Looked really nice but I'm not sure what happened. I finished the first level, told me I was home, and I think that was it? Or did I miss something extra somewhere?

I loved this game! The atmosphere that you were able to build was incredible. I liked how unique in style and atmosphere it was.

This one's a quick little creepypasta. The rough, hand-drawn look actually makes it more unsettling, and the way the eyes slowly start appearing had me feeling watched the whole time. It's simple, but the vibe lands hard. Feels like a creepy little idea that could turn into something really cool if you ever expand it. Solid on-theme entry, especially for a solo entry.

Interesting game! Perhaps more could be done with the left-right interactions, but still, pretty neat!

Hi


This was interesting indeed,I  would not have minded if was a tad bit longer.

Having said that, for a solo-built game I am very impressed

Good job.

Honestly, I’m not entirely sure what I just played, but it felt intriguing in a good way, the strange place itself really worked xD. I’m not personally a fan of the hand drawn paper art style, but I can see a lot of potential in it. I would have loved to see another scene to expand the concept a bit more. Overall, it was a good experience to play, nice work!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing.... :D
The limited length of the gameplay was due to time constraint as i started the development quite late.
but i am glad you loved the concept :p

Love finding people that think eyes looking at you from everywhere is cool, check it out in my game too hahaha. This was very short but sweet experience and overall a very weird one so you really hit the theme. I love the art so good job :)

As someone whose game also has paper hand drawn slightly creepy graphics, I can appreciate this

Developer

Hey Thank you :D, i am glad you liked it... :p .... will check out yours tooo..... :)

The simple, hand-drawn art was effective in creating a spooky, creepypasta-like vibe. The pressure mechanic not being really shown made the gamplay sort of into just a very simple platformer to me. Level design could be tweaked so that player has to move left and right in order to balance the pressure gauge more maybe? Either way it was cool!

Thank you for trying my game,  really appreciate the feedback!
I started the project quite late (about a day before the deadline), so I didn’t have enough time to properly balance and showcase the pressure system. Because of that, I went with a more linear level flow, mainly pushing the player forward.
The original plan was to design a more maze like platforming experience, where players would be forced to move left and right, plan their movement, and respect time, as time also affects the pressure system shown on the left side of the screen.

Thanks again for playing and for the feedback..... :p
