Thank you so much for playing! You can decrease the stress in safe zones. Basically where you hear the 'Ok ok just calm down' voice part. We need to make that more obvious indeed :)

Right, I missed the first safe zone entirely and didn't even make it to the stairs. Knowing that, I finally finished the game. The 2 jumpscares after the emergency door got me good (though I really dislike jumpscares) but the game got really stressful near the end with the increased stress and lack of safe zones, which was nice. The stress level should decrease faster though, I was waiting forever in the first zone
