I realy had fun!

Really nice little game. Feels a little bit like FNAF.

This was a fun game! The art style and game play fit together really well. It was fun and would make a great mobile game.

Great game, was nice and challenging but not too difficult. I liked the difficulty progression as the night wore on and some of the changes were subtle enough that you had to have your full focus on the scene. Really great concept and nice smooth implementation!

The art is awesome and I think you made a really nice game here. Loved it when the chair moved out and the whole mechanics to the game in general

Great game, I love the pixel art so much!

I just rated your game, maybe you can do the same on mine ^_^

Cool idea and execution, really immersive !

It felt a bit too hard, feedbacks and some balancing like others said would make it perfect. 

Great entry !!

Very good idea ! It has some "I'm on observation duty" vibes,  that's a very interesting concept, and quite a unique way of handling the theme =).

I would have loved a little progress bar representing the cooldown of the lights and cover (and, maybe, what if the cover hid the screen, since you're under the blankets, making it hard to know what changed =p ?), but that's a really good entry ^^.

yeah I was heavily inspired by observation duty. I agree the cooldown bar is a good idea. I had thought about it but unfortunately ran out of time. If I ever come back to this I will definitely add it

Enjoyed this a lot!! Love the concept, really keeps you on your toes!  The subtle features where the chair slowly moves was awesome!!

Only feedback I'd have was I wasn't sure what I did wrong when I died. Having something tell you cause of failure would be awesome, so you know to watch for it more! 

Really enjoyed this and would be interested to see how you could expand on it!!

that's a good idea thank you

Great idea! The ending got kinda too tough in my opinion and the cooldowns for the lights are waaaay to long ( or is it that the cooldowns get higher the closer you are to 6AM)? I really liked the concept tho!

Dream Jump - Where is the Dog?

I really enjoyed playing this game! It was not too hard and also not to easy. Even though the cars and the laptop got me quite a few times. Maybe it was the bad lighting in my room, but I had some difficulty seeing the shadow that starts to appear after some time but all in all this game is definitely one of my favourites so far!

Thanks you! I definitely agree that the shadow is a little too difficult.

Really cool game. It reminds me of Five Nights at Freddys (atleast kind of). Especially the audio and graphics are really atmospheric.
