It was really creepy.

The game has performance issues. I would concentrate on fixing framerate if I were you. It's not constant. For starters, lock it to 30 or 60 fps. Secondly, playing it at daytime is hard. It could be nice to have an option to change brightness. Also, tips section in the corner doesn't scale with a screen size.

So, here are  some pieces of feedback which can improve your game :)

Gameplay was good but there could be hiding mechanics like in Outlast. There wasn't a story, I was actually curious about some parts but couldn't find a clue. Hints were clear and enough. I liked the objectives you have to do to escape, they are well-considered. The environment could be improved to make it look more like a pyramid in Egypt but other than that, it was elegant and mind confusing (which is good). As for the horror part- I had to take off my headset and ALT+F4 immediately because the alien scared the hell out of me, and continued to do so throughout the gameplay.

Well done!

I like the art and it was really creepy to walk through the halls but it was almost to dark at some points.

Thank you for playing. Yes i've noticed that after submitting and playing too. I barely submitted the game and unfortunately didn't even had time to test it.

I have fixed the darkness problem. Can you play it again

Sure I'll try playing again :)

Maybe if you have time you could play my game?

Mysterious and intriguing. Crisp graphics and models.

More sound would have helped the atmosphere: music, footsteps.

Also, the game was too dark for me to play comfortably. I understand that the darkness is thematic, but since the player's character has no way of lighting an area, it actually makes the game hard to play.

Thank you for playing. Yes i've noticed that game is very dark after submitting and playing too. I barely submitted the game and unfortunately didn't even had time to test it.  There is footsteps actually. But i think they stole the attention from the gamer and leave less room to be scared so i decreased their volume.

Much easier to navigate through the passages! Thanks. :)
