Let's get to it:
- "a" key is NOT standard way to confirm action. Posting controls here is good idea (a REALLY good one), especially when you use something else than "enter".
- Altair is about 17 lightyears from earth, so getting there with flower and bone is pretty impossible.
- Missing spaces in text?
- I guess this game allows instantaneous travel using some kind of altar. Long story short, i suppose i managed to visit Altair with bone and flower d;

Game looks nice, but it is really short. Why does match burn while game is paused (in equipment)? Or is it just my mistake to think it was paused?

You should really put controls to the description... I was pressing everything and still wasn't able to start the game :grinning:

Anyway, the game has a nice little story and some texts and descriptions made me laugh :slight_smile: It also gets really scary when matches are going off and you have to fight your way through like 4 UI screens :grinning:
The sounds are cool and they nicely support the mood. I'd like to play more games like this!

I really don't like horrors. especially badly controlled horrors. but the game is made nicely, although, it's not a small world per say. but there are cool graphics, and you've managed to make a lot of things in this short time

I had some higher blood-pressure while playing this :)

The controls issue is mentioned in the comments above. I had to press all keys on my keyboard to know what key confirms an action to get to the "controls" menu :) And then I didn't know what to use to open my invetory.

The graphics are nice, the story is short and entertaining :)

Thanks for sharing!

I like where you were going with this game, and I enjoyed the puzzle element and the panic it involved. The graphics and audio were quite good, although the lighting could be slightly smoother. The game also controlled really well, and I never had any issue with the game play and the menus. However, I never really felt all that scared. I felt rather frustrated when I kept getting killed and due to the dark couldn't actually see what was killing me, but never awfully scared.
