If the mouse cursor disappears on the diary page and you cannot exit, press Esc to leave.

Hey. I took turns sleeping, reading the diary and fiddling with the frequency. I had no idea what I was doing, or whether it had any impact, except that I was able to get static at different frequencies, but I din't know if that did anything, or why. In the end, I've understood the signal, and it understood me, but I don't understand whether what I did had an impact, and how! Interesting visuals.

Interesting game, I like the glitchy screen effect, nice work!

The atmosphere is superb, and I'm really curious about how they achieved the special visual effects. However, I still haven't figured out the gameplay.

I know exactly what you wanted to go for here and I like the vibe and asthetics but I was quite stuck at first because the book tells you how to use the radio but I used it and heard nothing and I was like: "is this bugged?" I tried a couple of times checked the book again looked at the bright and dimming wall but didnt see anything and it wasnt really clear at all that there was this other room and that I had to sleep. But I loved the vibe! :3

Once in my room, I went to read a magazine. Then I decided to go to sleep, but I couldn't. I tried to turn the radio, but found nothing. But I managed to sleep. Then some guy started talking to me in Japanese. Not understanding anything, I went back to sleep. It's just like in real life: If you don't know what to do, go to sleep, hahaha.

In my humble opinion, they should have added something between the game actions, because right now the core loop of the game is: Turn the radio → sleep → turn the radio.

I found the game very creepy, but that only adds to the atmosphere.

I like the atmosphere, but I don't understand much of the story.

I'm going to echo what a lot of others are saying here, the game's vibe and atmosphere were extremely creepy and created a lot of unease. I felt the glitchy filter on the camera was a bit unnecessary and didn't lend to the game's minimalist style. I also didn't understand the voice sometimes, but when I did, it was really freaky! Well done on a super minimal yet uneasy atmosphere!
