      There's only one game that I can recall that did the "normal-looking game turns into nightmare fuel" thing that I actually liked, and that was Pony Island. (Then again, it's not really a secret since the game's description explicitly tells you this was a game made by the in-universe Satan, so it probably doesn't count.) The rest of the recent ones, especially that one overhyped one which I shant speak the name of because it is plainly obvious, are pretty crap.

    I love the subversion of the "masked creepy game" trope by actually being a chill open world but with eerie aesthetics and time of day, instead of being super nice and innocent only to devolve into madness which is finally recently played its course out into a cliché for the time being until it's utilized again in the future.

    I actually really like the Line it teeters on.
    Everything is dark with weird colors.
    Outside is very eerie, making you rush to the nearest building as quick as possible.
    You're in no danger, but you just feel uneasy when you're not playing the games.
    I really hope they don't try and push more to the scary side of things to add like a monster or something. I think if they perfect this strange line they're towing it'll be something genuinely unique.
    Maybe have rushing cars from Tourists making the Roads unsafe, or random, shady people offering "Jobs" when you're out of cash.
    I rather it be Eerie, than Scary, if that makes sense.

    One of my first jobs was at an arcade! Even back then they were totally out of style and the place was always empty. There were only three employees. Anyway, one day I was really sick, so I tried to call in and the boss said that the other two had already called in, so instead of taking the day off, I had to work a double. So imagine your head is all stuffed up and you're tasked with overseeing a huge dark room full of flashing lights and weird sounds. By about hour 11 I was tripping balls so hard the chef from the adjoined pizza parlour had to come drag me out from behind a Silent Scope machine.
    Anyway, this game seems to do a pretty good job of capturing that feeling.

    This game legit looks really cool, I'm actually excited to see what all they add to it.
    Maybe they could eventually add a little carnival that you can pay to ride the rides and stuff.
    Perhaps they could also add like a rival arcade or something else along those lines.
    Or maybe they could add a hidden storyline that has you searching for specific items that do secret things that progress the story. I would definitely want the storyline to be something that you would have to go out of your way to start and finish, something in the background that you could play the whole game without realizing it was there.
    I don't know, this game just gives me those vibes like something could totally be there...if you would just look a little deeper.

I'm glad you did, too...I feel like this is a game that deserves some recognition for the amount of effort put into it, and I feel like it might not've gotten that recognition otherwise. Hopefully people will take notice of it and give it a try. I'm looking forward to seeing how the game develops, really. I am especially looking forward to seeing that second arcade open, the UFO one. What games will be there? Will there be something like Teddy and the Ticket Munchers, or will it be some other, non Chuck E. Cheese's style arcade?
    As a side note, great job on the camerawork for the in-game shots. I'm assuming you got most of it by just recording your first person movement, but they were all smooth and framed well. It almost looked like you were using promo shots from the developer, not captured gameplay footage.
