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.
