I can't even lie; I was definitely expecting a jump scare. You set everything up for there to be one, but I think your ability to remain reserved and allow the tension to do all the work is commendable. This game comes across as much more mature than many others on this website because of that. Admittedly, I do think one would benefit this game more than it would hurt it, but you were able to nail the most difficult part of "horror," so I'd imagine your future games will be even better.
Thanks for making games!
