Unique, this game
I hope this game gets more attention becaause I really liked it, for a quick experience 😀
This game was really good! It's simple, but the jumpscares are still very effective. The audio definitely added to the atmosphere too. I liked it!
I loved the game for it's graphics and Idea, I loved how the game became more random every time (Toilet on the bookshelf) and the little things not all people might not notice (The monster in game 1, Flying Item Star in game 3) The expirience was bizzare, thanks!
I loved the idea behind this game, especially when replaying it for a second or third time and things changing within the environment. The graphics are nice and the audio really adds to the creepy atmosphere. I’m not sure whether the game bombed out on me after the end of the third play. Either way, I thought I’d share my walkthrough as part of my “3 scary games” videos.
