I somehow didn't expect this to be a horror game (noped out at "hold shift to run") HOWEVER I like the premise being presented here, and if I had the resilience to play through the whole thing, I just know I'd like the actual story if I got to see the whole thing. I'm sure this game is excellent, I'm just unfortunately not the target demo but I won't dock points for that.

Lol, bro... that was pretty dark at the end :(
I dont like jump scarse tho I think the atmoshpere was good without them as well. I think the best scare in the game was when I just checked the laptop and the guy was in there.
But good job on the game!
What a beautifully choreographed chase scene, truely. In all seriousness however it was fun to play a short horrorgame in a game jam. A lot of the game does feel a little janky and I understand that there is a story though it was not present in the game until the very end. But despite that, it's still very impressive for being done in the short time span. Good job.
The Game is good, i really liked it, but i think you should put more sound to it, like when the glass brokes you dont actually hear nothing. The game is creative and its an original way to appy the jam's theme and the ending is cool. (ps: the jumpscare made me shit my pants)
The jumpscare man. For something that looks so simple the atmosphere is pretty haunting. I actually did not know how to escape the floating eyeballs XD, I did retry a few times to no avail.
Nice take on the theme although a bit morbid. Kind of brave to handle such a topic in a jam. :D
I like the horror elements in the game even though I am not a fan of jumpscares. Although one of the biggest horror is the woodchip wallpaper (as a victim of that myself). XD
I can't play it on linux, how sad.

It was a Scary experience. When I saw the sign "Shift to run," I've got goosebumps all over my body. Nice game!
Nice! It's a good little horror game. I like the camera filter, gives a sweet retro vibe
It was good, I wish there were maybe some hints, but anyway I liked it!
I am not a huge fan of horror games, but this one rocks! I think that this game fits the theme of the jam quite well. If you like to create thoose type of games, i would recommend you to check out the CopperCube game engine. Anyway, great game!
The games narrative is okay, the audio work is exceptional! I didn’t understand what to do at the end though… All the side doors were stuck and I didn’t know what else to check. Maybe some sort of hint after the first 4/5 deaths would help? Anyways, awesome game and I wish you the best of luck in the game jam!
Also PS : I read the newspaper 😂😂😂

First jumpscare got me, haha. Neat little game with a cool theme.
