Sharing my experience here! I played the demo version and liked the ambience and jumpscares. I was really curious about the story and the 'why' behind everything happening. I was expecting to find more answers in the extended version, and indeed, some questions were answered, but the most important, for me the 'why', wasn't. 

I loved the fact there was lore to explore on the protagonist's computer that gave away some clues, but at the end I just couldn't fit all the pieces together. Maybe I missed something? Because the game froze while I was working on the in-game-computer and I didn't go through everything in the second playthrough. 

Therefore the ending left me with a bitter aftertaste because my questions weren't answered. Why the sudden sleep paralysis? Why are the ghosts messing with me? What have  I, the protagonist done, to make that happen? Or is it all just a consequence of work related stress? I don't know! 

Overall I really enjoyed the game and made another Let's Play video 😊

Hello, and thanks for playing! Sleep paralysis can happen for many reasons, like extreme tiredness followed by going straight to sleep, anxiety or stress, or even eating too much before bed. These are all real factors that can trigger sleep paralysis. In the game, the player dies at the end purely for cinematic effect, but in reality, no one has ever died from sleep paralysis. So remember, this is just a simulation!

Thanks for your reply! I understand what would cause sleep paralysis in real life, but this is a game and you're basically telling an interactive story and thus there has to be some logic to the events happening. In a story things can't just happen because it happens. It's not real life where anything CAN happen because it happens. That's why you have your ending the way it ends: for dramatic purposes. Putting events in a row just because, without a why and a logic doesn't make a good story. And story, for me, is important in a game. That's what I wanted to let you know 😊

I'm curious! I'm going to play your other games too. I think you've done an amazing job with the scary atmosphere in this game and the gameplay. I enjoyed all of that. Just wanted to emphasize that! 😊
