This was a little hard to play, but I really enjoyed the look of it. At first there was just a guy chilling next to me, so I assumed he was my brother. Then he started following me and chilling with me, so I was like "Oh, hey!" He followed me for a while and didn't bother me. Then he choked me out a few times and then stopped and wandered around. I wasn't able to get terribly far but I would have liked to. I just noticed there is a walkthrough and I'm not terribly sure I'd have been able to get that far on my own.

Hi, thanks for trying our game!
Yep, that's totally fair. I think that making the gameplay clearer is definitely our number one priority for future updates. I was trying to lean into the idea of putting the player in a situation and letting them figure things out on the fly - very much inspired by the PT "Silent Hills" demo, but ultimately I think it's definitely just too opaque.
Thanks again for giving our game a shot and for the feedback!
No problem, I hope you do keep working on it. If you don't mind my saying so, you might want to work on the character movement a little bit. Out of anything, that was really what made me enjoy playing the least. The writing was great, the graphics were fantastic, but the movement felt a little weird.
