TLDR; At times tedious, but overall a tense experience that captures the look of Steamboat Willie perfectly!

I have to say that coming into this, I wasn't expecting much. Truthfully I thought that this was going to be another low quality, zero passion, minimal effort horror game looking to cash in on the now public domain mouse. 

However by the time that I beat it, I was pleasantly surprised. I found myself on edge throughout my playtime, and I even jumped a few times surprisingly. It wasn't a jumpscare fest like I was expecting and I quite appreciate that.

I will say that it did grow a little tedious at times. Repeating the same tasks over and over felt boring and sadly there isn't much of a reward for doing so. I feel like if we got more time exploring the descent from Willie's normal cheery attitude to starving animal the gameplay would feel more engaging.

I will also say that the section where you are told to get the potatoes but in reality need to leave the area to go back to Willie could use some clarification? I feel like an average player would get confused and even frustrated trying to figure out what to do. 

Lastly, and I am not sure if this was a bug or not, but as seen in my video Willie did not give that 3 second head start he was talking about. Was that because I wasn't sneaking or something? Also there was a bug where Willie killed me through a wall when I was trying to hide from him as well.

Despite those issues though, I think this is an overall well made game that clearly had time, effort, and love put into it! This take on a horror story on Steamboat Willie is a breath of fresh air that I did enjoy and highly recommend. 

Thank you for making this, and I hope to see more of your work in the future!
