look, this is gonna sound harsh and , am sorry but... this is not good, the level design is competent (though the clipping in floors could use some work), and it has good build up but that's about it.
I get wanting to make a game about the "obey the walrus" but the reliance of the video it self felt like a crutch and the fact the last room was just the intruder face from "The Mandela Catalogue Vol. 1" just seemed lazy, and uninspired.
In another comment you mentioned getting unmotived by the end and the best advice I could give you one artist to another(granted I'm a author mostly though I have made a game before) is that you where trying to make your work something else; that thing being obey the walrus, and thus you were trying to be obey the walrus; That never turns out good. It always leaves you unmotivated at the end, trust me I've done it before plenty of times. Don't try to do what others have done, Don't be the next walrus, be the first you.
If you made a game inspired by obey the walrus and not based on it would have liberated you and more then likely inspired you as you would not be chained by the work of another and could change it as you saw fit.
So to make it short, be the first you, and nobody will be able to do you better, even if you is like something else just make sure it was you being you.
I saw you take negative critics well in some of the comments, I have the felling your young (though I might be wrong.) but if you made this in 20 hours like you've said then you are showing clear signs of raw talent, you just need refinement and some day you will be able to blow me and others away with your art and passion!
Yup, these are all clear points i am aware of. Tbh when i started making this game it had nothing to do with obey the walrus, it was supposed to be a found footage type game. Then i couldnt make a door open, and i spent about 2 hours just tweaking my code. I gave up, and in the end and just tried making the game as creepy as possible. Surprised me that you recognized the mandela effect face haha. All in all, yh it was pretty lazy, and i took a wild shot uplouding it to itch.io
The point of this game and its development was just to teach me basic game making skills, i had no desired end product nor plans. Thank you so much for the critcism, i am working on something rn which is 100 times more refined and these sorts of comments help a lot, more than the ones that say that they love this game.
good, remember, fail faster, everybody fails at first, so get all the rookie mistakes out in a few short projects before you do anything big so you don't spend too much time on it and you can learn the basics. I'll look forward to your future projects and wish you best of luck
At last, a comment about her problems? a comment about how she feel about the internet call him a monster? A comment about her depression because the video? Man the game is good, but The Goddess Bunny felt really bad about that video...
Congrats for your first game! I really appreciate your gameplay, very short with first person but fun to explore. A combination of VHS and pixelated is kinda cool. The ending video got me scared and funny at the same time. Looking forward for your next project!

Cool horror game based around "Obey the Walrus"... least I think thats the name of the YouTube video. Great job. Keep up the good work!
Was this inspired from that cursed youtube video?
Anyway, this was good :)
yea, i wanted to add to it more so that it would make more sense, but i ran out of motivation and time lol.
But thanks!
Awesome! ❤️
❤️
This was made pretty well for it being your first game made. The ending was kinda crazy lol. Here's my funny moments while playing (PLEASE CHECK OUT)
