I really enjoyed this! The environment was nicely laid out, I liked the aesthetic, and the aliens actually spooked me a few times. The main issue I had was the lighting - I only had one glowstick and when it died when I got outside, I couldn't find anymore or my way back into the house (and then I fell in the pit and died). But aside from that, I really enjoyed it - good job!

Ha yep I get that, overscoping is my superpower haha. And ahh that makes sense, I completely missed those but on replaying that's a nice touch!
And sure thing, so the main one was when you first pick up the knife, the two options that appear are 'E - hold to attack' and 'E - interact', which I assume is a bug as whenever you pick it up after this, the second option becomes, 'R - drop'. And the other bug was in the game over menu but I wasn't able to reproduce it. But yeah, nice one!
This was great - charming and unique, the game just had a fun vibe to it. I also like how the game made you discover the mechanics naturally (like barking to sus out the aliens), though I didn't end up working out what to do with the knife or boombox did. There were also a few minor bugs, but overall great stuff (& I found myself playing a couple times until I got the good ending)
Interesting concept and intriguing story, though I think it needs a bit of polish (main things being the UI speech bubbles appearing offscreen / obscured, objectives could've been clearer (the use of the computers, and the voice and text telling you to go opposite directions before then suddenly both telling you to go the same way) & sadly I think the game glitched in the dark room meaning I wasn't able to finish it). Otherwise, cool lil & would be keen to play if there's an update
