Game Description
A tiny proof of concept for a psychological horror game.
How does your game tie into the theme?
Would make more sense if it was a full game but the main character is hidden in another character and "unseen". The whole game is themed about being seen and percieved (in the only level you get chased because you were seen by the sun doing something wrong).

There isn't much to play at the moment, but the hand-drawn doodles combined with the 3D monster is a neat aesthetic.
Also, I encountered a really weird bug: for whatever reason, after the monster runs you over in the web build, the game shows me a bunch of black and pink squares (which I assume is a zoomed in view) and doesn't let me press "esc" to exit the pointer lock, or even take a screenshot, I had to turn off my computer via the power button.
I think the art style was really cool and definitely helps the game stand out!
I have a soft spot for games with childlike graphics given I make some myself. Only problem of course is the lack of content. If you put together a team and make this a full fledged game I'll be sure to check it out.
I adore the art and love the 2.5D look, I think the doodle-y artstyle combined with 3D world has massive appeal :D short and sweet experiment
I LOVED this art style, it is AMAZING, but, after the first level, where you use the car to drive over the man, all the textures broke, i dont know if it was a problem in the game or in my end, i would recomend you check it again, but just for the graficas, i already know you are very talented! :D
