I played both versions of your game and liked the subtle changes in the Final Build (24:06 in my vid--yes, I always take the 'scenic' route when I play.) Horror story was great, created dread, and I liked how it devolved into total insanity. Also impressed by my lack of survival skills. Enjoyed playing, thanks!
That was a Very Solid Scary Game with Chilling Jumpscares Suspense Thumbs Up!! :)
This game was really creepy!! The atmosphere was crazy. This with a deeper story and more content would be an AMAZING game!! Loved it!!
I really enjoyed this! Thanks for putting it out in the world
