Really fun and definitely and standout from the rest just due to the uniqueness of the idea! Could be really cool with roguelike elements, like the game Balatro if you've seen/played that!

Thank you! I actually had a mechanic that was somewhat of a rougelike element that I had to cut from the release, as it broke the damage system, it’s within the game files still.
I haven’t heard of Balatro but I’ll look it up here soon!
Good game and nice, dark visuals and atmoshpere, answered all questions :)
The music is simple but fitting, the UI is simple as well and in a good way for a horror quiz game.
One thing I would change I think is the style of the texts for readability. The questions felt a bit hard to read out. The shadow/outline and font color could be swapped or changed.

Thank you!
I actually wanted to stay away from style boxes as it would have messed with the panel visibility, however the font is something that's been brought up by a few people, Which in development I was already questioning if it was hard to read or not.
It's mostly just shadow/outline, which I will fix here in the near future!
