I enjoyed the aesthetic, but the message was much too over the top. Watch a movie about being a gentleman? Character is practically wearing a top hat and a monocle. See scooter? Buy scooter. I like the overall gist of the message but not a fan of how obvious it was.
Well put together game mechanically, good job
There needs to be a better way to deliver plot exposition. The gameplay was: look around for a few seconds, click the mouse button, then proceed to sit and look at nothing for several minutes. Repeat.
I enjoyed the art direction, and appreciate the voice acting, and I'm sure there's a plot in here that I'll like but it got so boring to play
-Map is way too big. 95% of my time is holding W and after 10 minutes of basically nothing any immersion is lost
-Jump scare hoochie was fine herself but I felt it was unclear when to run away from scary lady vs when she's just popping in and out of existence.
-This might be completely a personal issue, but booting up the game glitched out my second monitor. Not sure how you would replicate this bug but a heads up
Good luck on the future dev :)
An absolute trip. Pretty remarkable for your first developed game tho
I had a crash in one of the level transitions, and the bass slamming my eardrums started to wear out it's welcome to the point that I turned the game audio basically off. I know that wasn't your intended direction but when there's EXTREME BASS NONSTOP NEVERENDING BAAAAAANG for more than 10-15 seconds it overtakes any experience you are creating and the player will try to get away from the sound, either by walking away from it or turning the sound off. Food for thought
I'll say that, as someone who didn't play Hayami Chan 1, the minute to minute gameplay is exceedingly drab. The premise itself was curious enough, and I feel the FNAF inspiration, but it was the main gameplay loop that was boring. The nightmare sequences were curious (I would have liked more stuff to do), the story was done well enough, and I adore the art direction. But man just holding down the mouse button to do paperwork until the 'stress' meter rose to a certain amount was a drag.
Hopefully don't take this the wrong way, just some feedback from my run, but the statue made me rage quit
-The scale of the map is a tad large for the amount of exploration. An increase of player speed or scale down of the map would help
-First person platforming? no thanks
-We could use a brightness setting or a glowier torch, the dark darks made it rough to see in the maze
-Puzzles and solutions could use a little more clarity and contextual clues
-The statue hoochie is too unforgiving. I she killed shot me and several others below and it seems maybe a location reset might be gentler, as well as a patch for her 'look at me' mechanic
Thanks for the experience, I appreciate your hard work :)
I dig it. The first person was jank in every sense of the word, but the rest was an intriguing teaser for the full release

Some complaints:
-Background sound is WAY TOO LOUD
-The seizure inducing flashing lights are a bit much
-The stair controls are a mess. I saw some other playthroughs below having the same issue, it feels like an elevator system or some other traversal mechanic other than holding down arrow keys in a wasd game would be more beneficial
-Some of the dialogue alpha settings seemed too low. The subtitles were occasionally too low
An interesting game premise nonetheless, I had some fun in it :)
