I really liked this one and how tense it made me feel! :)
(It's the first one I played in the video)
Thanks for playing! We've fixed lots of little timing and audio bugs fixed since your play through but it looks like you found your way through regardless! Happy Halloween!
I like the game, I got a little lost at times but I am a big fan of the art and themes. Camera angles were confusing at first, but I ended up liking how they were.
i can't figure out this game, nothing seems interactable
Try walking up to a door that's being knocked on! You should be able to spot the right door when they are knocking. Look for a little symbol on the door
nice
