I love how the style is so consistent throughout- from the \"start\" and \"quit\" buttons having phone icons, to the phone hangup SFX. That takes a lot of effort to put into a gamejam and I appreciate it so much.\n\nIs there some kind of smoothing done on the mouse input? I love it. It feels like a real horror setting where I am looking around with my actual eyes. It could be placebo though?\n\nOverall, this was a fun little game. I thought the gameplay mechanic was very creative and intuitive, and it stayed on the theme really well.

It builds a lot of suspense, because you're so unsure of what to expect. The mechanic is very unique too and adds a lot to that.
