I like the music in game, but you could add more creepy sounds. After playing two minutes the tension subsides, and it's not so scary to play anymore.
Graphics is the best part of the game. I like it and did not find any misuses.
I would also highlight the mood that the game conveys. First play was good :)
There is only one bug in game, that i saw its game restart. After complete the game and press restart button, i can go through all rooms and jump end it.
In general, the game is not bad and stands out relative to others
I'm not a huge fan of horror games, but I like the idea and how well it's implementated.
Well done!
i agree with @kuggenhoffen about the flashlight, it's currently very easy to just waltz through the map with it off and do all the tasks, never coming close to the intruder; perhaps some rooms could do with blockades or something to stop you from wall-sliding through doorways in the dark?
i also think that seeing the distance meter shoot up instantly once you interact with a task feels a little inorganic, i wish it was a little more secretive about giving the intruder a leg-up.
good work!
