I absolutely cheated after reading the comment below :)

Being unable to look up was unexpectedly anxiety inducing! It fit the claustrophobic setting.

Great game, but i found that the mouse is too sensitive and the game is a little bit laggy.

I like the idea, and it sure looks nice. Maybe a little too nice for the purposes of this jam. It was a bit laggy, too. It feels like everything was loaded at all times.

I feel like there should probably be a penalty for getting it wrong, so you can't just click on every barrel you see.

Play hide and seek with a spirit in a barrel. 

This is based on the Shirlock Holmes: Nemesis Creepy Watson glitch.

Don't worry about the amount of effort I put in, it was a  mostly a free asset pack. It even came with the room pre-populated. all I did was make the walls solid, add a player object, and make one barrel haunted. It took about 5 hours.

Find the haunted barrel and click on it to see if you are right.

This was more fun than I intended.
