This game is genuinely VERY SCARY to me!
I want to start out by saying that because I think with some tightening up this could be legendary... it's already really really scary, and when I wasn't running into issues I was extremely uncomfortable in a way I don't often feel... That's super impressive to me!
Skinamarink is one of my personal scariest horror movies, so this game being like an interactive skinamarink put such a huge pit in my stomach. It was very effective! I was relieved when I ran into a bug that seemed to prevent me from making progress... you succeeded so much in making a scary game that I was thrilled to have an excuse to stop.
That being said, I *did* run into a weird gamebreaking bug on the night when the house is on fire, where everything went gray and it became impossible to explore the house. It happened on reload multiple times... super weird!
The audio leveling seems a bit strange as well. I'm not sure how much of it is intentional, because it DID add to the horror... I had to turn up the game pretty loud to hear the sound effects, and when the intruders started screaming it became EXTREMELY loud. The audio situation admittedly DID work as horror for me because I truly felt out of control in that situation regarding the sounds, but audio controls are usually not the cause of horror in a horror game, so I dunno if other people would feel scared or just frustrated with that. Also, when I tried to turn the scream volume down, I could only turn it down to 50%. That's really funny if it's intentional, like you can't escape the horror, but I assume it's probably a bug.
Other than that, another small nitpick I have is with the controls and UI. Looking through the controls, there is a button listed for interact 1, interact 2, select, and TV select. If possible, it would be nice to consolidate all of this to one or two buttons - there was a moment while i was playing where I wasn't sure which of the interact buttons I needed to use.
Some of the goals were a bit unclear, but that kind of added to the horror a bit. I could see that being frustrating for some people, though.
Overall, I'm excited to see where this project goes! I think it could be really cool and I'm already very scared by it!
I played it here on stream around 3 minutes in:
