Fun game!
This is a really strong entry. It’s incredibly nerve racking trying to reach the end of the street without getting killed! The shader effects were also really cool and added a lot to the atmosphere. However I will say and I’m not sure if this was intentional or not but some of the text was hard to read because of the shader effects. Certain words I couldn’t make out at all.
It did take me a while to figure out that I needed to turn off my flashlight to move. Some guidance or a hint for that mechanic would have helped a lot.
The final run to the mailbox felt a bit too difficult in my opinion. It took me quite a few attempts to finish, and the ~30 second load time after each death made it feel a bit tedious.
I’m also not sure if I completed the game as intended. After getting back to the house following the chase, I accidentally fired my gun, which sent me back to the main menu.
As others have mentioned, the biggest issue is definitely the load times. Having to wait around 30 seconds between sections or after dying really interrupts the game’s flow.
Overall though, great work! The game was very entertaining and genuinely scary.
