Overall, I really enjoyed the game. The atmosphere is extremely well done and pulled me in right from the start. It was genuinely fun to play. The idea with the TV show, and how it even guides the player at times, is very creative and makes the game stand out.

There were also moments where I actually laughed, which is something I don’t often experience in horror games. That made the game not only tense but also very entertaining. The mix of horror and humor works surprisingly well. Sure, the humor does reduce the scare factor a bit, but without it, the game wouldn’t feel as unique or memorable. It gave me strong Scary Movie vibes.

It’s also really impressive how much you managed to get out of such a small environment  basically just a two-room apartment. That shows strong level design and clever use of space. Another thing worth mentioning is that you created most of the assets yourselves, which is very impressive and definitely noticeable.

One small criticism is that it’s somewhat noticeable that AI was used for the poster and possibly some background elements. Personally, I find that a bit unfortunate, because your skills in art are clearly there  especially visible in the 3D assets you created yourselves.

What I would really love to see is a longer game built around this exact style, with more polish and fully leaning into this kind of absurd, ā€œScary Movieā€-type humor. That kind of humor is still very rare in games, and you clearly showed that it can work really well. I think there’s a lot of potential here for something bigger.

That said, the positives clearly outweigh everything else. The creativity, the execution, and especially the combination of horror and humor really stand out. You can tell a lot of work and smart design went into this game.

The long awaited comment!!

Scary Movie was 100% an inspiration for the game. There's even a reference to it in the TV show during "The Scream" saying "Wazzup".

Reusing the environment for all the game was fully intentional because as you noted we built mostly everything ourselves. The poster and intro background was indeed placeholder AI that I just didn't get time to redo myself (I really didn't want to have it in that state)... Everything else used downscaled textures like in this video. I really wish I had more time, had so many more plans that I had to cut (like the TV was supposed to be fully animated).

I agree that funny/horror seems to be pretty rare. I kind of accidentally fell down this path because I felt the theme was REALLY dark initially and I wanted something that changed the pace a little.

Really thankful that you played and put your thoughtful feedback on this!
