Black light glow mechanic is super cool! It's a great idea that implemented well in this game. Love the overall tone and setting, it's dark but not too dark that it impedes the point of the game. Well done :)!

Really well made game! I really liked the feel and visual style of the game, and gameplay loop is simple yet intuitive and fun. My only nitpick is that the game could have had a Main Menu where the Fullscreen and Resolution options would be. 

But nevertheless, really fun and scary game! Keep up the good work!

Really nice game 👍 I really enjoyed it. It might be great to have a mouse sensitivity setting later, mine was a bit hard to control.

This game caused me anxiety, paranoia, and schizophrenia. Well done!

Great puzzle, great idea. But damn, I was afraid to go on and on.

I am really enjoying this game and I love the goopy monsters and the puzzle is super interesting and fun! Just wanted to let you know that I found a bug that is possible if you interact with a page and then pause the game right after then the game will become un-pausable.

If anyone else has this bug I found a way to bypass it if you can focus any part of the UI such as the resolution dropdown and then keep pressing tab so it cycles through the UI until the resume button is focused you can then hit enter to resume the game allowing you to close the page interface ;)
