I'm entering this into the jam because I used public domain sounds and music from freesound.
The game is (hopefully) a creepy, atmospheric, minimalistic recreation of what it's like to suffer from insomnia and see shadow people (which are a real phenomenon, check out the description at the game's homepage!).

You suffer from severe insomnia.
You close your eyes, but the shadows come.
You hear them as they scuttle.. closer.
Open your eyes and the shadows fade.
Keep them closed and be devoured.
Fall asleep to escape this waking nightmare.
(Defeat 14 shadows to win)
Controls: Press the correct key when prompted. Do so quickly, or the shadows will devour you.
M to mute, but I highly recommend keeping the sound on.
Thanks for playing!
(And yes, there is a potato in this game!)
