Stress Response is really cool! The idea of a stress-management game themed around common responses to stress (fight/flight/faint) is very neat, and I love the way the story is playing out so far.
I especially loved the way monsters can respond to whether you're looking at them or not (the eyeball monster giving you extra stress when you look at it, the statues being able to move when you don't look at them, etc.)
I also really liked the character art, specifically those pop-ups that appear when the player encounters a monster. The comic-booky visual style was handled really well!
On top of that, the sound was really well done. The music is plenty creepy (though it also has a kind of fun, whimsical feeling to it as well), and the heartbeat sound effect is great for reinforcing the game's stressful themes.
One thing I would've liked to see was a sound effect for when monsters attack you, and a fight/flight/faint encounter starts. I think this would've added a bit more shock/surprise for when that happens.
Otherwise, well done! This is a pretty great jam game overall. :D
