Great idea! I really liked hiding behind stuff, even if it never really became useful. The jump whenever the darkness gets you is AWESOME!

Scary game, it scared the crap out of me. I found the distorted audio a bit distracting at times,  but it did help to create the atmosphere. Great submission!

Solid gameplay loop, felt very well designed in terms of the behaviour of the enemy, because I feel it would have been very easy to get it wrong. The jumpscare aspect did not overdone or misused. The artstyle was pretty basic but, it is a short game jam. If you were to keep working on this, I would recommend more detailed artwork, and some sound design beyond just event noises. Great entry, enjoyed playing this one.

I don't see that many horror games in these jams, and this one was pretty fun. The asthetics are spooky and build tension well. The death jumpscare was effective too.

This game actually made me jump a few times, the world just feels devoid of life and really directly confronts you with the horror aspect. The simplicity of this type of horror really fits well with a short game, as it is direct and effective. I liked it!

Really scary, I really like the atmosphere build up at the start!

This game was an amazing experience to play. I loved every second of the gameplay, and the ending gave me chills.

Amazing work and i would love to see more of that

Fred almost gave me several heart attacks, but I really enjoyed the game. The art style, the sounds and the gameplay was all amazing :3

I loved the art direction of the game! The art style and the sound complimented each other very well. I'm very bad at horror like games and this game definitely spooked me out as the eldritch like face hovers over you while you hide from it. Was so happy when I finally got to the bed and the fun twist at the end.  I feel like the ending sprite of the game seemed kinda funny to me instead of spooky though, but I overall enjoyed the game a lot.

The art & atmosphere really spooked me out. I personally thought it would be nice to have some soft BGM at least when the monster appears. Overall, great work!

Spooky

I think it was good fun scary experience. I think the lack music, whether intentional or not, adds to the horror and feeling of uneasiness. The one thing that I felt was a cheap death is that the cone of sight is visible on the floor but not against the background of the night sky which killed a me a few times because I touched it without noticing it.

Beautiful art! Can't believe I got jumpscared on the first submission I played :')
