| Pros | +No bugs or glitches +Sound design is good +Mouse controls work well and are intuitive. +Seems to capture the vibe and aesthetics of the source material +Polished overall |
| Cons | -I struggled with the keyboard controls, but that's probably just me -Window is really small, and I couldn't figure out how to resize it -The tutorial is explained with audio, but there's no subtitles, which can be an accessibility concern. |
Gameplay 7 / 10 |
Basically, you're in a maze-like school, and you need to collect notebooks. You are being chased by Vanessa, and you need to avoid her. There are various obstacles in your way, but there are items to help you out. Admittedly, this is not the sort of game I enjoy or have much patience for. But it is clear that this is competently made, as things are polished and everything works well. This is also a demo, so the problems I listed in the cons may be fixed in the final version. |
Graphics 9 / 10 |
While the walls can be a bit garish, it replicates the style of the original very well. It is clear what is interactable and what is not, so there's no ambiguity. There is enough decoration to keep things from being boring. |
Sound 10 / 10 |
The sound is well done. The background music is nice and cheery without being grating. The sound effects are fitting and not overbearing. There's voice acting too. |
 |
While there are some issues, this is what a demo should be: a polished showcase of what the game will be. |

"-Window is really small, and I couldn't figure out how to resize it" You can access resolution settings via the options menu in the main menu. The resolution of your choosing and fullscreen is saved per save. |
