Yooo I loved this!
I think your game design was flawless because I felt like I was playing a path laid out for me the entire time. For reasons I won’t spoil for others, upon finishing the game (3 good candies by the way hehe) I immediately realized I missed some stuff and played again. Took me a bit of time because I wandered around for longer than necessary, but I managed to get the second ending as well. I loved how the second playthrough introduces more lore and depth (and also that we get to see that you randomized the good/bad houses). When I completed the game I felt like I played the absolutely intended play through, so honestly great job! (Did I miss anything else?)
As a side bonus, you got me feeling dread/horror TWICE (it was at both endings) so that was awesome.
10/10 stuff. You really showed how you can make a great horror game that’s short and sweet (pun intended). Congrats!
