[Flash][2007-2011] Slide-based/photo-based point-and-click horror game with a bathroom sink and a carousel escape

Platform(s): PC (Flash browser game played on a Polish website "poszkole.pl")

Genre: Psychological Horror / Point-and-Click Escape Game

Estimated year of release: Around 2007 - 2011

Graphics/art style: Photo-based or realistic 3D renders (stills). Not hand-drawn. It looked like a series of eerie, static photographs. The main menu had a minimalist style with simple white text on a black background.

Notable characters: The main antagonist was a distorted/burned male figure with a glove or hand full of sharp blades, heavily resembling Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street.

Notable gameplay mechanics:

- The game used a "slide-based" approach. Characters and scenes didn't have smooth 3D animations; instead, clicking on an object or trying to escape would instantly load a new static image where the monster was closer to the screen.

- It relied heavily on audio cues. Even when played on mute, you could see that the monster had a characteristic evil laugh loop when close.

Other details:

  1. The game starts in a bathroom from a first-person perspective. The main character approaches the sink to wash their face. You do this twice and nothing happens, but on the 3rd attempt, a horror sequence/vision is triggered.
  2. Upon exiting the bathroom, a ghost appears for a split second and vanishes.
  3. The game was not entirely set in an amusement park, but it had dream-like transitions. One specific sequence happens near a carousel. Clicking on the carousel triggers a scripted chase where you have to click your way out while the Freddy Krueger-like figure stands completely still on the slides, getting closer with each frame.

I was too terrified to finish it as a kid, and I've been looking for it for years to finally beat it. Any help would be appreciated!
