I liked this small little game even though I personally think it would be better suited to a horror Jam, as the corrospondance to Ignorance is Bliss is a bit loose at best to me personally.

This gam brought me back to the days of SAS: Zombie Assault, I defo feel like this game could be further developed with additional sound such as footsteps and some better sprities/textures.

For example, the cover art for your game is really interesting but well detailed and I would of liked to of seen a more detailed/grungy aesthetic for the gam that would tie in better with that cover.

The music and overall sound design for the game is also very good, it was a tense and did make me anxious to continu playing. But their is defineitly room for it to expand too. The "Jumpscare" is particularly underwhelming and would benefit with a revisit of new sounds.

Overall I think this is a fun little experience and I hope to see expanded on. Good Luck :)  

Thank you for the feedback!

The theme is explored through the player ignoring the monster to decrease their anxiety as not ignoring it meant that it increases and would cause you to fail sooner. But ignore it too much and it would find a way in. I agree it could be clearer.

The cover was done last minute by me as our artist was unavailable on the last day. I just generated a few images in midjourney and jumbled them together in photoshop with some colour adjustment and overlays so it doesn't match the game graphics. I was thinking more like the cover art for old game boxes which tended to be much more graphically detailed than the basic pixel art graphics the games had.

I didn't want jump scares to be a big part of the game so kept it toned down and wanted a more tense and suspenseful atmosphere instead, with it slowly coming to find you once inside. But I definitely could have made the final moment more of an actual jump scare.

I will see what I can come up with and release an update when the jam is over.

Appreciate your time!
