I really like this horror subgenre where you work a mundane job and occasionally something scary happens. This game did that formula really well!
There were a few really good jumpscares, and because those jumpscares were so good, it made me feel tense the rest of the time I was playing. I wasn't expecting segments in an apartment, so that was an exciting twist on the usual retail horror game, and I loved seeing variance in the kind of tasks the player was doing at work.
I had some issues with the game once I got to the driving portion - I appreciate that you included a "load game" function that restarted from checkpoints, as I don't think I would have been able to complete the demo otherwise. There was an issue with the people not speaking to me from their doors, and another issue at the very end where during the final "RUN" segment, I was able to hop in the truck and drive away. I couldn't do much driving away, but I definitely broke the sequence :P
I think the driving controls could probably be tweaked a bit - right now, the car controls feel remarkably like human controls. Making it so your car doesn't stop immediately after letting go of the move key would probably fix a lot of that funk!
I'm excited to see what a full game is like - This was super fun! I played the game here on stream around 4:19:50
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to actually play this game. Once the game loaded in, the screen was moving around so much without even walking that I immediately stopped to avoid making myself or my viewers motion sick. I would strongly urge you to either reconsider that being a part of the game or adding an option to turn it off.
