This game has such an amazing atmosphere and theme surrounding it!
The idea of having to overcome your fears throughout the game is a fantastic premise and I couldn't wait to see it unfold...
Unfortunately, I had a lot of trouble straight off with the very first maze of the game.
Perhaps it's just because I am terrible when it comes to spatial awareness, but I also wasn't fully intrigued by the design and didn't really feel like there were any interesting spots or landmarks that stood out to me and gave me a "sign" where to go.
Also, the decision to have the player running only while they are holding down the left joystick is really strange and felt very awkward to me.
I would have loved to see a larger part of your game, because of the aforementioned atmosphere and narrative concept, but the maze part kind of had me stumped.
