Hi there! Great atmosphere! I loved the attention to detail in the artwork. Art seems very cohesive, too, as scary as pixel art can be!
I was doing the tutorial when I noticed that the "holding your breath" mechanic has to do with the lighting circle around the player? It doesn't prevent the monsters to get to you, but it reduces the chances of an encounter, right? That's an interesting choice.
thought that it was really difficult not to get chased, even in the tutorial, but the difficulty didn't send me away! Fun experience!
