Thank you so much for the kind feedback. Sometimes I feel like my story, art and code are all held together by duct tape and I put a bow on it and presented it to the world. Everyone is so kind to each other in their comments; I love how positive it is. Maybe we all understand each other's pain through developing our games.
I used Garageband to make the intro song and there's an instrument preset called 'Dark Bass Drive' with a transform called 'Slow Filter'. At really low tempo it starts to sound like that. It added so much tension to the arrangement.
Silent hill, Fatal Frame and Resident Evil are huge inspirations for me. I love how one second, there's absolutely no action and then suddenly you're running for your life. I figured the first level might get boring or people might be really good at it. So, I wanted to completely pivot the gameplay on the second level.
