How does your game fit the theme?
SPOILER ALERT: you might want to play the game blind and come back to this after. SPOILER AHEADThe game is a "faux PSX creepypasta" escape room puzzle game, where at a certain point a message start appearing on screen prompting "player 02" to join the game. Only to subvert the expectation of "Joining Together" when a new player actually joins, and from then on the actual player has to use the split screen view to keep track of the mysterious new location, and avoid them at all costs!

Haha I loved that! Really wasn't sure what to expect, but I had a lot of fun.

That was seriously cool. Took me a bit to get into but I love the idea and I always have a lot of respect for good atmospheric design - let alone one that fits into a theme within 48 hours. Thank you for the horror of playing!

Although escape-room games are not really my type, I liked the atmosphere so much, I gave it more attempts. Sometimes I had troubles with the camera and in one occasion the monsters were stuck in each other so they didn’t follow me and I couldn’t see anything on the other cameras. Regardless, nice job!

Nice concept! The split screen feels really scary. The atmosphere is dark and retro. Nice job!

Okay it's a great idea !

Very clever, I think your interpretation of the theme is also very unique !

I hope Mr. Brown will see it because there is so much to say about this, from your "expectation deception" to the use of the "other player's" screens, and all this being kind of meta with the relashionship between what are player and characters inside games !

Shout-out !
