Yeah, pretty creepy. Did I just play a typing tutor? :) Well, the last couple of shadows are tough and you have to press a lot of buttons to close your eyes each time, which gets annoying. At least button mashing works!

Nice game, and although horror games are not my cup of tea, this was a nice change from platformers

Good game! Scary! Kind of annoying when you have to restart all over. But that fits the game so don't change it. I did only manged to get to 3. Very innovative.

Interesting idea. If you could host it in a way that didn't require installing multiple files that would be even better. Thank you for sharing!

My one suggestion would be that it would have been even better if the room had some decorations, nooks, or crannies such that the shadow creatures could be plausibly interpreted by a mind in dream-state from the arrangement of objects.

Concept is really interesting. Creepy indeed, but I think you should add some more scary sounds :)

The last two shadows are very difficult.
It'd put less of them in total, I got very sleepy through the first part of the game :P

I love this one! The graphics are bad on my card and I'm a bad typer though. :)

Insomnia is the best thing a programmer can get from life!
