I've just recorded my video on this game, there are both positives and negatives I can list which I think can help you improve the experience for the next game.

Pros: 

1. I loved the thing that was covered up in the storage room, it really added tension and it didn't need to do anything in order to make the player feel that. I was constantly wondering whether it was still there, what is hiding under there or whether it would move rooms etc.

2. I also did enjoy the music although it was simple it achieved its goal of making me feel uncomfortable.

3. I really liked the visuals although it isn't the top textures etc, I love that style which reminds me of Fears To Fathom. Although some models such as that for the mop could be improved on significantly.

Cons: 

1. I got soft locked after exploring the garden as I got stuck in the pool and had to restart from the beginning.

2.The dialogue doesn't really feel immersive, ESPECIALLY the moment where the character we play mentions his grandma killing herself because of the 'shitty' house. It feels a bit ignorant but I'm sure that was not the intention.

3.I was hoping to see the clown a bit more to be honest, as we only see him twice, once when he's in the garden and again when he's chasing you.  I do understand it is a short game but just a note :)

4. Pouring the gasoline on the house is extremely difficult when being chased by him, I'd recommend making the pouring a lot shorter or instant.

5.Final thing, I would've loved for there to be more of a story behind this clown and to have been able to explore its house.

How did he get there?

Is it human?

Overall the game was okay, I did read another comment made and saw it was your first game and as a first game with the time limit you had you should be proud. I really hope you improve on the next one and I'm sure that if you REALLY enjoy making games then you will improve. Don't give up and don't take criticisms as a failure, take it as a lesson for the next game :)
