I missed the part where you are a solo dev while playing the demo. This is a very well crafted game. I made my own video which I'm editing, and honestly, I commented about how your game remembered me Silent Hill, and could be the next Amnesia in terms of genre revolution. I hope your game reaches a big gaming youtuber so more people are aware of it.

When are you expecting to fully release?! This game is what the horror genre is lacking: A truly horror game without dumb jumpscares and not being a walking simulator. I loved the whole concept. They way the puzzles are layed out makes them feel actually real. I see myself buying that magnetic security key. Congrats on this game. The only thing that bothered me is how slow the character can be when crouched. Maybe adding a small sprinting boost when crouched might help(?)
excellent concept! having anomalies happen inside the security room (or main room), would add more to the game. I think the speed at which you can exit either the cameras or the detector is too slow... even punishing as you have to wait around 1-1.5 seconds to exit. Also, I came across a bug where the sound anomaly would play in a room but when you report it, the detector would not accept it as the correct room. It got too repetitive having to wait for the detector to warn about an anomaly, it encouraged me to wait in the detector monitor instead looking through the cameras. I'm in no way trying to trash your game, I really liked it and enjoyed the first 3 attempts, I survived until 5:30-ish but that bug really screwed me.
Definitively gonna play that one! Specially with that name! you can check out my channel here. I'm posting your game's video tomorrow. Hope I made justice to your game. I struggled with translating some parts as I did them on the go and some were just plain impossible for my brain to understand and translate. I've been doing this youtube thing for 2 weeks now haha!
I found Pain Thing hilariously creepy and all your world's inhabitants scream "Hellraiser".
Got myself recording a playthrough (in spanish) of all the indie gems that often go underaprecciated and might post it today or tomorrow in my (really small) YT channel. I don't like to self-promote in the game's comments, so I might not post it here.
Edit: I just finished the game and OMG the reference to the Cenobites was just awesome (or at least I think you referenced them). I really loved your game. Specially the quotes from some of the Thanatonauts. I would love to see more from the world you have crafted here.
dude! That's pretty genius and now I feel dumb! But yeah, it is not that obvious you need to type, since there's no prompt to do so, maybe as you open the book have one of the thanatonauts in that room say "Start Typing" or something similar as to not break the atmosphere(?). Gonna go back into the game and check it out, maybe I can finish it now! Thanks for the tip!
