You got me with the jumpscare haha
The Janitor's design is very creepy!

Really cool game! I especially liked the game intro. And yes, I definitely got jump scared! Keep up the good work.

Submitted(+1)

The jumpscares have nothing on the sustained anxiety at the end there... 

I did get a bit of motion sickness from the movement, but overall a very fun little experience. 

Developer

That's interesting, what could've been improved to reduce the motion sickness ? I don't have it so I don't know what causes it ^^

Submitted(+1)

I am not 100% sure, but it usually only happens with first person type games, especially with narrow field of view and/or head bobbing and motion blur. Motion blur is the worst for me, but I suspect in thus case it might have been the bobbing of the chicken as I was running away the end. 

My ears basically disagree with my eyes, which causes motion sickness like feelings.

Developer

so maybe if I added a zoom in/out it would've been better ? 

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, I think so. I usually play games zoomed out all the way. Never clicked for me that this is why, I thought I just preferred it

Oh my god!! I got a jumpscare and fell off my chair! Amazing

I don't play a lot of spooky games so this was plenty spooky for me lol.  From the image I was expecting a little bit more inscryption like gameplay but I had a great time solving how to escape death.  I think you know this but on web the intro cinematic is a bit off timing wise.  Still had a great time.  Very creative and I love the theme interpretation too!

thank you for playing ! yes yes the web build has been a pain to setup, a few elements didn't make it like volumetric fog and some textures felt a bit weird, but I got advised to keep both versions there ^^ 

Submitted

Yeah it's totally playable and still looks great!  I like the details on the tiles and everything with the lighting coming off them looking very rough.  I only play games with web builds so yeah it's totally worth it but I hear ya on the extra headaches

LOVED the Beetlejuice inspired creatures / other world!

You actually got me with a jump scare which… I suppose isn’t that impressive because I’m pretty jumpy, but, great job!

Thanks for sharing on my stream!

The amount of chicken in this game jam is starting to get mortifying
