Uuuuuuuuh the concept of the WASD+ctrl+shift keys doesn't really work. Had a hard time playing if I hadn't had a mouse (what about lefties :)?)

I like the idea of hiding / sprinting and the art. I think an easier control scheme would be good and possibly a way of knowing/predicting whether a ghost can see you.
Interesting idea but the controls are a bit disturbing. A soundtrack or a graphical update would have helped to get more the feeling of stealth and loneliness.
It's definitely challenging. But I never liked stealth games, especially
when I have to wait long and don't know when enemies are going to see me.
Me standing just a few meters away and them not seeing me never made
sense to me.
I'm not sure if there are multiple levels, but I couldn't go through the
first door which I unlocked. The screenshot you posted looks unfamiliar.
Kinda fun that if you're attacked by just one ghost and crouch, you
won't die. :P
Extremely clunky controls are killing it... having to release all keys and then hold the one I want now use is very unfriendly. I also found it too easy to get stuck in items in the level with no way out but restart.
Fix the controls and it might be fun.
