You absolutely nailed down the atmosphere, however I think you could've explained what the player had to do better. I didn't look in the description at first and I was so confused

Good anomalie spotting game ! The setting works really well for this type of game while still being diffrent from other games of the genre.

The physics for the character controller when they step on the moving platform is very polished.

The spooky vibe is totally checked here, but this game made me realize how bad i suck on this kind of games,  i got dragged into nothingness so many times lol awesome horror game, we didnt get enough of these!

I loved it! Such a cool entry, well made and definitely more challenging that it might seem. Congrats

Ooh, that was spooky! I was too scared to look for the differences so I started guessing and couldn't make it past 3 rounds haha. Great job!

I've seen a few of these by now, and admittedly this one was a little slow to start, but man isn't that atmosphere pristine. The entire setting being effectivelly the center of a circle with a looping carousel is a very fitting twist to adapt the formula to the jam's theme. More could have been done with it maybe, but it's also hard to tell with how sporadic the anomalies tend to be. Gameplay aside though, I absolutelly dug the atmosphere alone, seeing the occasional spooky thing was just icing on the cake.

Super spooky!  It's a great setting for an observational horror game, the look and feel have come together great!

Absolutely love to see a fellow horror game this jam!! The atmosphere is just amazing! And so is the sound design! Also kinda cool that we both have a horror game where you need to spot anomalies :)
