Hey, it's me from Insta! Had a great time playing this game and I was really impressed with the art style and sound design. Looks very polished given the timeframe too! Crazy what happened with you guys losing power. Really great job for still getting the submission in :)

Oh! This made me think of that game creaksbox or whatever it's called that those people made! Have you seen that? They also made little buddy move which is the cutest little game ever! Y'all did a great job! Truly a great experience!

Also I'd appreciate feedback on my submission if you get a chance!

That art is amazingg !! I found the gameplay a bit hard to get at first, I think it starts a bit too fast. But thats just minor thing. I like it !

Agreed, I updated the game to not have haunts for the first nightmare! To be updated after the rating period!

I really enjoyed my time with the game! The atmosphere is implemented really well!
Some nitpicking: at first I didn't notice that you can flip pages in the journal (maybe it's on me), so I was wandering around and thinking "why the heck stuff flickers". But then I found out that there're more pages, and my interest grew up. Also I couldn't make the game fullscreen, so I had to put my face against the monitor.
Anyway, I really liked the game and congrats on doing such a great job here!

So nice to see more horror games in this jam. The art direction is extremely well designed and overall the atmosphere has something very creepy about it. So sorry to read about your problems during the last night - Great work nevertheless!

First of all, let me say: amazing art style. The game is also really well made with great polish. It has good replayability and actually has a bit of tension. Great work! :))
