Let people know how long you've been working on the game
I started working on this game between the 6th and the 17th of December 2021, so, not that long ago. It was during a sick leave after a longer stay in the hospital (I really was bored and did not know what to do with my laptop in bed) and I tried to just finish it to a point people could play it.
I was not satisfied with it fully, though, and today I finally finished everything, fixed all the errors and even added several localizations I made with friends! I am very proud I managed to do this - thanks for the opportunity!

That was a genuinely creepy experience. Everything about it made me feel uneasy. I felt like my information was being harvested for some sinister purpose and would soon be used against me. I found myself responding to the questions truthfully out of fear of what might happen if I didn't. The aesthetic and sound design were suitably simple and evocative. I was definitely compelled to keep clicking to see where this would all lead. So, overall great job on creating an effective horror experience. Awesome!!

Developer

Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoyed the experience!

This game is very effective at implying horror, rather than outright showing. I really like the usage of responsiveness to some of the questions, which adds a nice feeling of being watched. The low hum in the background almost feels like a combination of both calmness and unease. Overall, I think the sound design is my favorite part of this game. Good work!

Developer

Thank you so much!

I enjoyed this a lot - and the sound & visuals were amazing. A lot of cool little details as well, like the window border stuff, the intentional glitches, etc. Great job

Developer

Thank you so much!

Hi Tanija, really cool experience. I found the questions to be very clever and cohesive with the uncanny feeling that I think you are aiming at. I think we sustain a common feeling of security and privacy when we are on our devices, and every time a medium plays with us and make us feel vulnerable on this side of the screen, you generate crazy amounts of anxiety, doesn't matter if one knows that everything is scripted. I just have compliments to give you about the quality of this project. Cheers!

Developer

Ahh, thank you! I always loved ARGs and games that play with reality and the player himself, so, it felt good to do something like that myself for once. :D

Well I'm not going to sleep tonight...I liked how all the long pauses and slow typing effect gradually made me more and more on edge. 

Developer

Job’s done for me then!

Sorry, I don't like atmosphere of this game. It uncomfortable.

Developer (1 edit)

Well, the game aims to play with this feeling a bit, because it’s a bit immersive.

I like that this is unsettling rather than just full on horror and that the sense of uneasiness grows the longer you're in there. Glitch art works so well for this game too. Like "Not Jam" below I was also second guessing my answers and I didn't know why, which was really interesting. Well done on making something creepy, but fun, and not using jump scares to do it.

I’m glad you enjoyed this unsettling experience! I put a lot of thought into the questions and outcomes. :)

Thank you!

This is so good! It's such a great concept and the execution is perfect, with a steady build in tension that never really lets up. The audio adds so much to this, the low drone in particular is just unsettling. 

There's so many subtle details I loved, like removing the close button towards the end which just messed with my head in the best way. I particularly liked some of the more abstract questions, like the Rorsarch tests, which really had me second guessing my answers for reasons I couldn't really define. Fantastic little creepy game :)

c'est d'autant plus facile avec mon user name très precis MDR.

J'ai ressenti un malaise quand le narrateur fais comme si il te caressait les cheveux. Je pense que tu peux encore plus aller dans le sens "t'imposer chez les joueurs" (entrer dans leurs initimité) pour les rendres mal a l'aise ca bien marché sur moi gg

Developer(+1)

Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire ! Je vais certainement développer cela dans d’autres jeux, mais pour l’instant, cela restera comme ma première expérience.

Well that's one way to scare a mentally unstable individual like me lmao

Thank you so much! Also, I hope it wasn’t too much of a scare, heh
