Solid for your first published game! The first half get me into the story and the second half isn't too bad. You got the retro style down and the set up for the most part is decent.
SPOILERS
With the chase I would've expected it to be a bit faster as the monster is very slow and honestly not that disturbing. I thought it would be some shapeshifter trying to impersonate a cat only for a weird demon cat to come out or something. I can guess with the MEOW sounds it's not meant to be a scary monster but there's tonal whiplash between the tall scary monster and the sfx. I'm not asking for loud music and big jump scares, but something more then a slow walking demon would pay off the build up more.
The walk down to trail 3 at night could perhaps make use of the radio to help break it up a little; It's in your hand so may as well get a few more lines in to break up the walk then have it cut out when you reach the trail.
Overall good start as a first time dev and you got another follow from me!
I loved the simplistic story! the atmosphere felt immersive, good job on the sound design! but for the end part, the chase was a bit slow, but over all a great tart for a game dev journey! hope you keep making more.
This game made me tensed the whole time so great job on that LOL Just hearing the strange meows freaked me out and I can't believe our character still worked there after that incident. I would notttt I would leave fr but I'm glad no one got hurt! Amazing game;3
MEOW??? Had me dying. Really enjoyed your game, had a creepy atmosphere. Ended up going back to replay it, noticed it can beat you up if you stay still! would have been great if the monster was faster. Overall, loved the game! (Game #2)
The meowing man was a nice touch. I wish there were more though. Not just go here then there and look at this and run away. Just a tip, make the world interactable, immersable. Nice little story though! Keep going and you'll get further!

very good but i found it a tad bit too short. great work, there's potential in this.
not bad for a small piece of creepy entertainment!

I guess i know why i shouldn’t hike alone. Don’t touch grass guy!
You really took the advantage of the player being in the woods. The tension freaked me out!!! Although the chase part are underwhelming.
