Really cool style, and a great concept! Had fun playing it :) Also, is the wallpaper a shining reference? If so, I love the detail!
Thanks! I'm glad you had fun, and YES it is a Shining reference!
Very simple but super creative concept for a horror game. It hits the sweet spot of stressful but engaging, and the visuals fit really well. Only feedback would be to telegraph the controls in the UI somehow. Great game and submission!
this was really fun! both the gameplay and the aesthetics :>
Controlling your breath is a very horror oriented gameplay mechanic, I like it. The controls for the breathing could've been made a bit more intuitive if you added a text saying: "Breathe Mouse 1", "Release Mouse 1" or something like that, because I had to check the game's description to know how to play. Other than that, breathtaking visuals (pun intended), good stuff!
So creepy, but I like the art :)
Really cool art, I would've liked more animations when the hallucinations appear and when you click on them, maybe audio feedback when you click on them too.
its pretty aesthetically pleasing, really cool concept !
Good game! When the shadows appeared, I got scared. I completed the entire night, and I like how it builds tension. The controls are really good, and now I’m left wanting more! 🕸️
a bit hard, the eyes are so hard to see and it easily overwhelms you with too much hallucinations before you can notice everything, and there goes all the progress, cool concept
I appreciate your feedback! Thanks for playing!
A very aesthetic and mesmerizing game. Falling asleep has never been this stressful for me before, hahaha. Simple yet intriguing gameplay—I really enjoyed it!
(Since the game is based on breathing, I like to imagine that with my left nostril, I'm doing a breathing square, and with my right, I'm shooting at the scary creatures through a straw, hahaha.)
Thanks for taking the time to comment and play, I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it! (the straw bit cracked me up too)
