Good job! Dad found safe and sound :)

The walking animations didn't play when moving diagonally and they wouldn't stop immediately when I stopped moving. That being said, the visuals were cool. I like the black & white look and the mixing of stylistic art and real photos was very eerie.

The ambient sounds were nice, although the rain didn't loop properly, unfortunately.

The flashlight was cool. I realized I had a red variant, but I'm not sure what I was meant to do with it.

Neat submission.

Red one was supposed to have more mechanics and some discoverable secrets with an enemy and footprints on the floor but cut for time, thanks for playing! :)

Well made, simple game. The ambience was very nice. Getting a strong Rowan Atkinson vibe from the Adam portrait :) Puzzle at the end was simple but effective. Good job

I really liked the graphics and the ambience, i think flashlights could be used for some other gameplay mechanics. Overall nice job!

Nice entry! The graphics and ambiance are both very nice. I also liked the little enigma at the end, it was simple but original. Thanks for making this game :)
