This game is very creepy with the colour changes and worrying environments. It does make me wonder what happened to the world in order to cause it to fracture like that and I played through a couple of times to explore more of the building. I’m amazed what you got done in 4 hours.
Could of questions (probably the answers are spoilery though), even when I bring back a lot of items, I still can’t get higher than a C grade? And do the statuses (like bloodied) affect the game, or are they mainly atmospheric?
Thanks for the kind words!
The perfect run gets you an A rating. But it requires knowing what's in every room and using the Statuses to your advantage.
Some of the statuses change the game (like Cursed, Charmed, and Lost), and the other 2 statuses (Bloodied and Terrified) end the game if you get that status again. As in, if you're Bloodied and something causes you to be Bloodied again, then you'll die.
You can hover over the Status to get a brief summary of it.
Oh, that makes a lot more sense now. I couldn’t work out why I seemingly randomly died one time, but it was likely because I already had bloodied as a status and must have hit it again (was on my first run so I didn’t really know what I was doing.) I didn’t realise hovering over the statuses gave you a summary, I’ll need to look. Thanks :)
Thanks! Got it now :)

Also I have noticed what I think is a bug. If you use the elevator, when it resets, you’re usually still carrying whatever status you ended on from the previous round. So say if you ended bloodied, you will start bloodied rather than neutral.
