Wow, first 5 stars for mood for me, so far! The game is seriousy gorgeous, and I'm a sucker for this dark/moody style.

Gameplay is a little simplicistic, but can be improved easily.

Thank you, it was great!

Beautiful, amazing game. The graphics style gives it a really great, scary mood. Only problem, it's too short!

Very atmospheric. The graphics were great, the sound was very good and wasn't annoying. Gameplay was relatively simple, and at first I thought you could attack with your light... but then I realized you use it as a weapon "against the darkness".
Good luck!

Visually stunning, but bit lacking in gameplay

The art was fantastic considering how short of a time you had to make it. I was a little confused if there was somethign I was missing. The mood is great but honestly the best way to play the game is running full speed because the light doesn't really seem to do anything to the spiders.

Still one of the best I have played so far, just need to tune the mechanics to match that excellent mood.

I think this needs separate controls for the light. It is not very useful if it can only be pointed in front.

The visual effect is very cool though.

Awesome visuals, loving the high-contrast style. Perhaps a bit shallow and easy in the gameplay department, though. Still impressive stuff!

Like the art style. The spiders attack me, even with my light directed at them.

The gameplay is too simple to be really interesting. It's very short... But I have never seen a similar aesthetic in another game. It's beautiful. Man you are a great artist. Thank you for this amazing travel in a nightmare. One of my favorites for this RD session. Thumbs up ++

A bit too easy, but damn gorgeous and showing a lot of potential. Kudos on managing to do the rendering process, artwork, animations, level design, and even the music in time!

And thanks for the WebGL version, it’s the only way I can run it on Linux.

Gorgeous, really nicely-atmospheric world! The sound is decent, but seems a little too high-keyed for my tastes.

Really nicely done. Add some puzzles and more complex quests and I would be completely happy playing this game for hours. :)

Great graphics and music set nice mood. Shame game is so short but it's a fun experience nonetheless. From gameplay standpoint game does not offer much but it's still enjoyable.
BTW: light supposed to scare off enemies but usually they were ingoring my flashlight and lamps
