I really enjoyed going through the mansion, I liked the ambience of it, keep it up!

I like this a lot! Building this many interconnected rooms is not easy and I wanted to explore all of them. I think some hints to the key and cake locations would go a long way. Especially if they were written on the walls of the rooms. Good job!

Good sound fx on the doors and footsteps, with the lighting it really set the scene well. I felt immersed!

Cool game!!! I really loved the idea. I think the mansion would look a lot nicer if it were filled with more props. Good job!

This was a fun game to play. Exploring a large mansion with connecting rooms, corridors and exterior. I appreciated the level design and layout, offering multiple doors to try. There's a completionist element, where you want to see what's behind each door, even if it's just storage for furniture or an empty room. I found a key, but was unable to open the locked door. Maybe I needed more than one key? I liked that jumping on the beds was a good way to avoid the seeking enemies....either that, or I was just lucky.

Like the theme, struggled to find the cake, some sort of hint after a long time searching might be helpful, but maybe I'm just bad at seeking games 😂 Great job overall, fun concept!

Nice atmosphere and a good take on the Hide & Seek theme. I enjoyed exploring the mansion, but I found it a bit hard to understand how the guards detect the player and where is the cake. Overall, nice job!

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I ran out of time to add proper feedback for the guards switching states. I had wanted to add some voice lines but I didn't have time to record the lines and add them to the game. As for the cake, it is behind the locked door in the middle of the long hallway.
