Super fun, very surreal, I mostly enjoyed the monster design and those little walking sound effects, which add a lot to the environment. Creepy, a bit difficult and towards the library section it does get buggy, but overall, for the jam version, this is good. Keep up the good work, dev.
Heya, thanks a ton for the video and feedback!
The wolf-like enemies in the library are teleporting, but the game isn't communicating it very well. I thought it would be cool but after some post-jam testing it feels more unfair than anything else. A rework is definitely in order!
The team is super glad you found the game surreal and creepy! Have a good one, man.
