I think the game didn't account for me hiding behind the bathroom door unmoving. The objective list says 'survive', and the goal is to not be found, so I think it's perfectly reasonable to find a hiding spot and stay still until the sun comes up.
That said, I've been standing here for ~10 minutes and nothing has happened, so maybe make the monsters eventually autokill, or have the sun rise?
The game is actually intended to be linear, you follow cues around the house to get to the ending. I put the objective "survive" to create fear but then made the phone ring to draw players to the next point of interest. Apologies for the confusion!
this was awesome!! really good for a first game too. i loved the eerie vibe of the game and how generally creepy it felt to play without the use of jumpscares!! keep up the awesome work jamjar! looking forward to playing more of your games :))
Considering that this is your first ever horror game, I thought you did a fantastic job! It was a clever idea regarding the lights and curtains and can't wait to see what other projects you might have in mind. Oh, I got really scared in the end too haha, thanks for that!
For your first ever horror game, this is absolutely amazing, when I first played it I thought you had created a game before. This game was awesome! Too bad you can't survive though. :P
This game was short and sweet. The aesthetic was superb. I can't wait for a whole game with this vibe. For some reason, I never read what is in the top left side of the screen.
This is extremly well done, especially for your first horror game, your experience in horror shows, how it supposed to be done! It gave me the creeps all the way!
For the first game you created, this is incredibly cool! I played it with headphones on and I was so scared... It's just a shame the game is too short(((
This is a great game! This genuinely scared me and freaked me out multiple times. The second I saw the grainy TV I knew this would be a good horror game. So many times, I went "nope" and ran to the bedroom. The tension and the little things leading up to the big scare made it so much better. Especially for your first time and this being a collage assignment this was AMAZING!
I cannot believe how quickly this got creepy, the buildup and premise was so well executed.
Already scary enough knowing they're out there, but we having to shut off the lights on top of that, genius. Incredibly well done, especially with this being your first horror game!
got halfway now saw an open light i did not turn on scared the crap out of the the second time by the music and uninstalled it AGIAIN 10/10 for scary and music
holy freaking crap this scared the crap out of me FROM THE START even though there was just a guy knocking at the door and it scared me SO MUCH that i uninstalled it GREAT GAME 10/10
This was a fun game! I did wish I would have seen something spooky outside of the windows which I kept checking. Also wish there was some sort of kitchen spook when the phone rang. Other than that amazing game!

No need to apologize, I had fun!
Just something to consider if you make another game like this; the monsters gotta catch the scaredy-cats too!

Unfassbar good! Im really fan of the game

Wow, the fact that you need to close your own lights making it even scarier is genius!
This is extremly well done, especially for your first horror game, your experience in horror shows, how it supposed to be done!
It gave me the creeps all the way!

Spam-promoting your game under other people's work is not a good look or way to promote your stuff. Please don't do this in the future.
ok i wont.
Dude I don't think you realize BAD publicity exists. This shouldn't be how you promote it.
ok im not doing it anymore.
