This was such a unique idea for a game! Highly recomend! 

What a creepey idea! And super enjoyable, i may have jumped a few times!

An Interesting chain of events thats for sure! W game.

very good game. Had a fun time playing 

5/5 - Creepy, Clever, and So Much Fun!
I had such a good time playing this! The atmosphere was perfectly eerie without being overwhelming, and there were a couple moments that legit made me jump. I loved the little details scattered throughout the environment—it kept me curious and on edge the whole time. The pacing was great, and the ending?? Chef’s kiss.
If you love short horror games that know how to build suspense, this one’s a must-play. Can’t wait to check out more from the dev! 🎮👻

maybe make a part 2 where police officers find the body’s and have to find out who killed them

this thing wants me to see him.

SUPER COOL CONCEPT 10/10!!

Great game, with an interesting concept and mechanics.

Good game, I like the tension that is generated by watching you.

GAMEPLAY EN ESPAÑOL

7/10

.

i love the game style it does give that horror feeling, but the game is very short and missing so many things

Bro, this game is so unique and great, keep working!

this looks like an amazing game but the mac version isnt working currently! idk why, the only pop up is simply "The application "pretend its not there" can not be opened"

liked it! was short and surprising! wasnt too scary but got a couple jumps from mr monster man!

Nice game!

Are You Ignoring the Elephant in the Room?

This is the first of your games I've played and I CANNOT WAIT to try your other works! This was a short game, but it gave everything it needed and did just as well as any other horror game! I LOVED IT!!
