Well the jump scare definitely got me lol. Survived over 10 rooms but I'm terrible at dodging!

Very simple but oddly very atmospheric game. Nice job!

Great mood. The combination of the art, music, and restricted field of view definitely gives a spooky vibe! Although I did not appreciate the jump scare! haha

Really cool game, I liked the text effects!

Good mood. Jump scare were pretty funny, but music to load, and there is no option to make it quite. Next time try to make some audio options.

Great mood here, and you did the best about horror games, feeling underpowered, nice job !

That music was so dramatic! I like the simplicity of the game. It's not hard to understand, but still challenging and even fun, because weird things happen. Thank you!

Good music and decent game loop!

I felt like the draw distance could be slightly larger, I sometimes found the enemies jumped out of the darkness before I had the chance to react!

I am terrible at horror games, but I still enjoyed the challenge of running through those rooms. Nice job! The atmosphere is well set.

Liked the way the characters looked a lot. The audio is pretty nice too and the spooky atmosphere is on point. Said I wasn't scared and instantly got jumpscared though, guess I got what I deserved. Well done

I loved your game. A great job with music. Light work too. Congratulations!

This is nicely put together. The face appears whether I set scare to yes or no, so I'm not sure what that does. Cool visual effects. Good job!

This is my favorite game of this game jam.
The music is perfectly combined with Lenin's steps, I dodged monsters for half an hour and laughed.
Huge respect for this creation!

As others mentioned, amazing atmosphere generated from a simple game. Dig the glitch effect in the menus, the sound is great, some of those monster sprites are creepy as hell.
I was legit scared!

Wasn't going to add spoilers but I see it's already been mentioned, so... :middle_finger: for the jump scare!

Great atmosphere, but the gameplay is really weak.

Nice little game, as others have said the atmosphere is good, but the game needs a bit more to it. Good job however!

Great game, super fun and really liked the music. The gameplay was a bit tough but the challenge was cool! Great job!

I really enjoyed the mood and the graphics of this game. Post-processing was done right! Good job!

Fun game with a good interpretation of the theme. I'm not sure why the game asks if I'm scared nor do I understand the consequences of my answer.

Hahaha, your game is terrifying and funny! I really enjoyed the atmosphere of terror and the vibe of the game. The graphics are very beautiful (it is similar to the graphic style of my game). I also liked the sound. The experience in general is very good congratulations.

Haaaa, very scary! I'm not fond of watching horror films or playing such games cause I'm afraid a little bit, but it is a cool game for getting adrenaline))

Nice balance of simple controls, atmosphere, lighting and sound. Great feel!

Lol it's been a long time since I've encountered a jump scare on the internet, although this one is a bit mild. Even though you didn't create the graphics and audio, you did a good job of bringing them together to make a spooky mood. Nice job!

I don't know what the point was of asking me if I was scared between levels was though. I'm curious to know what effect that has.

Great music choice, and a very polished game! I'm not a huge fan of jump scares, but I have to give it to you, it fit well here. Well done!
