You definitely nailed the horror theme here. The logs you read about the breach and the fleshed-out (pun intended) level design add a lot of depth to the game. It's crazy to think this was made in a week! As a suggestion, I think it'd be great if the searchable boxes stood out a bit more, since I glossed over them a couple times thinking they were set dressing. Super fun and high quality game though.

Hotline Miami but the flesh is hungry and the body is weak
I like the idea of no savepoints but personally I got too frustrated after not having enough time to reload and dying... A good game concept though! Also idk if the compression artefacts in the soundtrack were intentional but I liked them... Crunchy noises

I Can't SleepThe game is very cool. I like the visuals and sound effects. The game is pretty difficult. I died so many times. Good job!

Where is Mabel?Post - QA
Good game but mostly frustrating, player only have 1 HP and I struggled to get to the next room w/o being killed constantly by the tiny ones.
Good work on the game! It’ll be nice if the game is not 1 hit KO
Is a nice, well made environment game but assuming i have skill issue and mostly played dumbly. Safe to assume the no checkpoint is too brutal lol

Bizarre Tales: Asylum RequiemI LOVE THE NO CHECKPOINTS HOLY COW, FIVES ACROSS THE BOARD TED. I LOADED THE GAME AND OH MY GOD, IM SO HAPPY THAT THIS GAME WASN'T DOING JUMPSCARED, Thank you so much for that. I love everything about this game holy cow, I need to pick at your mind. THIS IS AWESOMESAUCE. Subsume is such a good name too. YOU MAD ETHIS IN AWEEK, WHAT>>>???
Everything about this game is awesome, The player characters speed, if you speed through the game you just die, if you go slow you will probably win, which helped the tension.
Only real feedback is its hard to tell what is interactable, perhaps if interactable glowed or something when the player was close to them to encourage them to walk around the room. God thank you for playing my game sorry it took me this long to play yours, didn't know it ran in browser. Solid Work. Win please

One With The SeaDude it will, please I love this game so much I love the atmosphere, you did something crazy making this in game maker the flashlight is the coolest way to visualize a flashlight, the gun mechanic was so simple. Very fun. Atmos was everything. The realistic human scream was everything it needed to be. You are a talent, lemme know if you make something. I'll fuckin buy it.
Me and what I assume to be the final boss killed each others at the same time, so I'll take that as a win. No checkpoints is very punishing. Combat, especially the boss was very fun and intense!
