How does your game fit the theme?
You count down from 100 to fall asleep. The count only runs with your eyes closed, and that is when things come for you. Opening your eyes stops them, but it stops the count too. And the clock keeps running to 7am no matter what.

Nice game! :p I managed 2min30 on my third try. It would have been fun to have more unexpected jumpscares, or anomalies to search for when your eyes briefly open sometimes. Good job on your submission! I hope you got more sleep making it than your character did. Bravo!

Really nice take on the theme! I got jump scared by that shriek a couple times haha. I didn't realize that there was a difference in the hands until I read the description but I like the subtle difference and how it makes you have to pay attention!

Simple mechanics yet incredibly fun. I got quite the jump scare the first time I was caught, and the game’s atmosphere is masterfully crafted.

The first time the cough variant got me made me jump. Don’t think I’ve ever been scared like that by a game before. I was totally locked in after that. Really well done!

Freaky. I properly jumped the first time I got caught out by the coughing one. The sound design is really well done, it properly sells it.

The silhouettes really help build the tension of not knowing what's out there!

Great game! really well done, especially sound design, I dont have a headphone and my significant other was scared by the game without even playing/seeing it! that says a lot! simple but so efficient!

How did you get footage of me trying to fall asleep? This is copyright infringement! /s

Jokes aside I did actually get spooked by this game which is to say it is well made!

The fading to darkness gives a nice uneasy feeling as it gets harder to notice the different types of monsters but it never does a cheap jump scare. Instead letting your own mind make you startled.

As a game it is boiled down to the bare interactions needed but as a horror game it is full of atmosphere.

I wish there was a bit more paranoia in it, where you could for example flick on the lights and look around to make sure there really was nothing, with shapes disappearing as you do so, but for a jam game this is plenty spooky already!

This game is short and simple, but still managed to spook me out O_O

Great at building suspense and feeling creepy! Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time :)

A work of art.

Awesome stuff and i actually have this fear sometimes when i close my eyes, would love to see a extension of this game with more anomalies and creepy stuff

That was tense! Really cool concept

LOL. I couldn't sleep. Fun concept.

HECK! I was TENSE! My dog freaking jump scared me in real life while I was playing that. Good job on the eerie atmosphere. I need like, 10 minutes to calm down. Very nicely done. I like how much you acheived on such a minimalistic approach!

Submitted(+1)

this is well made in all aspects! quite unsettling too, and its such a simple concept its amazing how well it worked! great submission :)

Alarm clock beeped when I was at 1, I'm so disappointed!!!!! It's really one of the most original take I've seen so far. I love the atmosphere and the tension. I wish there was a bit more of different things happening since 100 is long but I really loved the experience

Submitted

Simple but a great way to adhere pretty strictly to the jam's theme. No one's missing the count down here :p

The game is very good overall. Although the base mechanic is basic, the more you play the more you want to play. The audio, the visual effects, every other piece is super cool. Well done, loved it.
