Cool level, although I wasn't sure what's going on.

What ending did you get?

I got to the screen where that smiling being asks me whether I liked my time in the realm and I tried both answers.

These are the best endings I would say, the bad ones are earlier.

Thanks for making this unsettling little level!

I believe I found all the endings.

Spoiler: The Good (click to show/hide)

• EXCELLENT use of artwork and custom objects.
• Overlays worked well.
• I felt legitimately creeped out at some points in the game.
• I liked the use of "real" photographs. This might be the only time I've seen them used effectively in a KS level.
• SCP Foundation is ALWAYS welcome! (https://nifflas.lp1.nl/index.php?topic=6674.0)

Spoiler: The Not-So-Good (click to show/hide)

The gameplay itself was a bit "meh" for me. I found myself randomly trying different options to see which one would allow me to advance or see a new ending. Then a perma-death would occur, and I'd have to start over from the beginning. Even if your objective is to make the player feel frustrated/hopeless in a chaotic world, there are better ways to do this. By replaying the same conversations and scares over and over again, the "creepy" factor goes away and becomes tedious.

I think you have a gift for this type of level, and I would love to see the creepy atmosphere incorporated into a level with a true narrative/puzzle structure and some challenges.
