Its been awhile since I've done one of these. Critique Below.

Pros:

- Good Sound Design. This made for a really creepy atmosphere.
- The monster was also pretty creepy. bonus props for seeing him on the tv a floor below
- The Flyer idea was good. Alot of developers make games but as you play all you do is ask why am I doing this, well in this case to invite people to a party.

Cons:

- Floaty controls. People think the head bob and extra movement adds immersion. In my opinion its just annoying at times. The head bob is bad when you have to hit tiny buttons and the extra movement makes it feel like and ice level.
- Big gaps in between scares. Which is ok but in this "short" game the fear went away alot. (I don't know how to word this better)

- The corridor change was cool until it wasn't. Changing corridors were used a bit too much. (Just my opinion)

Overall:

Pretty good experience, with a couple ok jump scares. It also seems like you put time and effort into this game to make it stand out. Keep at it and I can't wait to see what you put out next. GG

Finally some critique, thank you!

I really thought that head bob and extra smooth camera movements add immersion and at the same time I can easily see why they are annoying in that game when trying to hit buttons. I think I just got used to it during the development and didn’t see how weird they might feel.

There are some gaps between what people tend to call “scares” but I guess for each person it felt different. If your fear went away a lot, other people say that they were just paranoid all the time.

I don’t think the corridor change was overused but the main reason I used it that much in the end is that it was the easiest way I came up with to not let the player go back lol

I appreciate that you put time into writing what you liked and what you didn’t about the game, thanks a lot!

no problem i wish to be a game dev too but I'm such a novice that I'm kinda afraid to start something so i really enjoy to play indie games. Thanks for being cool about the critique.

Well I think that’s quite a common problem and probably every game dev had to go through this, I hope someday you will be confident enough to start working on your own project!
