I just played this (I meant to during the jam but I never got around to it, I’m very sorry about that)! I had a wonderful time! I was shocked by how it actually was pretty unnerving, I expected the lack of the ability to see to take something from the experience, but it actually didn’t! Only one complaint: I wanted to use the map to track where I was, but it didn’t tell me where I started so I didn’t know where to start writing. If this is fixed it’s a 10/10 game!
Also did a quick speedrun :3
I DID IT
Holy shit
Thanks for playing
8/. That’s so sick xd
The text that IT is 6 steps away from you is terrifying
this is me writing a comment before I play to see how scary it is
this is me writing after I played it, it wasn't too scary but the big text that said IT IS 15 STEPS AWAY did freak me out as I frantically tried to run away
