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!
Changelog:
12/1/2023 (v1.0.0) - Initial Release
18/1/2023 (v1.0.1) - Fixed Some Bugs & Added macOS Version (I don't have a Mac, so comment down below if there are issues)
26/1/2023 (v1.0.2) - Some Quality of Life Changes (Changed Lighting, Added Reflections, Option to TOGGLE or HOLD Left-Control / C to Crouch, Option to Disable Reticle (Provides More Immersion), etc.)
27/1/2023 (v1.0.3) - Changed Lighting (Again) (I also replaced the "fog" in NIGHTMARE mode with some (IMO) better lighting, but do let me know down in the comments if you want the "fog" back again)
29/1/2023 (v1.0.4) - NEW: RETRO SONY PS1 / PSX GRAPHICS! (Also, you can now DISABLE SHADOWS and MOTION BLUR is now OFF by default)
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?
Known Bugs / Issues:
1. Cloth physics still not working. (The player just goes through the cloth like it's a wall) (PC v1.0.7)
2. The player is unable to break the window in the toilet near the spawn point. (Where does it lead to? Take a guess LOL.) (PC & Mobile v1.0.7)

I tried the training mode and passed, it's a good game.
Thanks for playing! You really made my day.
Also, do you have any ideas / suggestions for the game? I might just add it in the next update.
What is unrealistic is that people in the game don't even know what's in the glass bottle.What's in it should be directly visible.
I haven't tried other modes yet, and my comments will be revised.
i will feedback again in the future
Can you make the bedroom and toilet bigger? When I open the bedroom door and then open the toilet door, I can't move here.
i means that Let the distance between the doors be larger.

1. I don't really know why the game's fps is below average when the level's so small, but I'll try to think of something. (In the meantime, you can try the "Retro Sony PS1/PSX Graphics" option, that one's much smoother)
2. At first I wanted an element of surprise, but if that's what you think, then alright, I'll make it so that what's inside the glass bottles are visible to the player in future updates, so thanks for your valuable feedback.
3. You mean the room where the player spawns, right? Could you take more screenshots? I can't figure out what you mean from the one you took. Sorry, and thanks.
Update: Did the door to the small toilet push you into the wall? That's the only thing I could think of from looking at your screenshot.
