Animalia Memories by creekyasher

Animalia Memories is a short psx inspired horror/walking sim.
The lore of the game was inspired by the theme as well as some of the level design choices.
This is my first game jam, and first "completed" game project ever!
Enjoy, and please give feedback!

I finished and it reminded me a lot of the classic Slender game!
For some constructive feedback: I felt like the footstep sound effects could be more frequent, since the player moves at a relatively fast pace. It didn't seem like there was any danger while collecting memories, so to make the player a little more creeped out, you could have an array of spooky sfx that play at random times behind the player? Also; it seems like when collecting memories, this is the sequence: click to collect, physical object disappears, sound plays, light source disappears. If it's a code thing, you could have the light source disappear at the same time as the object, then have the sound play. If it's a rendering thing, you might have to look more into that.
Overall, very fun, very spooky!
