Awesome Thank you so much <3

Corto pero bien ejecutado, me gustó mucho la ambientación y los gráficos en general, increíble, sigue así, éxitos!!

Dejo mi gameplay para que lo disfruten, lo pueden encontrar desde el minuto 29:30, abrazo!!

Thank you and I'm glad you enjoyed :)

It's a nice short horror game.

Thanks for playing it! :D

Included this in my 3 random horror game video!
Short but not bad at all especially for being made for a gamejam. Game definitely felt liminal with each of the floors, will definitely reconsider watering plants for a megacorp. Made a video on it.

I'm glad you enjoyed the atmosphere :D

short story with a fun twist. The scenery and music combination keeps the player invested.  I played your game (and a couple others) in the video below., you can check the chapters to find your game. Unfortunately, I can only include 4 games per video in my channels monthly challenge, but I still really enjoyed your game and wanted to include its gameplay. I'll be looking forward to any future projects you make!

Hey, thanks so much for playing! :)
