The heartbeats were a nice touch, but they accelerated a bit too fast for me. I didn't like all the white text invading my screen D:\r\rI loved the story however! I thought there would be more item-combining\/puzzles to do before the end though, only being able to use the fridge left me wanting for more :\/\r\rThe true ending was really good, I kinda of suspected it when I noticed you could interact with yourself. It was only a matter of waiting until there was no time left to try it out.\r\rAwesome work!"},{"author_name":"Eniko","author_uid":"15439","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 4:29am","epoch":1387167840,"text":"The white text are the panicked thoughts of the character. When panicked, you can't think clearly or focus very well. These thoughts are intentionally obtrusive, to disrupt the player's focus and make it easier to identify with the character's current mental state, so it sounds like those were working as intended! >_>\r\rThough whether that design is a good idea or not is a matter of debate, I suppose!

The graphics, sound and ambience all get together really well.\r\rI'm not very sure that you could call your "good ending", "good ending"... Don't you think it might be a trigger for some people?\r\rThe game messages sometimes get lost among the fear messages later in the game, I'd guess that is just what you intended, but if not, they get hard to read by the time.\r\rCheers, and thanks for the game!"},{"author_name":"somepx","author_uid":"29702","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 8:42am","epoch":1387183020,"text":"Truly amazing, gameplay&graphics do really create a fantastic mood, the best touch are the "panicked thoughts".

Effective graphics (although the characters are of suspiciously lower detail compared to the environment.. $__$), and great sound design.\r\rThe random thoughts (I guess?) that keep popping up constantly are very distracting though when trying to focus on reading the results of your actions.\r\rAlso, movement could definitely do with some pathfinding. Getting stuck all too easily on the edge of the bed, or when trying to go into the bathroom.\r\rThe writing is quite good though and pretty funny at times.\r\rOverall 4\/5"},{"author_name":"mrjordan","author_uid":"25844","time":"Dec 16, 2013 @ 9:09pm","epoch":1387227840,"text":"Freakkkkky!

The aesthetic is nice and the sounds were too. Having the "thoughts" rushing across the screen and the heartbeat sound stressed me out quite a bit. I got eaten every time. It maybe could have been a bit clearer what you can or should do to get a better ending because in the heat of the moment I didn't manage to think of anything else once I found out the window is barred.

Having a story set in a single room is always an interesting concept, and in this case it felt as if it was well done."},{"author_name":"soy_yuma","author_uid":"7620","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 7:45pm","epoch":1387395600,"text":"Oh, the atmosphere!

Have been wanting to play it ever since trying your demos on the IRC. The panic the character experiences isn't just his own, for the heartbeat and the on-screen thoughts induce quite a bit of panic onto the player as well. I figured out the solution just as the zombies started walking in on my second attempt. Great job, would love to see a post-jam version, where perhaps the player finds a way past the barred window and has to figure out what to do from there, perhaps find a working car in the parking lot?"},{"author_name":"Anoarith","author_uid":"24843","time":"Dec 24, 2013 @ 5:35pm","epoch":1387906200,"text":"Loved it ! :)\rIt's really involving because of these heartbeats and texts."},{"author_name":"Husky","author_uid":"17464","time":"Dec 26, 2013 @ 3:42pm","epoch":1388072220,"text":"I got 2 ends, but I fell so sad....:(\rI thought maybe there is another way to use the only bullet.\rAnyway, It has a very good mood, good job! :D"},{"author_name":"SnoringFrog","author_uid":"20952","time":"Dec 28, 2013 @ 5:26am","epoch":1388208060,"text":"Even though I was pretty sure I knew both endings at the beginning, the "good" ending was still...rough.
