How does your game represent "Slick"?
There are several references to the word slick itself, and the looping mechanics are relatively slick.

This must have been fun to code. The room loop was fun to go through and it has a great look. Your game was just great!
Made me jump
Horror games are one of my favorite genres, so I gotta be honest in this comment. Making a good horror game is hard, because if you don't have a deep level of immersion, then you can't feel scared. The atmosphere of the game is very good in the beginning, but the unreasonable appearances of the word "slick" and the weak storytelling in the newspaper and notes lost me before midgame (also, it was funny to see nine red-glowing buttons built in a rusty iron door). Don't get me wrong, though, I really liked the idea of making an horror game and hope that you continue to make them (I really want more good horror games to play).
Thanks for the honest comment! I definitely struggled with wanting to make something serious and creepy while also wanting to make goofy jokes and simple gameplay.
I'm not built for horror games, but I managed to pull through (without my headphones on because I was so scared :( )
The atmosphere was very chilling, I had a feeling there's a jumpscare around every corner
I also liked that it's always the same stairway, but I lost tracks of the number of them
Is the player character responsible for the actions depicted in the game? Or did I not get the point? :D
Amazing job, it got me captivated even though I was afraid all the time
I enjoyed this! The ambience and sound are great, especially for the doors. I really feel the rust. I love the shade thrown at the player through the notes. The audio and visuals are immersive. The controls are smooth. Nice work!
I'm not even going to lie, I'm not sure if I'm just sleep deprived, but this game me the chills. You crushed the sound design and the atmosphere was incredible. Despite the oppressive atmosphere, note that said 'lucky guess' made me laugh. That was so funny. This game made me feel and you nailed it. Keep up the good work. :)
I like the ps1 art style and cool looping rooms
Hm…you’re slick for this one.
Nice little horror experience, the soundscape and design was amazing. The mouse sensitivity was a little low, but I guess that's kind of on theme.
I was engaged with the PT like loop, I was puzzled as to where a key to a locked door was and opened the door I entered from and the key was there!
However, theres a small problem, upon alt-tabbing or clicking anywhere thats not the game, the mouse will go out of bounds, so I couldnt type in the code to enter the red PIN door. I could hit 1 just fine, but the next number I couldnt reach due to the mouse not allowing me to pan down.
Atmospheric and I hope to see what more this dev has in store.
