Enjoy the premise of the game so far, having issues with Night 2 where the flower painting doll keeps ending the run. There aren't any audible or visual indicators to tell the player that it will soon strike, when the painting changes the night has failed with no means of reacting. The ballerina has the audible cue of when the music gets louder, the amount of time you have left to find the doll is less, the painting has nothing like that and you can end up dying even if you've exited out of the bed by the painting.
The amount of lighting there is at night is great, not too long to be able to see far, but not none where it's frustrating rather than scary.
I liked the art style and the sound design of the game. However I found out the second night just too difficult. From my experience you basically need to rely on RNG of Mariena in order to fill the sleep meter, which can be frustating.
Overall it's an interesting game, hopefully the full version can be more balanced and dive deeper into the story.
Congratulations.
