Hi! I found this through this Itch Randomiser.
Cool concept! I enjoyed the mechanism of exploring a maze to uncover the image to the right to find narrative beats.
I did just one run before leaving this comment, and will likely do another couple of runs to see if I can fully explore the images and find all the items and notes.
I especially liked:
The atmosphere. The ambient audio, footsteps, whispers, sounds coming and going as I moved around. It was cool.
It reminded me of both Silent Hill and perhaps.. Eternal Darkness.
Something I would have liked to see is a bit more downtime/pause between levels - leaving me on a black screen for even only a few seconds would have helped build anticipation and helped with pacing, i think. There didnt feel like much if any release in the tension, it was on from the start and didnt relax.
The whole time I was anticipating a jump scare - I think because it's common with itch indie horror games. I am not convinced you dont have something like that in the game - especially with the other noises I can hear while exploring.
I will report back after another play or two.
Nice project - This was the first one that grabbed my attention after about 10 random games that weren't really games or were not engaging. Well done.
