My two playthroughs both ended in a softlock where one of the non-primary smileballs got trapped either in a necessary hallway or literally on top of the checkpoint. Great respect for the work on atmosphere, puzzle concepts, visual effects, sound design. Great work!

I felt watched but I continued to smile.
Awesome atmosphere, I love the glitch effect and the sound design.
Nice atmosphere, good sfx and visuals, definitely terrifying at times, I don't think the game was supposed to crash when I reached the room with the all the smiilies that chased you, but it fit the atmosphere of the game.
Very unsettling, well done on creating a very disturbing atmosphere!
The sound design in this is fantastic!!! The looming doom sound reminds me a lot of dead by daylight, really fun to experience and I'd love to see what more you could do with this idea. I love the idea of being forced to go through certain sections just to avoid the big evil smile dude. This def had me spooked quite a few times too!!! Great usage of sound seriously!! The ending felt a little crazy, like I like the idea but I think the ending might be a bit hard.
BYE BYE.
This had a clear goal and accomplished exactly what it advertised. It was surreal and I enjoyed it! Im not sure if the textures wigging out were intentional or not, but it worked regardless. I see you had the same issue with vertical camera control I did in OBAKE (I shut mine off because it would have messed with game play, but in this it kind of fits due to the surreal nature of the content). Great work!
I don't really understand what to so after meeting the big smiley man, trying to scare me :(
I tried every secret door but couldnt find the exit :(
But I liked the simple, but completed look of the game
so weired game!
i like i finally finished it (i was very scared!:D)
good job
