Thank you so much! Though I will say that the intro kinda broke my eyes and ears for a moment, and the Mic quality isn't the greatest, but thank you for playing! I pointed out some things about your video that can be fixed:
The intro, just swap it out with some less ear punchy and seizure inducing.
The mic quality, either get a new mic or use some EQ to remove the loud volumes.
I don't speak Thai, but thank you for supporting me by just playing, this is making me want to continue brain storming for the final game in the series so much that, I'm gonna go work on the design docs! See ya when the last chapter to the series releases.
PS.
I hope this reply also helps you improve your content.
When I started to play this game, it's dark..
You mean because of the themes, or that lighting isn't bright sunny day, or is the game not running properly? Please specify since I can only help if I get the information I need. Also I'd recommend telling me what hardware (PC/Mac specs) and what OS (Linux/Mac/Windows). Then I might be able to help.
For example,
If the game is just blank, try running it on Linux (if you aren't already), since all my games are developed on Linux (Debian Linux 11/12).
If you are using MacOS, then remember the MacOS version gets NO testing, I release it because I used to do Mac Gaming, try grabbing a PC with alright specs (doesn't have to be a monster) and run Linux (or Windows if you don't wanna own your PC) on it.
I hope this helps, if it doesn't, specify the information I asked for and I'll try my best to help.
I opted to upload it today instead. Still good stuff! Looking forward to more from you in the future and whatever you make when you do! Short and spooky!
Nice! If you're wondering why this game took so long to make, it didn't! It took 1 day, but to get the idea took way longer.
you good yo! I look forward to seeing what you can do after spending like, a month on a game!
Thanks! The ideas to the next (and final) chapter to the series are in development.
looking forward to it!
Btw, I just created a Mastodon account, where I will post updates so make sure to check that out.

how to play
TLDR: Use the "Install Instructions" on the page.
First you need to download a ZIP file from the main page, if you are using Windows grab the file labeled Windows, if you are using MacOS grab the file labeled Mac, if you are using Linux grab the file labeled Linux. Then extract that ZIP file, now double-click the file "A Childs Nightmare.exe" for windows, "A Childs Nightmare.app" for MacOS, and "A Childs Nightmare.x86_64" on Linux. Now the menu should be on your screen, click the top option, now you should be in a bedroom. Use the W key on your keyboard to move forwards, use the S key on your keyboard to move backwards, use the A key on your keyboard to move to the left, use the D key on your keyboard to move to the right, and you can jump with the Space key. That should be all the information you need.
nice short
