A great representation of irrational urges that are used to come into our brains at the worst moments, a really serious topic.
Not a Contestant is also a great name in my opinion, presents the idea by itself and is not similar to anything I've heard before honestly. Audio and gameplay need some polish but I think I got the point you are trying to convey! The art style is cool (loved the cover art too!) but I personally think there is too much dark and light contrast, maybe you could try with patterns, coloring and trasparencies to represent the visual range of the guards. Like "red lanterns" or so.
