Developer Comments:

Hello everyone! This is my first commercial game, so go easy on me (laughs).

Anyway, I think the game turned out pretty well for such a short development time (2.5 weeks). That's right, 2.5 weeks! It may seem short, but I really tried my best to complete this game.

It's pretty obvious, but this game is inspired by classic horror arcade games such as Granny and Evil Nun, so fans of these games will probably enjoy it.

I sincerely hope that fans of the horror genre will enjoy what I have developed. Also, all ideas and suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated!

Tips:

NOTE: Lower graphics settings OR Enable Retro Sony PS1 / PSX Graphics if there are performance issues. (REMEMBER: You can also disable shadows and reflections in-game) (Most shadows are disabled at LOW graphics quality)

1. You can hide in lockers.

2. The enemy can only see its front.

3. You can hear the enemy. (Remember to wear headphones!)

4. The enemy can hear you. (Be careful!)

5. There are 2 escape methods. (For now, at least)

6. "Walk + Crouch" to reach greater heights! (Especially when you can't jump)

7. Remember! You can always try custom difficulty settings! (Yeah, I suck at game balancing)

8. There are objects in objects! Get it? (No? Don't worry, you will, someday...)

9. YOU CAN NOW ENABLE RETRO SONY PS1 / PSX GRAPHICS! (I used to play the original  Sony Playstation back in the day, those were good times alright) (P.S. FPS is higher when this is enabled)

10. Have Fun!

7/2/2023 (v1.0.4) -  Fixed a bug where certain objects can't be picked up / interacted with (ANDROID version ONLY)

27/2/2023 (v1.0.5) - You can now pick up a bowl of white rice, yay! Also added and changed a few things, but not much.

28/2/2023 (v1.0.6) - You can now see what's inside of glass bottles! (Thanks @AlpacaRun&RabbitCat! Check out his YouTube channel if you're interested, he plays Android horror games!) (https://www.youtube.com/@alpacarun)

Also fixed a bug where objects get stuck inside drawers (kinda) and slightly improved game performance (by removing lots of rigidbodies)

5/3/2023 (v1.0.7) - Significantly improved performance on LOW and MEDIUM GRAPHICS settings. (by disabling some lights, lowering texture resolution, lowering anti-aliasing, disabling bloom, etc.)

Now, instead of simply disabling lights, I made it so that the lights turn on when you enter a room and turn off when you leave, thus increasing performance while still preserving the creepy atmosphere. Cool, right?
