Hi Smexch! First of all, thank you for playing, I really enjoyed watching your gameplay! It was heartbreaking to see you die right before escaping 😄 The version you played was an earlier one. The latest build includes several improvements: the controls (especially third-person) have been refined, and there’s now full controller support. With these updates, the game feels a bit easier compared to the version you played. We aimed to recreate that classic old-school challenge. There are no checkpoints on purpose, but with some persistence and learning the patterns, escaping is definitely possible! I can’t wait to see you tackle the next chapter!

I saw there was a more recent update and seems the killer spawn change would have fixed that heartbreaking death 😂
Appreciate that you all did update it and made some quality of life changes, I'll have to give version 1.0.3 a try! In retrospect I agree, checkpoints would have ruined the challenge you were going for (which was executed beautifully, btw!), I think I was just being salty lol. It was very doable once learning the layout, the items needed and what to do with them, very rewarding when finally escaping.
Can't wait to tackle the next one!
