It's much better than I imagined, you earned a good grade bro :)

Developer

Thanks for your comment! May I ask what you imagined? Maybe I could change something in my next game?

Very creepy! You're right that our games are so similar yet so different at the same time. It's really cool to see how different people approach the same concept.

The messages were my favorite part. They provided the broad strokes of a story and painted a picture that enhanced the overall creepiness of the game. Well done!

Developer

Thank you! I also liked adding the messages, I found it a good way to convey some story. I was planning to allow players to add their own message after dying. But it would be very hard to filter out unsolicited texts...

really spooky, but not unplayably scary! Great atmosphere. Is there an end or is this an endless game? I had quite a long run, but didn't really know if that was good or bad or what to play for really.

Developer

Thanks for playing. There is no actual ending, I had an idea for one but that would have involved too much work - so I sticked with trying to polish what I had and made the game about surviving as long as possible.

Developer

Yay thanks for playing! Glad it worked!

really cool game !! it feels kinda hard to find things, but i love the atmosphere :)

Developer

Thanks for playing. It depends a bit too much on luck :(

Submitted

Very cool concept, although I found the gameplay to be more luck than skill based. The atmosphere was also really well done! Overall cool game, considering the character is a... rectangle.

Developer

Thanks! That is the extent of my artistic skills :D There is a lot of luck involved, sometimes too much.
