I like the graphics effects and the atmosphere is a nice and spooky. Looks like you didn't have much time to flesh out your idea but I like this demo you made.

THE ENDING IS SO GOOD.

I had a lot of fun playing this one. The visual effects are very impressive! The character controller was nice and smooth, too. You've definitely got some good tech to build a bigger, more complex project off of!

The bit where you see the room full of crates like yours was a good, creepy twist. Excellent atmosphere across the board, and as I said... The ending truly is priceless C:

Keep up the great work!! :D

Very cool aesthetic! You pulled off that sense of retro unease very well. Reminds me very much of the creator 'Kitty Horrorshow'. Well done!

Fits, the theme and has a very creepy atmosphere. Nice job. It kind of ends abruptly though. Was the game supposed to close on its own?

That is a very impressive game for 24 hours of work! The atmosphere is fantastic and the graphics take me right back. Movement and controls feel good, too, and the ending was excellent. I was even expecting the ~~jump scare~~ and you still got me with it. Bravo!

I would very much like to see the extra scene, as the one note I did have was Koyaaaa in that it closed abruptly (but I had also guessed that it may have just been end-of-game intentional. But now that I know, I would love to know, you know?

Anyway, that was a great experience. Thank you!

Great game! Really like the PSOne-like art and I really liked the ending! That one was great.

Great visual style, especially the texture filter that creates the screen flicker effect. It creates a strong sense of oppression during the game and I couldn't finish it all because I felt too scared. Maybe it's because I'm too timid, but that just proves the charm of this game. You've done a great job of creating a terrifying atmosphere.
