In what way does your game fit the theme?
Horror games are chaotic in general, but this game rewards players for getting attacked by spawning necessary items. However, getting attacked makes the monsters harder to escape from and ultimately leads to a loss, and thus chaos ensues!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, all the code is written by me and all the assets are modeled by me, with help from some tutorials and using cc0 textures.

I'll be honest, I am an absolute CHICKEN when it comes to single player horror games. So when it was your game's turn on stream (2nd one btw,) I was already afraid.  Even when using the broken build, I was crapping my pants. When it's at the point that simply having that random face png appear in front of me makes me scream xD

Yup. Ya made a horror game. Mission successful :)

I do need to rate the game using the original build, but it's still gives a great spook factor even if you know or not that the main monster isn't working. And yes, I'm too scared to try the fixed build xD

I watched the clip on twitch earlier today, it was too funny watching you wait for the monster to kill you even though it literally was not possible :)))

I also can't handle horror games and that's how the game got broken, I forgot to change a sign in the script but couldn't see the bug because I was too scared of getting jumpscared, so I turned the monster off until I built the game XD

Main monster is broken due to a spelling mistake, link with the same game but working monster is here https://we.tl/t-JCnaX0c9tP

Not relevant for rating, just so people can enjoy the game a little ^^
