How does your game fit the theme?
My game fits the theme by being centered around a 5 minute countdown to midnight in which all monsters become much stronger making your escape much harder.

Good game. Beat it in 24 seconds with lead developer watching. I'm cracked.

I like the theming a lot and especially the atmosphere, overall a great experience! Ended up escaping 5 seconds before midnight

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed, and great job escaping!

Atmosphere was amazing but I felt lost and kept running into walls and not realizing. Some better lighting up of just the walls maybe? idk I don't like horror games too much. Smooth game, story was simple yet fittingly creepy.  

Developer

I see what you mean, some separate lighting in certain areas may have helped for sure. Glad you thought it was smooth though, thanks for playing!

You nailed the atmosphere :D

This game is one of the best horror games in this jam. You nailed the atmosphere and creepy vibes! Please ditch that horrid font in the beginning though as it is unreadable. Also I can walk through the wall and go outside the map at one point. Those are the only picky things I found during my playthrough though, The actuall game itself is really fun, and this is a very strong game with amazing visuals and playability :)

Developer

For sure the font and some issues with the wall are the worst but Im very happy you enjoyed!

Great output for a first game jam!  The atmosphere is perfect.  I managed to get out of the level at the start behind the bookshelf at the top left, which was... also terrifying... 💀

Actually my 3rd jam and first try at a scary project. TY! And almost being outside of the level to start is quite scary in its own way...
