The gameplay is very innovative, I am really impressed by the narrative and level design, and the simple (yet very engaging) mechanic of eye blinking and walking backwards!! Both convey a sense of suspense, coupled with the atmosphere of the game...absolutely haunted;DD

Very polished game! I love the aesthetic and the sounds are all super polished! I'm not a big fan of the backpedaling mechanic combined with the shooting though since it felt a bit infuriating at times but it was still a fun time! Awesome work!!
