What do you think?

Well I definitely felt powerless... particularly when starting in so much darkness that I'm clinging to every bit of light I come across! And I still keep hearing the sounds of the enemy patrolling even now!
Fantastic game, really dripping with atmosphere and unsettling all the way. I still haven't completed it all the way but I'm enjoying it so much, keep up the amazing work :D

same message that i posted on your devlog. sorry i'm being a bit of a stalker
hi, in the small chance that you ever read this i'd like to say i really enjoyed your game. i love the sound and the atmosphere. i have no idea what the facebook, skype and italian television sounds are all about though. i've noticed many bugs as you said you expected. one bug is that the watcher sometimes won't "depart for the wooden woods". he just stands there. i played until i defeated the monster with an eye on its chest and a knife for a head (and the voice of an italian female narrator). but i couldn't continue because i didn't know where to go next without the watcher to guide me and i can't be bothered to start all over again right now because the tunnel part is too hard: the ball won't go straight. it literally goes back or sideways when you push W, or gets stuck behind some invisible obstacle. i believe it has something to do with how you implemented the vacuum cleaner monster since it happens more severely (i think) when it's closer, even though it's behind a wall and can't be seen, and it doesn't happen at all outside the tunnels or in the short tunnel without vacuum cleaners. it often gets extremely frustrating and getting past even very narrow trenches took me very many attempts. it gives you the feeling that the floor is slippery. anyway i really loved it and i hope it gets somewhere. some things are extremely hard to fine. i can totally imagine a meticulous person not discovering the eyeballs on the roof because they entered the house correctly at their first attempt without trying to jump over the fence to be quicker, not jumping all the way up to the roof. also i had to watch your walkthrough to find the shorter straight tunnel full of all kinds of ammunition. it would make my day for you to reply, even if the game has been cancelled (as i expect). i'm truly sorry it doesn't seem to have mustered the amount support and attention it deserves.

i've only found three eye-balls type of ammo on the roof of the woman's house. i have explored all of the map, including the tunnel where you go as a ping pong ball to soak in gasoline, but i can't find hte one more that i need to "offer my sight" to the skull-god in the "wooden woods". anybody knows where it is? you need two for hte mask of blindness or it won't teach you the trick you need for the gasoline balls, but then i oly have one left for the god which isn't enough

i'm a huge fan of your game (i hope my username will serve to advertise it a little). simply love the atmosphere. may i let you know about a few bugs? i played it until the house burns and the get the corpse arm but the watcher just won't depart for the wooden woods. yes, i want through the tunnel with the ball and and soaked it in gasoline. i went to pray for the god and the skull appeared but i don't know what to do then without the watcher. yes, once the watcher DID depart for the woooden woods, when i hadn't figured out about the tunnel for the balls and the one gasoline ball you find outside the tunnel was for some reason enough (the woman didn't die though), but then there was no spiral in front of the god and i couldn't go on. also the ball seems to have troubles in some points in the tunnel. it's as if an invisible wall appeared and prevented it from moving in a certain direction. i figured out how to get on the rooof by accident while trying to get into the house jumping over the fence instead ofmoving around it, so you might want to make it more intuitive (just something you might consider). i hear the facebook message sound sometimes during the game. is it on purpose? thanks for reading. in my opinion the ghosts and the skull with arms contrast with the other enemies and characters which are some sort of living mundane objects, but that's also just an opinion. thanks a lot for reading and congratulations.
