Really good job on this! While I disagree on the mind unraveling part you said in the description, everything checks for me!
The audio was great and very immersive. Visuals are nice, but because of the objectives showing in the screen, it distracts you a bit from it and breaks a bit the immersion for me. I think assigning a button for it like TAB to show everything would have been great.
Now for the important part... Most of the scary parts where the girl shows up are quite boring and bland. First time we see her and all the eyes around us, and well... Nothing really extreme happens! I was very much expecting for something like static to appear and then she would disappear or that we would start seeing hallucinations (images showing up in our screen) and then when they stop, she wouldn't be there...
I just think seeing her right in our faces and THEN her disappearing out of nowhere is quite a turn-off.
The game still offered me a nice experience so no reason to give you four stars. Good luck with future releases, and I'm definitely checking out your other games. ;p
Oh! There's a bug that if you finish and start the game again in the same session, if you try to turn on the lights the MC will say it's useless to turn then on instead of the usual dialogue. It doesn't soft-lock you in any way, but I thought I would let you know either way.
