This is a really cool concept but boiling it down to a simple jumpscare is a rather underwhelming note to end it on, considering how much you could make the player paranoid about something being behind them without resorting for the most extreme option (the door opens and a monster enters) right off the bat [a greater focus on ambience would a long way for freaking the player out, espec. considering that all the scariest moments I've had in horror games *have* been from the ambience, and the times you lose track of whether a sound effect is simply coming from the game or if it's coming from real life]
that or taking the alternate approach and messing with the player's own reflections, the way staring at a mirror with little to no light gradually morphs your face into a form worse and worse the longer you stare (considering how much uncanny valley already plays into horror you could exploit this a ton by applying it to the player's own face)
Either way this is a super interesting experiment and -- if you ever feel like expanding it -- I'd love to see more of it
Was a little confused on if breaking the TV was an ending or not or if it was a bug. Would love to hear back from you. Really enjoyed it just wish it was long <3 Grynch

Alrighty. I will make it longer, or I will add 2 more endings.
Have a nice day, Grynch!
Oh and also, yes you got an ending by breaking that.
But it isn't a TV, it is a mirror XD
Oh lol my appologies lol! I'll definitely be playing it again soon ^_^
You made my day.
