Very good atmospheric and for me it was creepy, but I broke the game :( I get the key, then release it from my hand and it just goes through the floor :(

I'm only going to comment on the visuals, because they are beyond gorgeous. Your writing is engaging, I think you can tell a good story, and craft a world to hold it.
But really, the visuals.. Man, I've always been a fan of that type of geometry and texturing, some of my all time favorites have used that to great success, it's timeless and super effective. The way you introduced modern PBR techniques into it without reducing the "retro" aesthetic a single bit, you just managed to make it that much better.
No exaggerated shadows and light/dark points on normal maps like you so often see in high contrast flashlight games like this. Everything is just tasteful and an easy 5/5 on the artistic score.
I'd love for you to maybe introduce proper physics into it as another modern addition, with the right tweaking on rigid bodies nowadays (and the simple geometry) you can do stuff in your level design they could only dream of back when this style was necessary.
This was awesome! The horror theme was done really well through the sound design and textures, and the level design really gave off a claustrophobic delving feeling and the notes were really interesting to read. I also really liked how the floating tutorial instructions looked
Only thing I didn't like was getting stuck on all the open doors when exploring
The horror theme was surprising to see in this jam and I liked that you managed to give the intended feeling. Sadly I couldn't find the key and couldn't see the end room :(
The aesthetic and the effects are amazing.
The collisions are a bit all over the place, got stuck in some places and key items would just fall out of existence.
I'm usually not a fan of horror, but this atmosphere was so cool. Hope to check the full version!
Spooky! You got the PS1 horror game aesthetic down pretty well. Reminds me a bit of Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion.
very spooky vibes in this one, i like it!
I love the comprehensive settings menu.
