This game is one of the first I’ve seen take a more cliché approach to the horror genre and pull it off successfully, to an extent of horror.
Outside of that extent, I was felt often feeling frustrated at figuring out where to go or what my goal even is. As well, the audio seemed to there but more reminding me of a detective-style soundtrack than a horror one.
Lastly, the game itself did have a bug as Branchi mentioned with “A” being bound to right. This made for very weird controls. As well, eventually, I got into the hallway where I assume she was supposed to get me. Instead, I ran into a room to avoid her. After this, the key only states “C” and I even tried to get myself killed by her but in the end could not seem to figure out the solution.
Overall, I feel this works for the target of cliché, but needs more much more polish and more clear instructions on what to do at a given moment.
The gameplay was a bit too slow. The controls were a bit bugged, the W key was also bound to right movement so you could never move left. Camera made me a bit motion sick, might have to do with the blur. It was atmospheric and I like the amount of effort you put into the hotel. There's also a bug when the monster lady runs at you but doesn't deal any damage. Afterwards you're put into an infinite hallway loop where you can't do anything to proceed the game...Good effort however!
Thanks for your feedback ! The infinite loop is not really infinite, you can solve this by make the good move :)
