Awesome game. Quick, scary, fun, and enjoyable. I finished the game withing 30 minutes, yet it left me wanting to play more. Loved it, 8/10, severely underrated, especially as it is free and well made.1 found this helpful
Very decent game, free to play and worth a play through.
Homie 15 when they made this so respect but if the design is "use key to open a box that just has another key", even in 2019 that's kinda whack imho. Also making it so it's a lever in the safe instead of a key doesn't really help. i feel bad but just my honest take, sorry :( take with salt, and all the best on your future projects.
Lacks options for volume, and sensitivity. Kinda scary, but its unclear where to go. For a little bit I though it was mining crypto on my computer, but it's graphics are just poorly optimized.
Nice game, keep it up!
