I can see what you were going for so I'll try not to be too harsh but I've a few gripes and potential improvements for the game.
The theme wasn't incorporated at all beyond a single throwaway line that doesn't have anything to do with the game itself, the story could have been completely cut from the game as it has almost no purpose in even building tension. Maybe a TV that's on mute that shows a newscaster clearly talking and then show a mugshot.
The controls are clunky and unwieldy. It's unfortunate as it was something that really ruined the game for me. I felt slow and unresponsive. And the final "scare" was just the scarecrow killer silently sliding into frame, it had no payoff or anything. Just go here, grab broom, put broom back, here comes the slide.
Positives though, the art style is fun, it's giving Baldy's Basics which is something that I know can be pretty scary with the right lighting
The scare with the scarecrow killer sliding by the window was a good attempt at building some quick tension and horror but since the big payoff comes immediately after that it ends up feeling cheapened by the whole experience, you definitely should have dragged it out some more.
Try again next time! Keep creating
