I liked the atmosphere and flow!  Nice work!

Developer

Thank you man! Nice video btw! It really means a lot to see people playing my games :)

This was very good.  I liked the atmosphere created with the sounds and choice of rendering.  I also liked the controls - the way the camera tilted as you ran.  I also liked the point where something is introduced suddenly.  (Trying to be vague to not spoil it.)  I guess if I had a small critique would be the mouse look was not sensitive enough for me.  But I quickly forgot about that after getting into the game.  So, good job!

Developer

Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it! Glad you liked it

I tried this and 17 other entries from the scream jam. Jack's Bday is #9 in the video. I like the lightness of it. Such a friendly little horror game. Oh boy those long corridors and that repetitive footstep though...
Developer

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry for those corridors, it was just for the tension lol. Great video!

I saw your post on Discord, so came to check this out :3 I'm trying to play as many of everyone's games as possible, but I don't really have a particular order. Just attempting to play 10+ a day!

I like stuff that gives you the creepy vibes without loads of jump scares :D I love horror in general, but in horror games where I know I have to fight stuff, I struggle to play em cos of being terrified xD It's weird cos I don't jump at scare attractions or horror movies, but I think it's different with games cos you're kinda responsible for the character you're playing as, and I don't want em to die, haha. 

This was nice cos it had the creepy factor where I was curious to find out what was going on, but it didn't make me do anything too stressful :3

Very nice work! I have to admit that it gave me gooseflesh! 

Furthermore, I felt "P.T." vibes in your game, and I really liked the retro style of the graphics!
