It was a good game with a good concept. Regardless, I'd like to offer some tiny criticism.
To get straight to the point, the base form of IT is the creepiest. No doubt. And while I know IT takes the form of others as this is just the movie, 'IT FOLLOWS', in indie game form, the other forms are just more goofy than creepy to me. IT should just stay in its base form the entire time so I have no reason to crack up at its goofy 'mimic' appearance again.
Also, the 'creepy SFX' that plays when you have a direct line of sight of IT NEEDS to go in my opinion. ITs already a pretty tall entity, making IT easy to point out, so the SFX is just unnecessary to me. But that's not what bothers me. It's the realization that this game can be a whole lot scarier without it. Combine that with how tall IT is, you're guaranteed to not get caught by IT unless you get stuck in the crowd or run out of stamina. Also, consider making him the same height as everyone else. Force the player to actually have some situational awareness and look around for IT.
Finally, maybe add a tiny story that can answer unanswered questions. Like the point of the briefcase and why it is so important. Unless that's something that is answered when you're caught, but I didn't get caught.
Anyway, that's it. I just wanted to add some constructive criticism as I do think the concept is scary and could make for a great horror game. Good luck in your future game developer endeavors!
Much love!
P.S. Just read that this is your first attempt at making a horror game. Sorry if I came off as an a-hole. I hope you decide to return to this at some point!
Ah man, I really enjoyed this game (don't let the rage moments make you think otherwise XD)! It had me so stressed out and on the edge of my seat! I'm very interested in the lore/backstory! Keep up the great work! I followed you and look forward to what you make next! Bonne journée!
It was EXTREMELY scary and it was very well done! I unlocked a new fear...
The crowds were really scary as it hid the creature well and them getting in the way was just annoying enough but not a problem. Managing the sprint meter was also something I did not expect but I feel like it was just a tad bit slow in regeneration, which still made it scary! Plus the gameplay was simple but terrifying and just challenging enough!
Can't wait to see more of from you! Good luck and take care!
i'm not usually a fan of being chased in horror games, but once i got a hang of things, it was quite fun! the stamina/sprint bar is a LITTLE rough with how slow the character moves on top of the slow refill, but doable when comfortable with the "map" and items that turned out a lot of cash. i'd love to see the lore be expanded on in future updates.
This was a very fun concept and I enjoyed playing it, I was admittedly pretty bad because I was not managing my stamina. I'd love to see the story extended in some way as it has a lot of potential, great first game!
this game was very creepy and interesting. Really wish there was more cause it ends very suddenly. I got a lot a questions and no answers. Will be waiting for a big update hopefully.
Great concept! If you turn this into the full game I will love to play it! great use of atmosphere and the crowd works well. I live in NY so it felt real!
Hi bro! Nice game, i like the plot and atmosphere I'm a 3D artist and can do narrawite a little It will be cool if i could have a chance to help you with you games

My thoughts on Crowded. Followed.
+Great game, brimming with atmosphere
+Constant dread and limited sprint is a difficult but playable mechanic.
+Jumpscares will catch you off guard
+Reminds me of a VHS style horror game in quality, controls and gameplay
+Good lore and storytelling
+-It wish there was more!
Strong strong game for a first playthrough of a demo. I highly recommend and want to see this completed. 10/10
Watch my playthrough below
Simple Game, but it freaked me out fr bro xd

This is such a unique concept with lots of potential. The ai can be funny at times but its still great. Really good job on this 10/10.
