This easily be expanded into a much larger game. One idea for an enemy is Eye Spy which you have to look at till he disappears. With some balancing and checks and some deep lore this would be a legendary horror game. Great Job :D

good but it glitched some times and I couldn't shock also I think it has more then 4 colors but over all, Great job 👍

No there are only four! I used 2 shades of black, but that was allowed. And I don't have white.

Submitted

Developer(+1)

one of my colors are black, so I used a different shade of black

The graphics are alright, and the concept is pretty good, even though it's pretty much a FNAF clone, lmao. Mostly just got annoyed by the jumpscares.

My biggest gripe is that dealing with multiple monsters at a time is impossible even with the shock mechanic, since if it's out while there's two pairs of monsters, you just have to get lucky. That combined with it taking forever just to get from one hour to the next made me too impatient to keep playing

I don't really understand why you can't hide or look under the bed while the blinds are closed, that'd make it easier to handle bedbug or the tall dude alongside the red guy.

Pretty decent game otherwise, though. Could use a bit of polish.

I love this game way to much

Okay, now I can sleep never again, because of that jump scare when that monster sees you through the window, but game is kinda fun, but I was really confused what did what, sometimes clicking the bed made go under the sheets and sometimes it made me check is there an monster under the bed, and the energy button lighted up so I could click it just some times, I couldn't click it even though there was a monster under my bed

Cool game, its just very slow to start with, and it gets repetitive due to how long it takes to get to 6am, if the game clock was faster it would be alot better. cool jumpscares and visuals , remind me of some old games I used to play as a kid on the days of flash

Incredibly difficult at times, the mechanics are there, but the fairness isn't, either way a great 'boogeyman' style game!

I get what you mean. I added the ability to shock a random enemy that is attacking you every 30 seconds. This way, if there are 2 or more enemies in the room, you can press the shock button to get rid of 1 of them. Thank you for your feedback!
