Awesome! I just came across this while browsing and thought it had so much potential to be cancelled, glad to hear that potential is being realized!

As someone who doesn't normally play horror games by himself, this was a really fun time! Gameplay loop is fun and forces you to play by Cobb's rules once he gets going. I think what this game lacks is a real way to make Cobb as an enemy scary to the player. I'm sure others have brought it up, but he really only scares you as a way to lose your progress. I think a couple of special rules to make Cobb more terrifying to deal with could help the horror aspect a lot! Maybe something like Cobb can Cloak where he remains invisible around the map until he notices you, or You can Hallucinate where staying in the dark will cause fake Cobbs to appear around you to make keeping track of the real one more scary?
Just some ideas I came up with on the fly that could be tweaked by someone who knows balancing better than I do
One neat thing that I figured out going through the night is that there are subtle hints on how to deal with some of the girls. For example, on the right side of the office is a plaque for Ari about being a "Mental Health Superstar". Figured out through trial and error that she relates to the sanity mechanic, and that was foreshadowed by that plaque. While I will admit that a little hint or phone call about new mechanics would be nice, I really do like how certain environmental elements help you to figure out how to deal with new threats
