Incredible short horror game, genuinely would have paid money for this. It very much stands up alongside other games in the genre; the art direction in particular is quite striking and shows a strong, cohesive vision. Despite this sort of medical horror being a common trope, this game makes it fresh and interesting with a unique aesthetic that isn't normally used in other medical horror games specifically. I only have one minor criticism on the narrative side (contains ending spoilers): [spoiler] I feel one must consider very carefully whether or not any piece of dialogue has a greater effect than silence or sfx. Your villain loses a lot of her scariness when she's given dialogue; the Fear Of The Unknown created by her silence is much more threatening than any of the threats she makes, and at times some of the lines are veering strongly into campy territory, which doesn't really vibe with the dead serious atmosphere. To have an audio cue of her approach, some sort of inhuman noise probably would have sufficed. Plus, this gives you a nicer contrast at the end, from non-speaking to speaking, versus just a difference in how she speaks. [/spoiler] That said, you guys should be very proud of this game. There are games out there being sold for real money by supposedly professional developers that don't show this level of polish and artistry. I'm very much looking forward to see what you make in the future! :)
