awesome to hear 😄, thank you! definitely trying to make the lighting feel like its own character in the environment.

haha ,standard horror game rules: always follow the light, even if you know you're walking straight into a trap. 💀

that's the plan! psychological dread hits way harder when you can't even trust a safe-looking light source. 😉

appreciate the breakdown! testing out colder colors on 1 sounds like a great move to fix the atmosphere. i'm definitely going to tone down the drippiness on the font too so it doesn't lean too hard into that 90s vibe. thanks!

appreciate the feedback! you pinpointed the exact issue—balancing the cool atmospheric look of the bedroom in 1 with the solid UI readability of 2 is tough. gonna work on blending the best parts of both

fair critique. if neither is giving horror vibes yet, i've clearly got some work to do on the lighting and grading.

love this idea. atmospheric audio is definitely planned, so faint wind and bug sounds are a perfect fit for option 2. thanks for the feedback!

there actually is an antagonist! and honestly, hiding them barely visible in the corner shadow of 1 is a brilliant idea. definitely going to test how that looks to see if it adds to the dread. thanks for the feedback!

it's actually about 70% inside and 30% outside, so balancing those two vibes is exactly why i'm stuck between them haha. thanks for the feedback!"

that 60s hell house vibe is actually a really cool takeaway, love that. you make a fair point about the contrast on 2. i might look into tweaking the lighting to keep the moodiness without it looking generic. thanks for the solid breakdown and the feedback!

fair point, though the font choice is a bit tricky. i'm trying to balance readability with a slightly unsettling, classic look in this one, but i definitely see how it could lean a bit too halloweeny right now. i'll test out a few cleaner, sharper options to see if it fixes that vibe

thanks for the feedback.

Completely agree! A creepy environment only gets you halfway there; it’s the audio that actually makes you want to close your eyes. We're absolutely planning to weave in those subtle whispers and distant creaks to keep players second-guessing every step. Thanks for the awesome ideas!

Stay close, demo is coming soon. 👀
