Nice visuals ! I think they fit well with the atmosphere you aimed to create, but I had some difficulty understanding how to play. However, great work !

Ok! So:

I think this game has potential. The mechanics are interesting, and the mixing of controlling parameters like in "Reigns" with "FNAF"-style micro-management works well and is pretty original.

The main issue is polish, for example:

- It's kinda hard to interact with things. Like the chair, or the lever when opening the door.

- The button scheme could be better, perhaps by a single interaction button for both sitting and standing up.

- The filters are a bit too strong. They definitely add to the atmosphere, but they also make shapes harder to distinguish (the low-resolution shader, in particular). I barely could see the bars on the PC screen.

- There need to be more sounds, specially with interactions, as feedback.

- Found the main menu music kinda obnoxious: I thought my speakers were peaking, lol.

Also, not sure if a bug, but I simply couldn't punch the intruder away.

On the good side:

- Mechanics like the intruder and the paper tasks worked nicely.

- Regardless of my filter comment above, the atmosphere was still well-done.

Fixing these issues will likely unlock the game's true form. Good job!

Very strong atmosphere! But i couldn't figure how to play, and failed. Maybe it's on purpose?

seems like a good idea is behind this but unfortunately i couldn't figure out the game so i think i failed miserably at playing it :P unless that was the purpose, then awesome!

Wow, this game has a really strong atmosphere. I really liked the visuals, but you might have gone a bit too far with making everything so dark. It could just be me, but sometimes it was a little hard to see. The leaderboard was a great idea because it pushed me to try harder, but the game was pretty difficult since I am not used to playing this type of game. Hope you keep working on it!

It took me a while to understand the game, and the visuals and sound created a really intense atmosphere. But despite that, the game is fun!
