The level looks amazing, although some assets feel very out of place. The music is ethereal and really fits the atmosphere. The potatopeopledesign is simply great, the lizardpeople was a slight letdown after that. It was a little weird at first having E interact when you aimed with mouse. The UI elements didn't look good and the font choice was pretty odd. Playing the game itself wasn't that enjoyable, it was just moving around and avoiding the lizards. Biggest gripe apart from the crashing was the lizard's chomp sound.

The graphics are beautiful, and the mood is incredible. Gameplay is very easy to learn, and with little time you can already understand what you need to do. My only suggestion, if I may say, is about the door assets. I think you could use some kind of asset that would indicate the doors more clearly, since I was confused at the beginning of the game haha, but nothing that would hinder the experience.
