Deep Below by YaBoyCJ
Are you brave enough to find out who you are again?
Slight Epilepsy warning.
Story: You find yourself in a Hospital. How did you get here? Who are you? Why are you? Venture deep below, but be sure to keep a cool head.
Description: A PS1-Styled very short Horror Experience. No Jumpscares.
Other Notes: This game was made for the Ludum Dare 48 Game Jam "Deeper and deeper". (Also my first ever Game Jam!) While not as much Gameplay based as thought, the game builds an atmosphere around the place you are in. I hope you enjoy it!

First I think "to much post effect I can't read". And after I understand why! Nice trippy atmosphere. Good job! I really enjoy the end. I never saw that before!

Pretty interesting game. The mood and aesthetic were insanely good. Since it was so dark I missed the fact there were notes until the very last one. Overall though it was a good experience!

very moody. Just way to dark at some points. I had a hard time to find the way. Also any kind of gameplay mechanic exept of walking would have bin nice. :-)

The graphics are great, the mood is great! Even if there isn't much gameplay, this can be expanded on to make a great game

Interesting experience. I think the wave shader could've been less present, or perhaps it should've been saved for later to increase the feeling of going crazy (if that's what you want).

@sheepolution Yes, actually that is the plot of the game (Good eyes! :) ), Indeed i agree with you that the shader couldve been a bit less. Thanks for the feedback!

Sorry, I raised my contrast and brightness and couldn´t see anything. Just a bunch of white squares flying around.

@binaryprinciple You are not supposed to change any settings for the game, otherwise it might not work as intended!

Wow I really liked this! Credit for the interesting take on the theme. Reminds me a little of my own submission for this LD. It was a little too dark and I did miss the notes the first time around. Making it a little lighter would reduce the strain on the eyes for sure. Good work!
