thank you for the kind words!! <3
i wasn't alive in the 80s either haha, but i really liked the idea of making horror games that would've come out on that time period. i was mainly inspired by atari games; there's something about the audiovisual simplicity of those games that i think works really well for the uncaniness/creep factor, if that makes sense? and i'm really glad it worked for you!
i'll fully admit the story wasn't as much of a focus as in my other games, as i wanted to work primarily on gameplay for a change haha. but i'm happy to hear the bits of story that are there moved you :>
thank you for playing! :D
