This game is overall very good, it has incredible pacing, it has good level design, a lot of levels, it has variety in obstacles, movement, and enemies. It has strong visuals and very unsettling sounds. It got a few scares out of me even after having died a few times to the bug enemies, sometimes they jumped me from the side and just scared me lol. The atmosphere is very unsettling and really feels alive. Sadly the moving textures gave me motion sickness at a few spots in the game, it would be nice to have the option to turn them off (if there was one I didnt find it). Apart from that very good game well done!
Cool (and disturbing) idea!
I like the pixelation effect but i think its a bit too intense, kinda harsh on the eyes
The attack animation is outstanding, however the attack seems to be inconsistent which was a bit frustrating.
Overall the game has a retro vibe.
There are too many surfaces moving in sync and the FOV of 30 is killing me, but otherwise this is an excellent example of a horror game
This is a really nice retro game , the graphics remind me of doom.
While the friend in me may be sated, I am in fact not!
You did an absolutely wonderful job incorporating the theme into an overall terrifying concept!
Disgust is a powerful tool in horror and when I got worried that you were using it too much here you kept on changing up the environment so I could never get too used to it, much to my incredibly motion sick dismay!
My only gripe is the melee combat, it feels clunky and led to quite a few unfair deaths, but otherwise everything else was executed wonderfully! Good job, be proud of yourself!
