This is a nifty concept which is pretty eerie :3 I guess I should put the rest under spoilers just to be extra safe!

SPOILERS

Love that glitchy background :D And the theme is something I've always found fascinating and terrifying in equal measure, haha. One of my favourite movies/plays of all time is Ghost Stories, and if you happen to know the way it ends, you'll know why I'm making that connection :3

Also, since it was mentioned in the game, I have to say that I experienced sleep paralysis once, and it was probably the most horrifying feeling I've ever felt in my life! It was like this overwhelming sense of dread, like I was being both stretched and crushed at the same time and there was nothing I could do about it. Afterwards, I sort of thought it was pretty cool looking back on it, haha. But I sure wouldn't be in a rush to experience it again because at the time, it was terrifying x3

Good luck with development! :3

This game does a great job of creating a tense, terrifying atmosphere.

It crashed at the end and I got excited, thinking it was intentional. But it was just a syntax error in your last line.

The experience of this was very cool! I'm excited to see what more you come up with. Even without sound, the dread of the situation crawled on my skin. Good work -M
