Love the art style, it's very atmospheric and the wooden doll character works really well.   Sound design is cool too.

Hit a few issues (warning possible spoilers):

- Small camera glitch if you turn left under the stairs and go right into the corner under the stairs.

- I picked up the teddy then managed to drop it under the table in the downstairs hallway and couldn't retrieve it, not sure if it's essential to the gameplay to have it later.

- I found the platforming in the void really hard with mouse and keyboard.  I think part of the problem is from the camera angle it's sometimes hard to see how far into the screen you are.  Partly since some of the jumps are not aligned in x, y, or z direction they can be tricky without a controller allowing you to jump in any direction.  Partly me being a noob.  I eventually managed to get to the key but then when I realised I had to escape with it too I gave up.

- Frame rate was struggling a little bit on my (non-gaming) laptop.  This is the processor spec with built in gpu:

Some kind of settings to tweak the graphic quality to improve framerate might help.

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciated! I will have a look into those problems. I've been getting a lot of feedback that the void area is too difficult, I'm thinking about scrapping that chase bit and putting the key somewhere else. (Not many people have gotten to the end of the game which might be why.) I want to implement some settings like vsync and resolution etc... in the future. Thanks again for playing!
