aw man.  I was just about to rate this when i realized i can't anymore.  I guess i cam still comment:

Really creepy.  I love the dread of it.  Nothing scary doesnt happen until day two and even before that you have this feeling that something bad is going to happen.  The half jumpscare on day two with the crawling thing was actually a perfect mix.  It wasnt a try hard horror game.  It was a psychological perfection!

I love the atmosphere and art, but it got some bugs like the mouse getting stuck, camera sometimes jitter ….

Try playing the downloaded version and almost all of your problems will disappear!😄

Great game! I do wish there was more settings, though, as walking around gave me a bit of a headache with the filter, and I wish it was toggle-able.

NIce Atmosphere! and great idea

I like how the scene/file-selection setup makes it feel like you are opening something you maybe should not be poking around in lol. The countdown theme works well with that late-night surveillance vibe. I honestly first thought of FNAF when I saw the design, which I thought was pretty cool, since the setup is reminiscent of the security cameras. It feels like the kind of game where the tension comes from staring too long at normal things until they stop feeling normal. The UI style is doing a lot of work, and it makes the whole thing feel intentionally eerie. I also appreciate how restrained it feels instead of going loud immediately. Very solid atmosphere.

I loved the atmosphere and intuitive controls. I loved the dithering effect, it created a very good horror vibe. The voice acting was also really nice and brought me into the experience (made me connect to the main protagonist more and feel like I am him (to some extent)). The anticipation was the scariest, but the jump scare was not as scary. Also, it was a bit unclear where to put the beer. I was looking around a lot to find where I have to put it. I think it needs an even clearer in indication (or maybe looking around was the point). Also, didn’t get a strong connection to the countdown theme. With that said, it was still a great game!
