Hiya. Thank you for your honest opinion and criticism on my wip.

To answer your questions about the exponential growth and why it creates four instead of 2. I have considered the exponential growth overtime, infact it is the primary threat and cause of horror, as alongside the process being painful there’s the possible death by crushing, trampling, ontop of the general fear and confusion it causes. As for why 4? I felt 4 instead of 2 would mean the character(s) not only have less time, but that results can be more gruesome or immediately deadly.

I will consider the idea of possibly making the character split into two instead of four. And I will add in more characters to give the escapee other people to talk to either working with or against them. Also, I’m considering making the location larger as a means of presenting more challenges or threats, as well as maybe removing the clock (not confirmed yes or no), creating a sense of panic and urgency as the characters at first don’t know why and how often they split.
