The visuals are awesome, and the atmosfear was great as well. I jumped in my chair when I suddenly realised that there were more than one enemy, so I was really captivated, and basic survival instincts kicked in from the get go. 

It was a bit unclear what the actual gameplay was supposed to be, but once I died and saw the high score it was apparent that I was just supposed to stay alive for as long as possible. Perhaps that high score could be shown while playing, and counting up for as long as you are alive so you know the gameplay focus instantly. 

It was also a bit unclear how it was connected to the no jumping theme, even if you could jump that wouldn't really make anything easier for the player, but with some extensions to controls, and more ways to avoid the monsters, the connection might be more apparent.

Regardless, I was blown away with the quality, and specifically the capturing of the atmosfear, in just 48 hours. Nicely done!

Models and character controller works great and exactly as expected! I would mention how it's not optimized, but you can only do so much in 48 hours. Other than that, I'm not exactly sure what I'm supposed to do gameplay-wise? Right now it seems like the goal is just to survive, but I would add some kind of objective for the player to do so they don't get bored. Maybe add an item to pick up a la Slender 8 pages? Difficulty could ramp up based on that objective. Great work and love the spooky atmosphere!

Thank you very much for your feedback! Yes indeed, the gameplay is just to survive for now, but objectives is a nice addition that I want to add. I am working on optimizing performance and a fix is on the way. I will make sure to try out your submission in the jam!
