Definitely recommend! This game makes it fun to drive around picking up trash while also telling a story with no other characters you interact with, using the the town of Redville as its own characters to tell the story through envelopes and slight changes in the scenery I really enjoyed my time! Thank you for making this game!

This is a great start! Also don't worry if your game looks like another game because everybody take inspiration from something especially the big game developers all that matters is that your game has its own character. Most games nowadays have the advantage of looking this good so use that to your full extent I can't wait to see more.
Pros-
Art style
Atmosphere
Commentator voice
Cons-
audio
audio mixing
No replayability
No Menu
I enjoyed the art style I was easily hooked into the setting you're placed in, the commentator voice is great, probably one of the only things that also saves this experience even if just a little. It lends to the atmosphere and the way the lines are delivered helps give you a feeling that you might not make it out anyway so I found that very enjoyable.
As for the rest of the game I can honestly say this is a hard pass for me, the audio files that are used for the end when you die and everything else that isn't the voiceover is distorted and not mixed correctly. if you watch closely towards the beginning you can see me turn the volume up on my headphones because the commentators voice is so low that you can barely hear. when you watch my footage of the game and can hear the voice clearly its because I went in afterwards and brought up the levels of the voiceover and brought down the levels of the jump scares, the buzz saw and everything else that was just too loud. I don't mind a jump scare and welcome any manner of tactics to get the job done as long as its done correctly and here its just not executed correctly and the extremely loud audio could cause some ear damage if its done on the wrong person and I doubt that's your intention but it's definitely something you should be aware of.
For example commercials you see on tv have to follow the "Loudness Compliance and the CALM Act" to ensure consumers aren't exposed to damaging levels of audio and I mention this as a precaution to you the developer, I'd honestly hate to see anyone put in a compromising position when you might not have even intended it. For the gameplay I would say that the walk animation doesn't fit the game to me its more distracting if anything, if the player is injured for some reason it is not made apparent at all and if its a design choice then it doesn't seem to fit with the game. The gameplay seems to not matter what you do no matter what you pick and I played through it twice to see if there's a different choice or outcome and there isn't, this pertains to both of the first minigames because I'm not gonna expect a maze to change every time. Whether the correct choices change every playthrough or its just made that way I don't know to say for sure but I was not interested in playing the game a third time to find out, personally I thinks its the latter of the two. Finally I don't think this game should be downloadable its way too small to warrant a download, I would say to put it on your webpage since the game is currently only 89.9 MB. A good example of this is another game on this site called Burger & Frights, the game is linear and short but the game is way more worthwhile, especially considering your game doesn't have a menu either and starts and closes abruptly. I think it would be beneficial for you since your game's page is honestly cool and simple but as is I honestly wouldn't recommend someone to play this.
Please help me get to 100 subs! I like this game but I want more presence of Hayami. I think Hayami's presence makes the experience more jarring from her anime look in tandem with her appearing randomly walking outside. I feel as though there should be more things to do in between. Cont. in the description.
I'm glad you were able to fix that with chucky being on top of me since he has to approach me to stab. I'm glad the experience wasn't dampened for anyone else but it unfortunately happened whether it was just me or just someone else. The Flashlight issue also happened to me twice in that same video, which is why I had to replay the game twice to make it back to where I was at. Also saying I pressed it "directly" doesn't make sense no matter how many times you press the button, it should work I've seen that with Other games on this website. If you watched the video till the end you'd also noticed that I couldn't beat the game despite me getting chucky in the circle several different times and at different angles to make sure I was doing it correctly which you didn't address either, the main point of me addressing this is in the hopes that you can find it so that it doesn't happen to someone else, I still think the game is entertaining and worth the whole playthrough because of the direction it takes and the way you find certain items, a good example being finding the other half of the code by checking one of the paintings.
This Game was very interesting, seeing how much they did with what little is shown. The use of repetition always feels fresh by adding slight details The use of horror through creepy images eases you into the world you descend. The simple platforming is also reminiscent of ps1 games whether intentional or not, it ties the game together. Full response in the video description.
I liked how the game ended, it made you question more. The style of the game presents all these mysterious video clips and you wonder how its all connected. The music is phenomenal, the art direction and cinematography felt Resident Evil inspired, but it felt like its own story not a rip off. It's clear that this isn't finished but I hope to see more of this game.
