Thanks a lot for feedback, I appreciate honesty a lot more than the comments where people write only nice things just not to offend developer.

By now I recognize that the keys are very frustrating to search for but couldn’t really come up with a solution to this. I initially built this huge building and only later realized that it would be too hard to find the keys so I tried to implement sound signals and this screen blink thing but as I can see now it wasn’t a 100% solution.

I don’t know about the monster, it is really hard to balance him because I’ve seen people who have no problem running away from him and also people who are too scared to even try to run or hide, the main problem I see is that people don’t really know what they should do and how they should play.

IMO the monster is in a good place, the only issue it has is once it's near the player, it won't leave the proximity, which makes hiding kind of useless as he will most likely come back to the same room.

All that has to be done is after a while of being in the proximity, it'll go out of the range for a little while to give the player a chance to leave and go on their way.

I also think it should be a little bit more clearer that the flashlight can slow the monster down as the drawing on the wall can be missed easily.

Player is also faster than the monster without putting any paintings on the puzzle, so it's just about players getting used to the environment and learning how the enemy works.

I really appreciate the fact that you’re still here and that you’re writing all these suggestions.

In fact it kind of motivated me and I already released a small update where I made that the enemy when in proximity will have a slowly increasing chance to go on his way and made the flashlight hint drawing large (couldn’t think of anything original that doesn’t require much effort).

Those are great news, just make sure to keep the difficulty of your game where you want it and not go off the rails just to make it easier for others.

Is there a way to hide from the monster? Like I was crouched in rooms but he always knew where I was, I think it would be a good idea if you make it clear to the player how to hide or implement a way to hide if you don't have one yet.

There is no actual hiding mechanic, you just hide by getting under tables, hiding in closets, hiding behind different obstacles or in plants.

Looks like he found you because he was just inspecting the room and saw you or you got unlucky enough to be at exact location he was going towards.
