It creates the mood with it's music, sfx sounds, graphics and the (a bit) frantic action. I liked it a lot.\r<br\/>The only thing: I may be quick enough to push the needed buttons when symbols in the sky and the windows show for only a second, but the animations and sounds are not the fast. I liked them,  but they are too slow to be the audio\/visual feedback for such a quick gameplay, IMHO.\r<br\/>What I also liked in the mechanics is how the appearing symbols\/events are distributed on the screen like their respective buttons on the keyboard.

I liked you showed how this person became the monster that he is, which is something very unique to this competition. Also, the art style is very nice I definitely see where a majority of your guy's time was spent just looking at the game alone. However, the one problem that I do have with this game is that it's very hard! It seemed that scare meter drained far too quickly as every progress I made with a scare was pretty much gone instantly. Which actually kind of made the game too inaccessible for me.
