Pretty spooky! Found the two valves and pretty sure I explored every room, couldn't figure out if there was an end game though? Exit remained locked

That [redacted] made me shit my pants :D

Submitted

very spooky!

Submitted

Scary game, utilizes ambient sound effects well!

Nice game, the time is tight, the jumpscares are not overwhelming yet effective and the mechanics are well tied to the ambiance !

Submitted

Nice game, it was the perfect amount of difficulty and length. Also never felt unfair, perfectly balanced. The solid snake sound effect was so funny. Good entry.

peed my pants

The jumpscare got me so great job with that! I couldn't figure out what to do after the blue valve. I found the chainsaw but couldn't interact with it. Good atmosphere.

Submitted

Great horror game! Loved the atmosphere and concept

Submitted

I usually hate horror games, but this one gets a pass. That jumpscare towards the beginning was just plain old mean. Love the concept, maybe wished a little bit more from staying in the darkness too long I did feel like it was a bit lackluster that it just ends the run. Broke my immersion just a smidge.

Enjoyed this one! Reached the end on my first run, but came perilously close to running out of fuel at one point - felt well balanced. Got a scare out of me. Simple but effective mechanics that worked well with the level design to create a fun exploration puzzle against the looming countdown. Thought the overall presentation was great for a jam game. Well done!

Cool twist on the theme. Put enough pressure, especially when lost.
Just two things to note:

- No linux buil, even if it was marked as if there was one in the archive

- DoNotShip has been shipped :>

Submitted

Good! I was really scared by the sudden frightening moment, it was amazing.

Submitted

fun puzzle, strict mechanic, scary valve man. What more do you need?

Submitted

Really liked beating this game! The valve puzzles were cool.

Submitted

Great maze game! I liked the time pressure, although I think if the stopwatch weren't there it would be even more stressful, as you never know when you run out of time! The jumpscare also totally got me

Submitted

Hahahah I was so scared. Thanks for making this!
