Short, but it makes you feel as if you were the main character. I felt a bit sad myself

If you get stuck, remember you can zoom in on the table and mirror. Also the items are highlighted. Hope you enjoy the game! :D

Superb mood and audio, dripping with atmosphere! Short, but the spectacle of what is there was worth the trade-off imho.

This was a very interesting game. It had a very creep atmosphere and and I thought the mood of the game was done very well. The graphics were very hard on the eyes and I really did not understand very well what to do or how to play.

Very creepy atmosphere. I really liked your voice acting.
Great experience!

While very short, this was a cool little game, with a sad (but foreseeable) twist.

The only piece of feedback I would really offer is that, in future you find a way to remove the noise from the sound effects. You can do this rather easily and quickly within Audacity, for future reference. As others have said, the dark colours made things a bit hard to see at times (The doorknob was where I got caught up on for a while), but it still fit the mood well.

Good job with this! :D

Mood and audio was really good. Interacting with things was a bit awkward, was there a set order you had to go through the objects in? I got to the end but mainly just by going back and forth over each area and discovering things were clickable.

Really liked the mood and the sound was cool, but i didnt get that far despite the "creepy" atmosphere

Nice! I always love to see artistic games like this. I was quite creeped out at some points even though I didn't really fear that anything would happen to me, the atmosphere was just that good. The idea of darkness was conveyed very well, and not just in graphics, although those were great as well.

Great voice acting and atmosphere, I was a little confused at first but I got to the end. Nice take on the premise and a solidly creepy story.

The atmosphere really involves you.

Creepy! Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the subtly "off" things, like the number of people changing in the picture on the wall. Nice use of the simple art style too.

The combined keyboard and mouse controls were very obscure and the doorknob at the end was very hard to see. Other than that, a good entry :)
Oh, and the .zip in the first download link is corrupted for some reason
