I really enjoyed this game. Your style is really cool and atmospheric. I think you have a real talent for horror games and could actually make this into a really cool main game since it is a really cool environment and idea; perhaps make safe areas too where you can rest, etc? Like others have said, it is a bit laggy and instructions could be better, but overall, good job mate!

Oh I really appreciate that. Yes I agree. With the initial concept I did want to have more level mechanics and silhouette style monsters that would chase you around the level aswell as rooms that closed in on you to give the claustrophobic feeling but I spent a little too long on areas of this project that were new too me ( like animating the shadows). It does seem that optimization was an issue here I think im going to make a project that just focuses on optimization so I have a block of code I can use in all my work going forward.

Thats game has phenomenal horror atmosphere! 

If u could add some kind of "bogey" would be even better. 

And finally, game is a bit laggy, You should work on optimization.

Thankyou!

Yeah this is my first games jam. I think its because in the base file its using UE5 with max setting when it in no way needs too XD. But we live and learn think ill schedule 6 hours at the end for testing next time.

Why is there no play or download option?

Really unique and like the art style

 but its way too directionless and gives barelly any instructions

Thankyou, I completely agree too. Time management was a bit of an issue with this. Spent too mcuh time on some tasks that should of been spent doing other things not to mention loosing my level just before submission and having too create it again. Nonetheless these are all things ill learn from for next time!
