I love horror games. This was really atmospheric and I like that.

But I don't see how dice even fit into this. It was fun to run around the first 2 levels, but I didn't see anything at all relating to dice.

Also, the ladders are weird. I got stuck at the top of one, but when I released W to stop going forward, it like auto moved to the top? It was awkward.

I also never saw whatever it was that didn't like me. The atmosphere is great, but I was never caught or killed or anything, and second play through I went a lot slower and it wasn't nearly as scary because I was never gotten.

Player speed is already fast even without fast modifier, this make precision platforming a little bit awkward, and also as a horror game player usually don’t have that much speed.

The “RUN” level is not easy to go through because both the speed of player and the enemy. (Or perhaps I just have bad reflexes.)

Nice idea for the modifier roll, although in the current implementation it has near to no effect; maybe I just haven’t get to the part where the modifier matters.
