Use of the limitation
Picking up the syringes of light makes you faster, which makes the game harder to handle and also there's a timer for a leaderboard in the comments. Also speed is the key out :0

I like the slenderman-style gameplay, I just didn't feel like I was in a rush until the person suddenly caught up. Good visuals/sounds, spooked me the first couple times.
Camera jumping all around, barely see anything and insta dying every 2 second :'V Bro I havent even had a chance to make an opinion. Make easier games. Good job on finishing the game tho and i like the concept
I like the idea of horror and finding your way being hard, good overally grim feel. It's still too hard for me, and hard to see what's up and what's down.
I found the controls a little difficult. Most notably the camera movement when moving the mouse was normalized rather than locked. So although the player would move faster, the camera held back the responsiveness. I like the 3D models, very stylized and look to be well made assets!
I really liked the atmosphere and the different rooms, but I could get very far due to the enemy/just getting disoriented.
My game had a similar concept (but 2D), so it was interesting to see a 3D horror take on the idea.
I maybe found a small bug? Sometimes I couldn't continue to rotate the camera with the mouse, like I had reached the bounds of the screen. This was in full screen on firefox, if that helps.
The monster/chaser quickly became more of an annoyance than a scare, the camera reset after being grabbed was quite disorientating and he sometimes respawned like 5 meters awary. I was once caught in a loop where in the time i reoriented the camera i got grabbed again, and it repeated at least five times in a row.
Thanks for the gameplay notes: the monster was supposed to spawn in a set spot in the map and if the player is within the monster spawn it would spawn the monster at another spot but in hindsight even though it’s a different spot the player is still in line of sight when it spawns. This coupled with the fact that I increased the speed probably didn’t help haha. If I have the chance to hotfix it I’ll set the other spawn further, increase the radius between the player and monster to set the monster to spawn 2 and maybe decrease the monster speed. I was also trying to give off a getting up from the ground effect with the camera orienting to the floor after captured but I can see how that can get annoying after a while. Thanks for playing!
No problem - trying to make sure i play and rate plenty games!
