Really cool idea! Wish I had an eye tracker to try this with. The skeletons that come by are hilarious and awesome. I'd love slightly tighter controls on desktop though, swinging the mouse around felt a little clunky :)

This was a real surprise :D I didn't really know what to expect when I downloaded it, but it was fun :3
Big fan of voice acting here, so enjoyed that! Some of the comedy made me smile too, haha.
Just when I was thinking, okay, this isn't too tough, that skeleton strolled in and I was like, oh that's cool, might be kinda distracting but it's neat. Then when it whacked the button I just pressed, my face went O.O Holy mother of?! Did you seriously just sabotage me?! x3 It was very amusing!
I got the bad end, haha. Not a huge fan of kids anyways so not too fussed that they didn't all make it :P Would love to see a maze that changes as you move through it in real life!

IMPOSTORCool, unique game that manages to make you feel stress and honestly got a chuckle out of me more than a few times. Think the pathfinding could have been improved, or maybe more obvious to the player what path the kids were going to take, there were a few times the kids just walked right into a skeleton. Also think the game is quite big considering the content, I wonder if some assets could be compressed to improve this. But like I said, really, really good!

Dissection ClassI really liked this submission. Love the whole game in a game mechanic and that skeleton coming along to ruin my strats. The comedy in the voice acting was really good and got a giggle out of me a few times.

The Hart Hill Report - A Ghost StoryGreat job! The FNAF vibe works really well here. You could have just made a 2D pathfinding game and been done with it, but I really appreciate that you encased that in a humorous story and world. It gave it a lot of flavor, and elevated this to a uniquely fun chaotic experience. That level of personality baked into the game makes a big difference when you've got nothing but a pumpkin between your kids and the skeletons, and the skeleton behind the TV is staring at the pumpkin button and you're laughing and shouting DON'T DO IT, DON'T DO IT at the screen. Top notch!
