Cool game! I liked how the enemies moved when you weren't looking, that was very spooky and a neat machinic. During my first playthrough, I got stuck in one of the trees and had to restart the game. Additionally,  i'm not sure if this was intentional or not. Still, if you never look at the enemies they will never kill you unless you physically walk into them which makes the game too easy in my opinion. Finally, I was kind of confused during the intro sequence for my first couple of plays (I thought it was a lag spike or something) because the girl doesn't always spawn in front of you. Great work!

Thanks for the review!
Yea I'm very new to Godot and I didn't know how to fix the clipping issues with the environment. I tried to fix the ones I could find in personal playthroughs but there are still quite a few spots that get you or the enemies stuck unfortunately. I'll do work on improving and doing better in future game jams!

Hey, I think you uploaded the wrong files. You uploaded the entire project and source code, when you should have uploaded just the executable and the .pck file. I do see that you have a Web export in there but the .pck file would be too big to run on Itch.io . So I would use the Windows Executable preset and then Zip the .exe and .pck file to let people download and play it.

I did load up the game and was able to play it. I thought that it was pretty good. The mechanics were pretty confusing at first but you did put some hints around the map that explained it a bit which was nice, and after I got the hang of them, the game was pretty fun. I could have used a little direction however on what I was supposed to do to escape. Overall though the game was fun and interesting.
