@tinykidtoo In the end, the main character unites into a soup and this is a reference to the ending of an anime)

That said, the first jump scare noise that plays as you reach the second note was SO loud. I had the game largely turned down in the main menu but that sound still made my speakers shake my room... If I hadn't turned the game down in the main menu, it could've easily damage my speakers. I had to turn the game off there for the sake of my own hearing. It did scare the shit out of me though so props on that :P
As an aside, I would've loved a wider FOV. As is, the camera is extremely zoomed in.
