does the game have jumpscares?

idk if "it" jumpscares you, i'm worried it will.

There's no jump to the scare, really, just a little "oh I can't go that way must gtfo". The Being is stationary, but often appears distorted, and you won't usually expect to see it when you turn a corner. I believe a static cue lets you know when you are near it (or the ceiling tentacle), so you can try to back up and find a different route to avoid it.

Encountering the Being (that is to say, being in line of sight) severely damages your sanity, even more if you're actually looking at it. Spotting it twice basically kills your run.

The closest thing to a jumpscare the game offers is one of the madness effects: the lights above your head blowing out.

[Miser_able]

nah. It just prefers to stand in the hallway, hoping you'll accidentally look at it.
the closest thing to "jump scares" are sudden changes in the atmosphere , like the lights going out or a strange sound.

In short, no.
