Neat story! The quick ramp up with the room transitions was probably my favorite part. The second half was a bit flowery but it worked. The face of the "friend" was pretty creepy to begin with so I definitely appreciated the later changes.

I like the slow build up from "oh no my dear friend" to "Ah. I see. I see so much."

The slow fade in of the monsters is neat, but I think the big thing that got me was the friend's face. It was really cool and unexpected and I think I would like more of that :D

Overall, a very enjoyable experience! The sound design was on point, the story was engaging and had a hint of mystery that kept me going! great entry!

Really liked the "one asset" approach taken here. I didn't see the man in the window at first until the text told me, so I think I need a bit more feedback on that? Also, I find it hard to distinguish between narration and the character's dialog since the former is only marked by tildes. Other than that, it's a really simple scary read!

Developer

That totally makes sense, I very much appreciate the feedback, thank you!

I really had fun playing this game. Cute art design. However, it's not very scary.

the music was really cool but it was kinda quiet and at times took away from the game it woulda been cool if the music faded at a point and such to build more suspense but i loved the art style i think thats what makes the game shine.

Developer

Totally hear you on the feedback about the music, given more time (and not being limited to just one single 6 minute audio asset for the O2A2 jam) I would definitely improve it like you suggested. Thanks for playing!

I think the music could have been louder. The low volume kinda lessened the atmosphere. Some scary sounds could have been cool along with the visuals.

The art was of course cool, especially (spoiler) the neon stuff. The scary face was decently scary too. Overall a nice submission.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, good to know the music could be louder, I was listening on loudspeakers so probably biased it too low lol. Thanks for checking it out!

Awesome art and suspense!
I was playing while I was sitting by the window. The game made me look back.
