I like the sprites and the dithering, I would like more feedback when damaging the zombies and more movement.

Pretty survival game, especially when i realized that there is no escape )

The Depth of DreamsThis looks gorgeous and the concept is really cool. I was just really struggling to understand the gameplay. On my first try the character wouldn't move and a lot of the time my inputs dont really register. The writing is really nice though. And a granny in the apocalypse is certainly novel ^^

Abyss of KingsAbout the input registration, in the title (at the browser tab), it shows the framerate it's running, can you tell me how much it is for you? I am trying to think what else could it be, possibly the focus was not in the window the whole time somehow, I will try to use the Pointer Lock to be sure. And yeah, I really should work on the user interface/gameplay hints for the next iteration.
For the writing, I took quite some time editing with Chat GPT, to find the right tone, I would hardly be able to do without it.
I just uploaded a version with the framerate on the upper right corner of the screen. btw, are you playing in what system/browser?
About the issue of starting stuck, I think I got it, it was a bad interaction with the itch's iframe and keyboard focus, to workaround you had to click outside the window and on again to finally get the focus. I tried a fix, let's see if it solves the issue. The iframe was also the reason for the fps not showing in the title, pretty obvious.. but I didn't test enough on the itch's environment.
Well, thanks for the feedback! I will take some time to play the games now :)
