Pretty cool! I liked the typing mechanic, thought that was pretty clever. Well done!

How does the game fit the theme?
You are in game jam inception, the deadline for the jam is coming up, you have to submit your game in time. Nothing can go wrong.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Some audio was pulled from pixabay and about 20% of 3d models were pre existing cg trader models.

Woah, that was actually crazy. Atmosphere was perfect. Everything looked good and consistent. Sound was great. I look forward to the other episodes!
Really interesting the idea of getting into a horror game that the protagonist is participating of the current game jam.
Three things I did a lot in this game. Scream, die, and curse the intro. Haha. Overall a masterpiece...
Very enjoyable game! Good atmosphere. Nice sound effects. Well done! My only request--let us skip the intro! Please! lol watching it every time I have to restart is painful. Other than that small issue, great game!
The atmosphere is amazing! You created a great tone! Right away! Enjoyed it alot! It has alot of personally and great aesthetics!
If he wanted to watch all he had to do was say so...
Fun little game, the house looks great, love the aesthetic. Would love checkpoints, doing a full restart does not spark joy but it's short enough that it wasn't too bad. The only thing is that the shower turning on thing could be a little clearer. My first instinct was to interact with the shower curtain to open it or something but I didn't see any way to do so. Just leaving the bathroom and going to your bedroom being the solution is very strange, not sure if intentional or bug.
Otherwise, I liked it and would be interested in seeing more!
Firstly, thank you for the feedback and for giving it multiple goes. We are looking at a checkpoint system in future episodes for sure (this plagued us in our own development testing lol). As far as the shower, current design was intended sorry there was no pay off there. We'll make sure to keep the 3 act approach to every scenario in the future. Thanks again!
This was the first game I saw on the submission page to check out, but I never really got around to it until now. Love the atmoshpere, its realllllly nice! I think its definitely worth to continue developing so good luck with that, and also the humor was really great XD, also great audio!
Well done, keep up gamedev!
The brackeys appearance got a laugh out of me. I wish it was a bit more lenient after death to retry where you left off. Really nice story!
Yeah I think in the future we may have a timer if the current objective has not been met, it'll reiterate the dialogue to drive it home. I'm wary of putting stuff like highlighted object or arrows as it may break immersion. But that's a good observation and reinforces that we need to visit that system.
i was expecting the game scar me a bit but rather it feels like home haha
nicely made horror game with a creepy aura to it so great work on audio,i did enjoy the funky 4th wall breaks.
