I had a fantastic experience playing your game! The Unreal environment was well utilized, and although I was worried at first that it might be a horror game (as I'm bad at those), I was glad to discover that it was a story about overcoming fears and doubts. Like someone else, I also got stuck in the furniture (between the front door and couch).

The tempo of the game was really good, and the music and voice worked together seamlessly as I progressed through the rooms. The doors caused some trouble for me, though. If it was intentional that players are not able to open certain doors at some point, giving some feedback when a player tries could be helpful. Overall, well done!

I think you made a really interesting narrative-driven experience. Very heartfelt. 

The house design felt very sterile, almost like it's a model home. While it's not the main focus, I feel like it could have more personality. 

I'm a huge fan of the transition between story beats, especially near the end when they are confronting their fear. 

Bonus points for making the UI clear and having the objectives obviously stated. Sure, there are some technical hiccups, but it didn't prevent me from finishing the game. 

Awesome work, and I wish you luck!
