[BUG REPORT, SPOILERS!] Alarm Clock.
In the first chapter, The House Abandon, right after turning on the generator and going inside at the abandoned house section, you have to flip on a lightswitch. This creates a domino effect however, as an alarm clock in your room will go off, giving an inital user a bit of a shock and make them panic a bit. Typing "turn off alarm" will stop, and that's when "The panic sets in." However, you can turn off the lightswitch and turn it back on. The alarm prompt will occur again, but this time, it does not play the sound. From my understanding this can be reproduced multiple times. On a side note, I'm not sure if I misspelt anything, but the second time I had an occurance with the alarm my initial command produced "I'm sorry I don't understand." I will be testing this further to see if this statement an accident or not. To me though, it would seem like the alarm should not go off a second time, as the panic has already set in and the effect it first had on the player would not appear again, possibly even a mild annoyance. I know how much you guys pay attention to detail (I mean jesus, you put a city out of a window in an area in chapter 4 that nearly nobody would find) and if this was unintentional, it could possibly ruin the true feeling of something unsettling, making the atmosphere become less fearful and possibly even make the player laugh. I will be reporting more bugs when I find them and I hope you all over at no code can fix these bugs, as I love what you've done and I'd like it to stay that way for others.

EDIT: I went back to test the second time I had an occurance with the alarm bit, and I guess i was being a bit undescriptive. On the second time, the clock only beeps once before being cut off by the music, and good news! The "I'm sorry I don't understand" part I was talking about WAS just a misspell, so just the alarm being cut off. My reccomendation for the text replacement if you guys do fix this bug is this:

"The hallway is the same as before you turned the lights off and on. Smelly and putrid, you want to leave so badly but it's almost as if the walls themselves are whispering, telling you to look around some more.

Someone is in the house. They should not be here.

There is a kitchen and a living room adjacent, and stairs leading up.

The note feels disgusting in your hands."


Of course that's something that I made up in about 5 minutes and while I am very sure you guys will think of a replacement, this is just my suggestion :)
