That ending (Spoiler)
So waste my time doing the ridiculously difficult task of saving everyone only to get that ending that ends in mere seconds, nice pay off lol.. not even joking very disappointed and i was overlooking some things that were put in the game for the sole purpose of making the game artificially longer.

I had no funding at all for this, so I had to pay for everything out of money that would otherwise be paying bills, and studios and actors cost a lot! But yes - hopefully a sequel will go some way to resolving Jimmy's story...

Agreed. Not even a mention of any of the friends, or any justice brought to Jimmy/Hugo. I'm not sure what the ending is if you don't save anyone. I'd imagine the same? Still a great game though

Yep. I feel like if you could save Jimmy somehow, then that would be a great way to wrap it up.

I agree on that and that's why I hope for a Sequel. But the game is all about finding stuff about Jimmy and saving your friends so I kinda understand why there isn't that much more.
Lets just hope for a Sequel.

Still a great game though regardless

First of i want to say i love the game and this isn't a toxic troll. I understand budget being an issue though my idea is maybe just fade to a black screen with police sirens and text saying maya reported Jimmy to the police and so on obvs i dont know the actual story ending after what we got but that was an example

I really hope there will be a sequel! I want to learn more about Jimmy, more hotel stories, etc. I love the atmosphere and gameplay you were able to create with a limited budget. I am hooked.

If I weren't so afraid of people IRL I would have offered to be one of the people rescued and done it for free. But I'm sorry it was budget wise. I'm still glad for the game in and of itself. It was and still is an amazing experience.

I admire your humbleness and honesty in responding to a gamer's critique. Hopefully this game will earn you big bucks and you can have a bigger budget when working on new projects.

Don't forget that you can always patch in more stuff (like adding in Myra's friends in cut-scenes and so on) when you have the funds. Games do this all the time.

What I would really like is for Jimmy to run right AT you on the harder difficulty, plus have him be able to actually go up and down the stairs and will also appear on the ground floor and Basement (add in a few hiding spots to evade him)

Also, can you add in the ability to call him from one room, then quickly leave the room and enter the room across the hall and then peer through the spy-hole and see him enter the room you just left....only be careful, because he won't be fooled so easily.

Oh! and make it so if you try and enter the lift with him on your tail, he stops the doors from closing and whacks you...or have him appear just as the doors close to give you that "DAMN! That was too close!" feel.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. Congrats on a great and spooky game.

I actually was thinking it'd be amazing to add a microphone on option.... This way you have to be careful not to talk too much smack while running from him. :P

i can understand the low budget but you couldnt have even added a fade to black with text like "maya and her friends were able to escape and contact the police but when the police got there jimmy was nowhere to be found." this both gives a more proper ending and allows the potential of a sequel.

An SCP like game would be really good with these mechanics just saying

The Alternate is when her friends never see Jimmy, because he sneaked up on them without them seeing him. Maya then has to explain how she knew by mentioning ghosts and the spirit box to the police, which of course will result in the police not believing a word she says. The police also mentioned that the Hotel has been abandoned for years, since Rose died. Jimmy was declared missing and was never found all that time.
