The lighting in this game was exceptional ! The creature looked amazing as well.

I am kind of disappointed about the ending but still great for what it was. Well done !

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

Bonsoir, voici ma petite vidéo sur votre jeu, jeu court mais pas mal, quelques petits screamer efficace, l'ambiance est assez immersive.

De rien, avec plaisir.

I liked the scary ambiance in this game and the jump scares where fun. They were a little quick, so sometimes I wasn't sure what I saw 🙈

I was disappointed with the ending. Not only did the game end abruptly, it also gave me lore which hightened my expectations about the story. When those expectations weren't met, I felt cheated. I think this game is too short for the story you wanted to tell. I would love to see an extended edition and get to know more about the protagonist, the monster and why the protagonist is a target - and for what. I mean: why the backrooms? It feels so random.

I had an overal good experience with this game, though! I made a Let's Play video with all my feedback.

Thank you for playing, and for your support and sharing your thoughts; Your feedback means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the general aspect of the game!
As for the ending and the story, I completely understand your thoughts. But this was our first game so we kept it short as we didn't want to take a huge step.
Expanding the game is somewhat we might consider in the future!

You did a great job for a first game and I'm curious to see more from you guys!

Good graphics and the scares were very subtle! good game! 

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the game!

That ending took me completely off guard, I did not expect that at all. I kind of missed the jumpscares though cause they were a bit too fast but other than that, it was pretty fun. Though I will admit I expected the sleep paralysis bit to last longer, which is part of why the ending was so unexpected. Overall, pretty fun though not necessarily scary, just creepy. Your game is the second one on my video and starts at 8:52

possible to add Korean?

Thanks for your interest in the game! Unfortunately, we don't have the resources to support an additional language.

Google Translate?

Google Translate is handy, but it doesn't always capture the nuances of the language, which could impact the game's quality.

well done, keep it up!

Comments below clip:

Most humans have a natural affliction when it comes to darkness and the nights that bring it along with it. Despite all our senses, we're rather helpless when the shadows swallow up the light, and we can see very little.

This game squeezes hard on all those over-extended nerves, to pry away from hope and the need to escape. We become a victim of our own lack of a will to fight and get out of that room.

We do fall, but not into the night's arms.

I didn’t run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags. Kudos to all involved and thanks for making this awesome game.

Great effort, well done :)

Increase inital jumps, 

Dialog; could be more whitty/short,

Adventure could lead to more jumps/psychological intensity.

Apart from those TINY things, WELL DONE :D
