The controls are a little bit of a challenge, and it's more than just mouse sensitivity. I think this game would have benefited from being presented from first-person perspective, which would enhance the mood, remove the placeholder player model, and simplify the look controls.

Neat concept!

@zyrjello You're right about the control, and the camera could get out of hand. I have been avoiding first person quite a bit as I have a few friends and relatives who get motion sickness from first person games, but have no issues with 3rd person or 3d in general. Adding a button to toggle into first person probably would not have been difficult and maybe I should have done that. I might try it out!

I've been wondering if people would play long enough to lose all of their sanity to see what happens, or to know how deep they made it. I'm going to need to do a leaderboard in one of these jams to see how people do.

Thank you for playing!
