The art is really cool! The gameplay does feel a bit plain as you just have to walk around for a (pretty) long time... But it has a lot of potential!! Good luck an good job :)

There are multiple stages in the game, and each time you leave one, you enter a random stage. Furthermore, the collectible item in each stage has a random chance to appear.

The art is really good ! I think if you could interact with objets or had something a way to get hurt it would make the gameplay more diverse, (but it didn't bother me), X) Good game !
The atmosphere and environment feel really spooky and strange. The sprites are amazing and emphasizes the horror elements. I like how mysterious the game is, but the gameplay really tested my patience lol.
I escaped the nightmare! I like this game's atmosphere, in a weird way the repeating rooms with slight differences/orientation really sell the eerie feeling. The 5th key also took a while for me haha, it was a bit too much. Well done nonetheless!
Thanks for the feedback!
I was myself quite concerned about the gameplay being boring at some time, but I couldn't come up with anything else in the short time I had. Also in each room you'll find a single key, meaning that if you're missing a single key, you'll only be able to find it in its respective room and nowhere else. Although I must say finding all the keys can be very easy just as it can be very hard, as everything is based purely on luck.
I had fun :) but there is probably not the 5th key so you can't escape the nightmare...
There is! The thing is that the keys have a 25% chance of appearing, so if you're very unlucky well... it can take a while.
The more keys you get, the more it's unlikely to find the remaining ones as you first have to be randomly spawned in the stage where the key is missing, and then you also have to do it multiple times until the key appears, so basically if you're missing just one key, you'll have to be very lucky to find the last one.
