Gotta love the mindset for this game you made, once I joined, the game was looking weird at first but then I remembered the developer and I was like "oh yeah, this should be interesting" so while I was recording, the first jumpscare of the portion surprisingly got me for I didn't expect as much so that was a good change of pace from the games I have seen from you and with it still following the weird type of style, it was definitely something worth playing not just for YT but also for my own personal time!
Thank you for making the video! Yeah, this game was kind of stranger than my others for a few reasons. The jam theme was "Dreadful nightmare" so I really wanted it to be scary or at least creepy. And all the art in it was made with craiyon then edited. I don't know how craiyon is now, but when I used it to make the art for this game, a lot of the stuff on there can turn out really odd and kind of nightmarish. The glowstick hand, I had to edit it especially because it had an extra thumb or something. I liked the textures it made for the rooms.
When I first found out about craiyon, I had a lot of fun generating screenshots for video game versions of movies I like. It might be better at that stuff by now, I don't know. I see a lot of AI-generated stuff on youtube now. I don't know if anyone's made any videos like that.
The red thing in the second room was meant to be like a bathtub drain stopper.
The TV room things on the wall I wanted to look like hummingbirds, but mechanical and evil.
You mentioned discord in another comment. I have to admit after looking around at my discord options, I'm not sure how to send messages to people.
It is so amazing how creative you are in such projects even when given specific topics/or subjects and how you are easily able to explain everything which I love!
I will say, the red thing definitely confused me with looking like a clump of pasta sauce but I liked it, I also started to patch things together with the drain concept once I seen the hole.
With the humming birds, I thought they were just very weird looking drills (I was correct somewhat) but now that you mentioned the hummingbird portion, it made me see them.
If you already got discord, instead of annoying you with the process of commenting a tutorial or something about how to friend people, I will send you this link to join my unpublished discord server to make it easier to get into contact:

Very weird... I like it.
Thanks for reviewing the game! Yeah, the hand in the game looks kind of weird. It was AI-generated, then I had to edit it a lot, it had an extra finger before. In watching your review and others, I'm thinking I should have edited it even more and also not had it be so big.
Pretty good. Nice little creepy game. I really liked the sound design.
Thank you for reviewing the game! I should have had a message of some sort saying the game was over, other then the alarm clock going off. I think if I'd have made it now, I would have had a giant more-clearly-an-alarm-clock object after the spikes, playing the sound, then the game would have closed.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Wouldn't worry about it too much. A message or closing or something in the future would be good but it's not a big deal.
scary
Thanks for playing and making the video!
That was really cool! It really sets the mood of a nightmare and the ambience is scary and well made!

Thanks for the video, and cool screenshot!
love the game thank you
Thanks, bro! Good playthrough! No secret rooms, but there is a floating ghost in the art room, it's the thing that screamed in the art room.
