Although disappointing for it to turn out as a Fnaf "clone", this game is still very good and has many great tricks and moments up it's sleeve to elevate itself above most others and leave it's own unique mark. The art style and quality of the in-between night sections are enough to distinguish it and make me wish there was more of them rather than the fnaf-styled gameplay. I'll be looking forward to whatever this developer might make next.

Screechy random jump scares are not suspenseful. You can literally include a type of music that all horror movies/narrations use (DMC proof too) that instills the same anxiety without having screen jump scares.

I got this game early on gamejolt also i know the developer but I'm gonna be completely bias...
THIS GAME IS SHI- JK this game is genuinely one of the scariest games i have played ever yes it does give off FNAF vibes but that is because of the camera system, look beyond though, it has a good story I'm only on dream 3 and i can see that already I recommenced getting this game and i hope you enjoy it if you do.

Was a fine enough FNAF clone until I got to the 8th and possibly final night. At this point the difficulty spikes beyond a ridiculous degree to the point where it's unwinnable. It seems like the game starts disrespecting it's own rules to the point where success here seems more like luck, especially given the unpredictable nature of the enemies. Half my playtime was likely attempting that final level, and I've had enough. Not recommended.

I guess it's a nice game; afterall I can't complain too much considering it's price.
However saying it's "rough around the edges" would be an underestimation.
I really like the concept and I can see that there was a lot of work put into it.
It has some cool mechanics and a pretty decent and interesting story.
However, the "main" gameplay (so said surviving the nights) is really plain.
It's really just the same thing over and over with barely any difficulty changes and it just gets boring at some point.
Then, at the 8th night (which should be the last, I think) the difficulty shifts and it's sweatingly hard to win.
The only enjoyable parts of the game are the intersections with the story-telling, but I don't think I would pay even this small price for just that.
I also had some trouble when I first started playing it.
When the second night came, the UI changed to something different (maybe a demo or beta version) and it was completely broken. I had to re-install the game for it to switch back to normal.
And for some reason, the achievements aren't working either, and I'm not the only one appearently with this problem.
My final view on this is that the game looks like it has potential, but it really would need some fixing around and some rework or features added, because for now it's just unpleasant to play.
That's why I leave a good review, in the hope that even after 2 years of it being released, it can maybe improve in time.
However, I'm getting my money back to spend it on a coffee, this game might earn them back when it'll be worthy enough.

'I think this is Dope! Very good. I like it a lot. Very very good.'
When he gets jump scared, you know it's jumpy!
But it's much more than that. Caught the first play thru on youtube, and couldn't stop watching!

I REALLY enjoyed this game, legitimately in my top 10 of this year! But, like all indie horror games, it does have its flaws, however, the creepy moments, super cool art style, and genuine disgust i got from some scenes outshine it all!
Pros:
LOVE the art style!
Some scenes are suoer creepy while not relying on jumpscares
Cons:
Story can be a bit all over the place
Very short game
the creepiest scenes are in the trailer which sucks
Overall rating: 8.5/10, one of the best of the year!
Edit: Nominated for best visual style!

This is an amazing game and I'm shocked it's just $1. It plays like a mix of several FNaF games with the monitors, flashlight, and vents. I gladly would have paid more for this game. The game gives you barely enough flashlight battery to make it through the night and you have to be very fast to win the later levels. The story is very dark and the game is quite disturbing. My only complaint is that I played through the entire game, and for some reason, I didn't unlock any of the achievements.
