Pros- 

Art style

 Atmosphere

 Commentator voice

 Cons- 

audio 

audio mixing

 No replayability 

No Menu

 I enjoyed the art style I was easily hooked into the setting you're placed in, the commentator voice is great, probably one of the only things that also saves this experience even if just a little. It lends to the atmosphere and the way the lines are delivered helps give you a feeling that you might not make it out anyway so I found that very enjoyable.

 As for the rest of the game I can honestly say this is a hard pass for me, the audio files that are used for the end when you die and everything else that isn't the voiceover is distorted and not mixed correctly. if you watch closely towards the beginning you can see me turn the volume up on my headphones because the commentators voice is so low that you can barely hear. when you watch my footage of the game and can hear the voice clearly its because I went in afterwards and brought up the levels of the voiceover and brought down the levels of the jump scares, the buzz saw and everything else that was just too loud. I don't mind a jump scare and welcome any manner of tactics to get the job done as long as its done correctly and here its just not executed correctly and the extremely loud audio could cause some ear damage if its done on the wrong person and I doubt that's your intention but it's definitely something you should be aware of. 

For example commercials you see on tv have to follow the "Loudness Compliance and the CALM Act" to ensure consumers aren't exposed to damaging levels of audio and I mention this as a precaution to you the developer, I'd honestly hate to see anyone put in a compromising position when you might not have even intended it. For the gameplay I would say that the walk animation doesn't fit the game to me its more distracting if anything, if the player is injured for some reason it is not made apparent at all and if its a design choice then it doesn't seem to fit with the game. The gameplay seems to not matter what you do no matter what you pick and I played through it twice to see if there's a different choice or outcome and there isn't, this pertains to both of the first minigames because I'm not gonna expect a maze to change every time. Whether the correct choices change every playthrough or its just made that way I don't know to say for sure but I was not interested in playing the game a third time to find out, personally I thinks its the latter of the two. Finally I don't think this game should be downloadable its way too small to warrant a download, I would say to put it on your webpage since the game is currently only 89.9 MB. A good example of this is another game on this site called Burger & Frights, the game is linear and short but the game is way more worthwhile, especially considering your game doesn't have a menu either and starts and closes abruptly. I think it would be beneficial for you since your game's page is honestly cool and simple but as is I honestly wouldn't recommend someone to play this.
