I enjoyed it, although I didn't really understand the challenge or point of the game. I breezed through the levels pretty easily. It has a lot of potential though!

Got a bit startled at first, but the basilisk didn't seem capable of following me, so the overall atmosphere was somewhat dull. Not much replayability either at the moment.

It's funny how low-fi can freak you out more easily than HD quite often. It's a pity there's only one level, I solved in pretty quickly.
