Super interesting concept, I am  fascinated to know the narrative behind everything going on but I really enjoy the ambiguity as well! The minigames were enjoyable, especially as the time to do them got shorter. I was not good enough to survive to any end if there is one but I had a blast trying.

Great work! :)

The mini games were easy to read and pick up, but the ramp was a little bonkers! The vibe is creepy and a good juxtaposition to the minigames. I do wish there was maybe just a touch more sfx or response upon clicking things. Fun small game

Very creepy idea!

YOOOO this is lit ! the artwork is simple yet it works quite well
i like creepy warioware/obey the game vibes

Pretty decent, works as intended. I do think that the skill curve is wayyy to sudden. (skill issue on my part)

the timer not being on the screen is a confusing choice, on my first impulse i wasn't given enough pressure or feedback telling me i needed to go fast go fast until it was too late,

i really can't find what the narrative links was between what was going on. who was I? who were these people? why am i the one punching a trashbag? there is no communication to me what the narrative link between any of these disjointed moments are unless i missed something substantial, but i just believe enough isn't being shown.

the minigame/warioware high score type game is fine, it doesn't seem very well balanced and the minigames aren't necessarily interesting, so i personally don't feel inclined to go for a highscore of any sort.

Yeah, we had a pretty fleshed out narrative written originally, unfortunately we ran out of time to properly implement what we wanted, Thank you for playing!

I went into the game without reading the description, and it was fascinating to discover that what I initially thought were repetitions of the same minigame gradually developed into an unfolding narrative. I also enjoyed the puzzle where you had to arrange the pictures in the correct order.

There is a sharp skill increase that I couldn't survive. The heartbeat in the background is a nice touch!

fun and whacky mini games with the increasingly disturbing effect and sped up timer to get it done got my heart pumping. good work on this one all around! played through a few times and would love to see more mini games added in as well. check my game out as well if you get the chance!

Nice game. When I lost, I was always like a quarter of a second too slow. I am wondering what was going on with the, you know, spooks.

Wow, incredible work, very fun game, and quite difficult to keep up as the levels get harder.
