I didn't expect the monster so it made me jump a little the first time. Great atmosphere. Id like a mouse sensitivity slider because it was a little fast for my liking. Good game!

Great mood. Interesting graphics.

The maze could have been easier to navigate if there would have been some additional decorations buy mabe the point was getting lost.

A bit short too but I enjoyed it.
as SkullPixel said, mood is 5/5

It is a great game with good low poly graphics. I loved the atmosphere and also the Twitch integration hahaha. I just think i'm not lucky with this game but it is pretty good. :)

Great horror maze game. I couldn't escape. Also I agree with the comments of @kungkras.

The game has a great atmosphere! The graphics and the sounds effects were pretty cool. However, the maze was too confusing, all the hallways looked alike so it was very hard to know where were you. Also, could you even escape from the monster, or once he sees you you're basically dead? i tried to outrun it and it wouldn't go away. Anyway, it's a very good job :).

Great atmosphere and feel to the whole thing. I feel like you could have done a bit more to differentiate the different hallways. As it is right now, it is extremely easy to get lost, and then its just aimless wandering. You had some boxes occasionally, but more decor like that would go a long way. Also, multiple play times the game began with the monster right in front of me before any branching paths, so I would just be doomed from the start. Maybe a timer before the monster can spawn, or some changes to your level generation would be good to minimize that.

Very atmospheric game! The graphics, lighting and ambient sounds create a really great mood!

Some more features in the maze, might make it a bit easier to navigate and explore.

I'm sorry I had to put a low score on fun, because I just didn't dare to play it (especially since I read in the comments you can encounter the monster). The mood is reallly good, however, and the graphics and sounds effects were nice.

It didn't expect that, the monster made me jump even though it didn't look scary, however, the overall mood and atmosphere (especially the lighting) put me on the edge. The game is nice but I am not good at first person mazes since I never find the way out especially when every path looks similar, and I am not good at horror games too (I don't like them still I enjoyed this one). The sound design was great too and helped build the atmosphere a lot.

Really cool concept! Didn't get a chance to try out the twitch integration but it seems awesome. Would be cool if there were a non-twitch mode :) Really great atmosphere too, definitely scary. Didn't find the key or anything, would be nice if there were some more clues to help you through the game. I also had the issue where the monster spawned really close to me at the start on one playthrough. Still a really cool experience, nice work!

The mood is super. Graphics are minimalistic but they work well. However, including more variation among the hallways would probably be a good idea.

My first game only lasted for about 10 seconds, which kind of seems like a problem, so making sure the monster spawns a good distance away would help.

A definite 5-star on mood. This game delivered a great feeling and it's the perfect type of game to make for Ludum Dare, very nice!

Really scary and atmospheric. I freaked out several times playing it, even though the main enemy is just a black cloud. Splendid work!
