too scary for me, great submission

The atmosphere was so good here! I love games that can create that feeling of horror simply with sound and scenery. It was instantly tense and the game is well polished. Like most people, I found the flickering lights disorienting, but I think an easy fix to that is slow the flash so you can maintain that spooky-lighting vibe. Very fitting entry for Scream Jam!

Good game! 

My only complaint is that the light flickering was a bit too much and it gave me a little headache.  Also, I think having too many batteries made the flashlight feel a bit trivial.

Nevertheless, it’s still a solid and spooky game!

Cool little game! every light flickering was a bit of a headache but the atmosphere was good and the spooky levels were great! Great Submission!

Incrediball work, super spooky and well polished. I liked the collecting of elevator buttons, like luigi's mansion (goated) The default mouse sensitivity was insane but even once turned down it seemed to creep back up? Or maybe I was just getting more scared! :)

Good game, really good build up of atmosphere.  Honestly could probably have done with a jump scare - sometimes tropes are right and you did such a good ramp up of tension!  Only minor niggle is the flashlight overbrightens the number pad a bit at the end, and took me ages to work out the drawers in the first section (would be better if the obvious desk had *also* had opening drawers so we'd know they were available).  No complaints though, excellently executed.

Very good and spooky atmosphere!

Great atmosphere! I was seriously uneasy after the first room. There wasn't much signposting for where to find the first password, but that's my only real complaint. The elevator was a good idea as it gave nice break from the tesnsion on each floor.

Very spooky. I liked the graphics as well.

Pretty cool, very short, but maintains good spooky atmosphere, the lack of loud obvious jumpscares really felt good to keep the tension up.

I wasn't sure how to exit the first room(which might be a skill issue) because I couldn't find the code, I tried the most obvious one in case it worked(and it did). Later I checked and it's in a drawer. I didn't think of checking them first time around as the drawers in the other desk, where you find the note, don't work. Also I feel like it could use some work in terms of brightness, the dark shadows are expected and good for the horror, but the flashlight turns everything close up so bright it hurt my eyes. 

Quite cool overall however, I enjoyed the spooks ^^

Thank you for playing the game.

Interesting game, I liked the concept of doing "something" in each floor to find the button. I wasn't really spooked because the only scary thing was the setting and the small sound effects, I wish there was some scary stuff that happenned. But great entry!
