Wow, I love the concept. Holding the spacebar to breathe felt weird and super cool!

I thought I took my meds today but I guess I was wrong

Don't forget to take deep breathes

Really cool, I got it on my first try but my screen was fading to black. Creepy and fun and a really nice interpretation of the theme!

Developer

oh wow respect for the 1-shot we tried to balance so it's a bit difficult

Awesome stress simulator with cool retro aesthetic. Mechanics/puzzle is clear. Good stuff!

Developer

Thanks !!!! :)

Nice take on the theme and solid visual effects. Most escape room games rely on puzzles, but this feels more like a hidden object game (which works well because of the time constraint). Great work!

Thanks for the feedback, yes we wanted some more puzzles but I spent so much time on ambiance that in the end I just had time for that, I regret nothing tho it still gives some tension
