Really liked the visuals PSX style graphics are so much fun to look at. You have no idea how excited I was to rip out my Xbox controller out for this one, and it seems like there was a ton of polish to this one, having an extensive settings menu and even more lore within audio files and text files outside of the game itself. Neat stuff here, love the Resident Evil style gameplay, feels like a love letter to RE1 and Silent Hill 2. The cultists showing up behind the gates scared the hell out of me. I really wished I could have finished but I encountered a bug inside the house that got my camera stuck inside the bedroom's camera. Even when I'd hold down L2 on my controller to use the player camera, it seemed to get stuck on it. It happened again outside with the lone cultist in an alley way. But I see you've been insanely dedicated and rolling out bug fixes which is awesome. Not sure if it was supposed to play into something but the game turned on my laptop's webcam.

Thanks so much for the awesome feedback! I’m thrilled to hear the PSX-style visuals and Resident Evil/Silent Hill-inspired mechanics hit the mark for you—I really wanted to capture that nostalgia while adding some new twists, so it’s fantastic that you enjoyed those touches!
Sorry to hear about the camera bug. I’m actively working on refining the transitions to make them smoother on hardware where it’s been a bit glitchy. There’s actually quite a bit more content after the house area, so I hope you’re able to check it out once the fixes are rolled out!
And yep, the webcam is part of the final reveal—without spoiling too much, it’s used to create a moment I think you’ll enjoy! There is a disclaimer about it on the main page as well, but it’s a bit hidden in the lore, so I apologize for that. Thanks again for giving it a go, and I hope you’re able to finish it up with the updates soon!
