen to music or do chores or sleep then get caught, or you pay attention to it locking it out. But then you become more anxious making it harder to keep it out.
