Sleep paralysis is a great fit for the jam, good job on the concept! The style is effective and spooky, I also like how you have little control over your body, you represented it rather well. Good job!

Out of ReachOh man! Honestly the game is really scary, The atmosphere created is really good.
I had problems with mashing buttons (First mashing sequence) as I am not that great with the keyboard. U could may be add a short timer to give some time for the player.
Rest is awesome mate.

Brain Dead ShooterThis feels like a game teeming with ambition. The visuals were wonderfully minimalist and spooky, it's just a shame that I struggled to get very far in your game. A way to skip text or quickly reset would have helped me a lot. The very idea of turning sleep paralysis into a game (very fitting of the theme, too!) is a really wild and one that I could get fully behind. Of the 60+ games I've played for this jam I can safely say Monster is pretty dang unique.

SmahtCahReally moody atmosphere, but I guess it too hard for me to progress. Well made

DRIVEN-OutOfKEYSI tried sooo hard to break from sleep paralysis but I could not escape it. I guess you could say that... I'm out of control ! Anyway, it's nicely done, I'm unable to do a 3D game in a game jam, so you a great job !

The Cleaner's curseI really like the concept of sleep paralysis and the fact that you can't control your body even though you try your hardest. I was kind of confused on what to do when trying to hold your breath, so I did not do very well lol. Great game and great Idea!

A Drunk Thief [GMTK 2020]I couldn't accurately button press myself awake! But the concept is great; there's something really viscerally disturbing about sleep paralysis and I think you did really well conveying it for a 48 hour game. Additionally can honestly say I haven't seen this idea elsewhere.

WoodFireThe game is definitely spoopy, but like others had noted it is too hard to get out of paralysis and the overlay needs to be anchored to the corners. Still existentially dreadful and I love it

Don't Let Dan DieLike others have said, your game has a great atmosphere and the mounting pressure of getting the key buttons correct adds to the suspense. The three things I would change are:
- I wish the key mashing was slightly more forgiving.
- I couldn't find an obvious restart button which meant I had to close and open the game
- The raw image grey filter wasn't anchored to fit the whole screen so I got some small border around my game. (I was playing on a 1440p monitor)

Green DaysI love the idea – kudos to you. Excellently creative. The big problem is that I didn't have any fun while playing. As an artistic experience, though - amazing! :)
