Awesome entry. Loved the aesthetics, the opening cinematic and the sound design.

The AI follow is sometimes too good to escape from so the game is a bit hard until you learn the layout of the map. Also I couldn't see the connection to the theme but maybe I missed something.

Overall great submission :D

Loved the artstyle and sound. Challenged me more than I thought it would and it was a super cool experience!

The opening is really cool, and the game has a strong ambiance. The difficulty of the game gives a decent amount of playtime compared to the small level. Game is really solid but like @ssiannas said I don't really see the relation to the theme sorry.

The initial art style is really cool!
It was a bit hard to figure out the controls—maybe I skipped the intro. It would be helpful to have some on-screen hints.

很精美的小游戏,不过一开始确实有些困惑,怪物的寻路好像有些问题,卡在墙角就不会动了

The drawn animation artwork is beautiful! And poor Timmy having to endure such scary occurrences... Was really immersed and had a good time! Great work!

Simple but fun gameplay! I did notice a bit of janky AI that I could consistently bug out on the way up and to the left. Also, the art style in the menu is super well done!

Really nice, especially liked the opening animations and the overall style and mood. It was a bit too hard for me so I didn't get to the end, but I enjoyed trying! Nice job

Amazing cutscene! I do think I had a bug, because the monster stopped moving completely. When the monster did move it was quite difficult to out-run it.

@ssiannas @oxnh Thank you for the comments :) Yes I understand the relation with the theme is a bit hard to see. We actually wanted to represent the depth of the minds/ the night. We tried to make it feel like a nightmare of a child reflecting the situation they could face at home. But indeed we kind of struggled to pass the message through in a clear way.
Anyway, thank you so much for playing though, it's nice to know you appreciated it (despite the lack of coraltion with the theme)

Wow, the cutscenes of this little game are outstanding. The keyframes are so solid! :) Really liked the overall mood, a very scary experience!
The pathfinding system had a little bit of trouble when you position yourself in a diagonal distance from the enemy, with a wall between you and him. I did this twice to avoid him and he got stuck there for the rest of the playthrough. All that said, is a great entry with a lot of mood and a really impressive art! Liked it a lot! :) Thank you for the game!
