How did you implement the Theme: Theatre of the Grotesque in your game?
As described in the classic creepypasta this project is based on, the game was already a Theatre of the Grotesque. The theme wasn’t added, it was already the foundation.
Did you implement any of the Bonus Challenges, and if so, which ones?
I didn’t design the game around the bonus challenges specifically, but there is some natural overlap
Body Horror: the main "antagonist," the Swirly-Head Man, is a grotesque and disfigured version of another character, the Ticket Taker.
Stick to the Script: not exactly reenacting of plays according to a script, but the game is full of puzzles, secrets and easter eggs.

I think you really nailed the presentation and made a faithful recreation of the creepy pasta. Very well executed and I can see the theme in it 100% you did an amazing job. This is art.
I may be dumb haha, but I never got anything weird to happen. Outside of the normal loop. I learned you could pick up the movie posters. I’ll go back to this game another day. You’ve made something very atmospheric and wonderful.
