Very cool game! The ambiance is really nice, very good for 48 hours!

As someone who doesn't play that many horrorgames because of being easily frigthend, I must say that this indeed felt like the few ones I've played and made me very anxious and scared, which I would guess is exactly what you wanted! The atmosphere was terrifying from the start and multiple times I just didn't wanna procede which is exaclty what Outlast and PT  accomplished.

So I must say I loathed every second, which means you did great! Awesome work! :D

Very cool!

One problem I had was my enter key wasn't working at the start, so I had to pull up the good ol on-screen keyboard, but that sounds like a me problem.

Good job on your game!

Very scary ambiance and great progression of "creepiness" with the smeared walls. It was a creative interpretation of the theme (like if The Stanley Parable and "My House Walkthrough" had a baby) and well executed. I ran into the getting-stuck-in-a-room bug, and I was floating near the ceiling for some reason, but I was thoroughly scared regardless. Well done!

Interesting mix with horror theme, it reminded me the Slender game!

What I liked?

- Great ambiance, I had shivers especially when the monster was near me.

- The randomness of the rooms was interesting

Other comments:

- At one moment, I was stuck in a room with no place to go and the door was closed, so I don't know if it was a sort of "game over", or if I missed something?

Overall good work!

Thanks for the review! The thing about getting stuck is definitely a bug. I plan on fixing that when I work on the game after the jam is over.

Pretty good. Simple horror game. At some point I did not know if I was suppose to follow a pattern or not. Was also curious what I was suppose to pick up but was a good game. Nice job!
