Was a really well done game! The spooks were well times with the gameplay (closing one's eyes to continue the night) and the sounds were very spooky! Really good , small and short game!
Although it was extremely short, It was very enjoyable! The timing for everything was amazing, the jumpscares really got me, and close eyes feature was very creative.. Speaking as somebody who has had experiences with sleep paralysis similar to this, this game made me feel uncomfy in the right way.. lol. 3.5/5 from me! Gameplay at 11:35
was a really creepy game But at one point nothing happened i don't know if that means i lost but time time kept going up. you could add like a creepy background music to make it more creepy.
This game was really creepy and I really liked it. I'm pretty sure I failed LOL but I was happy with failing. I jumped at the end even though it didn't look like much of a scare. I give this game a 4/5 stars and I definitely want to check out some more games from this dev. I included my gameplay in my 4 scary games video. here if my video if anyone is interested. the game starts at 10:31
as someone who experienced sleep paralysis. its a disturbing feeling. this game was good especially with the sound effects that made it a bit creepy, video is up on my channel if you wanna watch!
Pros and cons are down below) Check my vid here (the game is the 2d there, likes and subs are highly appreciated!):
Advantages:
Though, the concept of sleep paralysis is not new, the scares were pretty fresh. I didn't expect them and I think that's a big advantage for the game. I loved sound design as well, the knocking seemed realistic and very creepy!
Disadvantages:
The opening or closing the eyes didn't matter at all, except for the window moment. I think that the game would benefit a lot from making the player close the eyes from time to time. I mean, the last jumpscare could even be missed because of closed eyes. I think the game requires a bit more work and polish.
Overall:
I think that the game needs more polish) I feel that it was promising but the whole opening and closing eyes concept being "just there for no reason" kinda ruined the ambiance. I think that the game would benefit a lot from a more complicated opening/closing the eyes mechanic. Like in the game called Try to fall asleep. That game made it crucial for the player to keep their eyes closed as long as possible. Here it didn't really matter. I think that if you'd came up with a good reason for closing / opening the eyes the game would benefit a lot from that. As is, I'd rate this experience 4/5 stars. Still, I think it's promising and I can't wait to see more.
Thank you for playing and I greatly appreciate the feedback!
Spoilers ahead!
although it has come to my attention that most people usually miss the real ending, which you can get after closing and opening your eyes while the "thing" is standing at your doorstep. This is mostly my fault due to the small time allowance I have alloted to perform this action. Thank you!!
As someone who has been experiencing sleep paralysis for years now, I would say It's much more of a sudden fear. One that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up ever so slowly. Not know if the thing you see in the corner of your eye is really there or not, and the inability to move or even turn your head won't help as the thing gets closer to you. the only thing you can do is move your eye and make grunting sounds. The only thing that snaps you out of it is that fear threshold reaching its maximum as you gasp for air scanning every part of your room for any resemblance of the figure you thought... or you felt standing right beside you...
Well how short. Nice game and nice atmosphere. Made me a bit hesitant on the closing my eyes. I don't really think closing my eyes really continued the game though? I kept my eyes closed for only a second and then everything happened. Other than that, very unsettling short game. The aesthetic and low-quality type stuff make me jumpy.
Such a nice little bite of horror. True nightmare fuel. I'm not usually into games that are this short, but this one fits a lot of ambience and fear into a 3 minute playthrough. Great job!
Thanks for making this game OBO, I appreciate all the details you put to this game for it being super short, the panic effect on the character really stood out and the jumpscare certainly got me good. Thanks for replicating what sleep paralysis would be, a terrifying thing for those who have it. Your game is the first one in my video:

This was a quick fun game, good atmosphere, good scares and decent timing. defiantly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick scare.
