Fun game overall! Keys were pretty easy to find but not SO easy they were obtainable instantly. I encountered a bit of a but around 1AM though. I just... couldn't run anymore. Crouched, uncrounched, my character just wasn't having it. So if I was spotted, it was pretty much game over unless there was a hiding spot nearby. All in all though, good game. I have no idea what the phone dude said at the start though. The second he started talking, the monster started chasing me so I went off hunting for keys xD

I kept dying at first but I finally got as far as 1 key to go :'D The monster is surprisingly scary with the sound of its footsteps and when it roars. The red eye lights were useful to see where it was and make you scared. The shocking mechanic was a little confusing at first, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to do anything to activate it but then it turned on by itself around 3am which was a nice relief. Aside from the keys being hard to find this was a fun scary game, good job! ^__^
*edit: Oh yeah, there wasn't much visual difference to being crouched or not which confused me sometimes when I tried to sprint and couldn't 😅
Crazy good work as your first game, very scary. The keys were a little hard to find but the game was fun nonetheless.
Woah! Your game is pretty cool! The monster is incredibly anxiety inducing which I think is a good thing. Though the keys were just impossible to find around 4 left.. Maybe making them brighter or easier to see would help? Regardless awesome job for your first game. This is also my first game and jam too so I totally get the time crunch, I learned a ton I hope you enjoyed making this game. I also loved the death animation for the monster and lighting! Great work!
good first game!
you'd get more people to play if there were a web version
