I've rated about 30 games and this is my favorite. I love everything about this, it looks great AND it looks like a real gameboy game. The light pulsing like a heartbeat is fantastic. The atmosphere is intense, I felt scared playing it. The foreshadowing is great, writing is great. I really REALLY liked the unsettling details like doorways that appear out of nowhere, exiting the closet through a different door than you came in, the reflection in the mirror changing, the fact that one of the knives is already missing. The push and pull of WANTING the candle to follow you but also being afraid of it hurting you is GENIUS.
I feel like this is something that works great at exactly its current length but that could also be fleshed out into a full game and still be fun the whole way through. I'm blown away, this is my highest rated game. well done.
The two extremely tiny, minor notes I have are that the reflection in the mirror doesn't seem to be aligned to the same pixel grid, i was getting overlapping and slightly offset pixels which make it look like the resolution is higher than allowed, and the sound of the toilet flushing seems to be a higher quality than the gameboy would be able to produce but - who cares.
Game is GREAT.
