Nice game! A classic indie-horror.  Made me feel like Peter Pettigrew.  As far as I get it, you can beat the game by just being a mouse all the time, right? At least with this, I was able to beat the game

p.s. Hi from another solo dev! ^_^

Developer

Thanks for trying it out! ^_^ You could technically beat it like that but your character is much slower when its smaller and the jailers can catch up to you. Also, the jailers can detect you even if you are small, because the RayCast is coming from their feet XD, which means their 'eyes' are actually in their feet so they can see you even when you are small. 

Thanks for playing it and showing some love! <3

Okay first of all. IT'S FUN LOL ! I played with my friends and actually we got jumpscared together ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

The tutorial could be longer tho...

WHY YOU MAKE THE EXIT A BAIT ????

Great game <3

Developer

Thank you for playing the game SyNTaX <3. I am glad your friends liked it. I was working alone, so the tutorial was quite short, and even the level was short. I am glad you had fun! Haha, that bait was a last-second addition for fun!
