Ok no sorry! Games like these just feels totally wrong to me, something that is purposefully messing around with folders, files, hiding in background and taking exclusive control of your device against the user will, jumpscaring you when you thought you turned the game off, this is basically malicious behaviour no matter if it is labeled as game. And this is also partly a reason why i am playing games like these on virtual pc, and i am now glad i did play this game on virtual. Maybe i am paranoid, say whatever you want, but this game is really crossing the line, none developer should ever cross, ever!

Sorry if my game is crossing the line, maybe I should have kept constrained to the game folder as many games do that. I may have crossed the line a little, my apologies. But the game is really harmless. This is my first time making these type of games. Lesson Learnt!!
Thank you for the feedback!! Please leave a rating.
Yes, atleast in the same folder if you insist on that. But that background running is still too much. Take a look on this game, which has kinda similar theme i think: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-13/rate/3333123 But everything is done in the game, which is then totally fine by me (so when you shut the game off, you really know it is off).
I cant really leave the rating here, as it would not really be fair. Because the main thing I remember from the game was the urge to really shut down the program and searching thru the task manager for any left processes.
I understand your concern. The game I made was inspired by games like IMSCARED on Steam, which also use minimizing and unconventional game window behavior to create a specific atmosphere. I apologize that my implementation caused you distress.
I want to be very clear: my game is not intended to persist in the background after closing. When you close the game window, all related processes should terminate. If you experienced otherwise, it was unintended, and I will investigate and fix it immediately.
You can close the game by HOLDING Alt + Tab to select the window and closing it.
I understand that manipulating files and processes can be perceived as crossing a line. I will take your feedback seriously and work to make the game less intrusive. In future updates, I will consider adding a clear warning about the game's behavior.
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you taking the time to help me improve my game.
