As somebody who played this during 4:00 AM where I'm from, I was literally terrified while playing this game! The vibe that was set up with the art and the audio is just phenomenal! It was a masterful use of both visual and audio conveyance to create the atmosphere that you did, well done! It was quite the build up as you tried to explore the darkness and searched decrepit buildings, but yeah, the ending left a lot to be desired. I still think this was a really cool experience that had me trembling in the beginning! Overall, this was really cool and I enjoyed it a lot! I don't really play that much horror games, but this had me hooked in the beginning! I had fun with this game and I hope you had fun making it too! Great work!

Great Atmosphere, but the ending was interesting, yet a let down with how random it feels in contrast to the rest of the game.

Grim BeginningHey,
Loved the atmosphere, and especially with the hand drawn controls & menu. The story telling was also really cool. The only thing that put me off was the final screen that you see. It felt a bit goofy and I couldn't help but laugh, which felt at odds with the rest of the atmosphere you've built up.
Just a small thing, I would recommend building it for the WebGL platform so you can play it in browser. The effort of downloading & trusting an executable can be a barrier to entry for people wanting to rate a game.
I agree with monnierant with the flashlight. Also having the flashlight & other lights have some random flickering I think would help to add to the already great atmosphere.

Death is nothing but a DoorThe game looks nice. The spooky music and atmosphere was good.
There was a problem with the UI. Those buttons on the corner where off screen.
Overall it's good.

Angel of the UndeadHi
It's a very good game, story telling is good.
I think that the flash light could turn on all the time or with a reload bar. (a cool down)
Because here i just press F all the time.
By the way even with a dev drawing it's a good visual atmosphere.
It's a very good game.
