Simple yet effective. Really addictive gameplay loop. Failed a couple times but wanted to keep going to see if I can win this. Got 12 points in the end. Well done Johnas :)

I didn't see that jumpscare coming, you got me. The game is very atmospheric especially with that old windows UI and you even have a small lore, but there are things that I would like to point out. First of all it would be good if you gave me hints on what to do. It took me a while to figure out that I need to type out the exact same text, at first I thought it is some sort of riddle. Also I couldn't figure out how to use flashlight so I lost. Lastly some feedback on where I typed the text wrong would be nice because one tiny mistake and I have to look through the whole text to find my mistake. But that being said it is a cool submission, I liked it.
Okay I am trying to run this. I have python installed but not pygame. I will be back when it works
Edit: I managed to install pygame and run the game but I think the game was broken. It kept showing "click to play" screen and when I click it it loads bunch of sprites and goes back to click to play screen again.
The graphics are gorgeous and the fact that you have done it all by yourself in the jam period is mad impressive. You clearly put a lot of effort into this game but there are things that spoil the fun.
- Camera sensitivity is too high
- FOV is too low. Makes it harder to see what is going on around you
- Character is extremely slow
If you fix the problems above and maybe add some sound effects I am sure it will be a fun experience.
The game is very atmospheric with all the cinematic sounds and I like the hear sound mechanic.
I encountered a bug though. In the end I reached a sign showing "to the city" and a promopt wit text "walk away" appeared but when I press Space nothing happens so I am basically stuck in the same area. Also you can spam j and k quickly to move as fast as you can press those buttons. All in all good submission.
The game is so fun and addictive and it is so cool that you made a leaderboard for a gamejam game.
It took me a while to figure out I have to defend the spider so it seemed I keep losing randomly. Also I like the fact that it forces you to move while also trying to defend the spider. I tried my hardest to get to the leaderboard but either the game is hard or I am bad at this.
