this lil game was so fun!! the timer even at the start menu is diabolical, the items were fun to gather since they all were different approaches, and the ending was really cute! The audio fit so well that I didn't even notice it till I intentionally paid attention :D

Quite chilling. The "it's too late" ending with the dedicated window appearing was especially so. I liked all of the mechanics, with the breathing being a highlight. The atmosphere is great. I was unable to beat it however as I did not know where the use the final key and I randomly lost it in the highest room.

Great game, the horror environment is well designed although i am not able to complete the game, “it’s too late always” but i really enjoyed it. Breathing mechanic is some genius level idea, i loved that.

Really interesting concept! I loved the mindscape idea and how the timer adds tension right from the start. The art and music work really well together to create a unique atmosphere.

I ran into some lag, but it didn’t stop me from enjoying the experience. Great job overall! If you get a chance, I’d really appreciate it if you could check out my game too and leave some feedback.

Thx for the feedback and taking the time to play our game! I went ahead rated and checked out your game too!

This idea is cool, the short got me hooked! For some reason, it was super laggy and I couldn't get far, but the art is cute! I also love the inclusion of a timer immediately, it really helps with the tense atmosphere that the lights and music make!
