Notes from gameplay:

- Good overall intro setup, but spacing out the text into smaller blocks might be easier to read (the 2 weeks later part in particular)

- Music is very creepy! 

- The grainy quality gives this an atmospheric, found-footage vibe

- Very dark, hard to see

- Fishing! Camera zoom is a bit disorienting here

- I like how there's a clue and breadcrumb to go search behind the house, good use of fishing discovery

- Bouncing flashlight is distracting. I like how quick Tracy moves (it's a little bit too fast), makes exploration easier, but it also means the flashlight jumps all over the place. Maybe she should have one of those head lamps

- Unsure where to go other than "behind the house" and "to the neighbors" - a minimap or objective arrows would be helpful here

- Oh found a random monster. Creepy art design! Walked right through it. It doesn't seem to have noticed me?

- Found a half-eaten body and got a creepy poem and to be continued. I think this was the end?

Interesting start to a game! I think you did some good work with the art, music and atmosphere, but the lighting and UI need to be improved to make it easier to navigate. Good start!

Thank you for playing and sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate the suggestions.

I liked the overall presentation and the music really helped to set the mood. It was pretty dark so it was hard to see much, although I was on my laptop so maybe it's better on a regular monitor. I went to the house with the red porch light but wasn't able to figure out what to do from there.

Used the fishing line three times and waited over a minute each time but no luck xD  The presentation for this was great though although that walk cycle needs to be slowed down a bit !
