Your visuals are good. It definitely looks like a creepy street. The terrifying music certainly fit well too.
I hope this comment doesn't come off as too harsh, I just want to offer constructive criticism and strictly my opinion. Speaking of which, let me preface my comment by saying I really don't like horror games. My husband and I both jumped in our chairs when the "man" popped up the first time. That's the point, I know, but we don't like fearing a literal heart attack.
Trying to put my anti-horror feelings aside, it was sort of interesting... a few things kind of ruined it a bit for me though. I really would have liked to be able to jump. The mouse movement was incredibly sensitive and the smallest movements sent my screen flying around. It made it really hard to look at/play and even when I tried to move infinitesimally small to avoid that, it was near impossible. The number of stars collected doesn't start over again after you die. Not sure if that was intentional? it makes it kind of easy to just die repeatedly and just get the first star or two over and over again. It feels like you would want to force the player to explore your whole world and collect 8 different stars. Also, when near the star, I didn't know what to do. It was hard to see the text on the bottom that said to left click it. I almost didn't see it because it was so incredibly teeny tiny. And really far down (maybe just because I have a large monitor...? Or perhaps it would be even worse on a smaller monitor... idk.) Sometimes I would die even when not looing at the man. If I looked at the ground etc near him I would still die. Also, I wouldn't always die if I looked at him. If he was far enough away I could just stare right at him and nothing would happen. You're not the only one doing a "golden rule of X" interpretation of the theme. But I don't get it. I don't understand that translation of the theme. (not just you, everyone who did. ) So to me, this isn't really a good fit with the theme.
It is very terrifying, which I am sure is what you were going for, so well done there! The vignette is super cool. I love the extra little touch it gives the game.
