the monster reminds me of my old sleep paralysis demon lol. I like the aesthetic and those whispers were spooky! The idea was nice, though I would sometimes lose my character off screen, and didn’t know what to do or how to do it for the first few minutes. Overall it’s a nice experience though. Good job on the game!

I found all the plushies but didn’t know where to go next :(

I really enjoyed the experience! Loved the aesthetics and the idea

At some points, I lost my character out of bounds and had to restart because I couldn’t get the child back on screen

At first, I was holding space to 'hold my breath' but eventually realized I needed to tap, maybe for the first encounter a small tutorial or UI hint could help explain the mechanic?

Overall, great work, congrats!

Great job on the atmosphere, spooky af. However, ran into some bugs where I couldn't move. Still liked the art style, the ambience and especially the character design.

Couldn't get too far into the game, but nice work on the vibes! Creepy look

Thank you so much for taking the time to play the game, record it, and provide feedback! We unfortunately didn't get time to fully test the game, so the video is appreciated.

The room you got stuck in is a pretty common spot of trouble, as the doors are pretty close together, and there are a few oversights/bugs.

Thanks again for the feedback; it will be used to develop a more polished version of the game :D

Struggled to understand what to do pass the second plush. Cool atmosphere though.

I like the art and the monster! Some of the text got clipped off by the edge of the screen

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to play! Aiming to develop a more polished build soon, so the feedback is appreciated :)

I managed to collect 2 Teddy bears, but couldn't finish the game. Very unique and atmospheric artstyle!

The game is good in its atmosphere, but not in its implementation. Interactivity seems to be scattered in random places, the monster attacks absolutely randomly. It was interesting to play this, but it is not clear how to win it.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback and taking the time to play our game!

Totally understandable. Unfortunately, we didn't set enough time to properly test the game and can see it's definitelty unlcear in areas on where to go/what to do. Aiming to work on it more and improve the functionality, clarity, and polish for a later version. 

Hope you enjoyed it :D

I like the ominous atmosphere of this game. Also I keep dying of this monstrous monster 😭😭

Thank you for the feedback and for taking the time to play! Our goal with the atmosphere was to evoke the fear of something lurking in a dark corner/room of your house at night. Glad you enjoyed it :D
