Great game!

I really liked the animations!)

I also see a lot of potential and ambition!) I’d love to see a more polished version!

Cool game! The Janitor is really creepy. The chase at the end was pretty easy but I'm also kind of a chicken so I'm glad I could get away easily.

Thanks! yeah it was harder at the start but I made the Janitor slower so the people that have a hard time with horror can finish it ^^ I could've put a difficulty button but I was afraid I didn't have the time ~

Menu is really good and you got me and that jumpscare made my cat jump out of my lap.

You got me with the jumpscare haha
The Janitor's design is very creepy!

Really cool game! I especially liked the game intro. And yes, I definitely got jump scared! Keep up the good work.

Submitted(+1)

The jumpscares have nothing on the sustained anxiety at the end there... 

I did get a bit of motion sickness from the movement, but overall a very fun little experience. 

Developer

That's interesting, what could've been improved to reduce the motion sickness ? I don't have it so I don't know what causes it ^^

Submitted(+1)

I am not 100% sure, but it usually only happens with first person type games, especially with narrow field of view and/or head bobbing and motion blur. Motion blur is the worst for me, but I suspect in thus case it might have been the bobbing of the chicken as I was running away the end. 

My ears basically disagree with my eyes, which causes motion sickness like feelings.

Developer

so maybe if I added a zoom in/out it would've been better ? 

Submitted(+1)

Yeah, I think so. I usually play games zoomed out all the way. Never clicked for me that this is why, I thought I just preferred it

Oh my god!! I got a jumpscare and fell off my chair! Amazing

sorry T-T

I don't play a lot of spooky games so this was plenty spooky for me lol.  From the image I was expecting a little bit more inscryption like gameplay but I had a great time solving how to escape death.  I think you know this but on web the intro cinematic is a bit off timing wise.  Still had a great time.  Very creative and I love the theme interpretation too!

Developer(+1)

thank you for playing ! yes yes the web build has been a pain to setup, a few elements didn't make it like volumetric fog and some textures felt a bit weird, but I got advised to keep both versions there ^^ 

Submitted

Yeah it's totally playable and still looks great!  I like the details on the tiles and everything with the lighting coming off them looking very rough.  I only play games with web builds so yeah it's totally worth it but I hear ya on the extra headaches

The intro is pure cinema, good job on the chicken anim the controller is really enjoyable :))

Submitted(+1)

The game is really immersive thanks to its great sound design and cohesive art. Awesome entry, very fun to play!

LOVED the Beetlejuice inspired creatures / other world!

You actually got me with a jump scare which… I suppose isn’t that impressive because I’m pretty jumpy, but, great job!

Thanks for sharing on my stream!

The amount of chicken in this game jam is starting to get mortifying

Best intro and outro I have played so far!
