I especially like the lighting system and the :eye: sounds (how do they even make sounds???). Very smooth controls too. \n\nThe major issue: where's the theme? The light never runs out, I was expecting to happen any moment. You never lose control of the character or become hindered in any other way either, in fact by the end I was an expert in dodging eyesight. The theme just isn't here as far as I'm concerned.\n\nGood entry apart from the previous gripe. Fine work.\n\n(You gotta give more ratings to get more eyeballs, just fyi.)","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Kev Adsett","author_uid":"1011439","time":"2017-08-14T06:56:26Z","epoch":1502693786,"modified":1502693786,"text":"@huvaakoodia thanks for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed the game.\n\nIn our take on the theme, we knew that \"Running out of power\" clearly had some mechanical implications, which we deliberately wanted to avoid, giving the player the sense of powerlessness without a physical power meter and battery pickups. As you noted, you expected the light to run out at any moment, which I like to think helps to deliver more atmosphere. Another way you could look at it is that they eyes are only \"powered up\" when the light is on them, so in a way, it's the enemies who run out of power, rather than the player.\n\nEither way, thanks so much for playing and rating - it all means a lot to us. :)\n","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Tuomo","author_uid":"1027054","time":"2017-08-14T17:21:17Z","epoch":1502731277,"modified":1502731432,"text":"Great game, one the best I\u2019ve seen so far! I\u2019m absolutely in love with the visual style. Atmosphere is really tense and it\u2019s interesting how I got the feeling that my torch was going out even though that was not the case (so I think your game fits the theme). \n\nOnly negative thing I have is this little bug I found: My strategy to avoid eyeballs was hugging the walls constantly. Sometimes when there was something behind the wall in reach of the light and I was positioned close enough the wall, light would show up behind the wall and sometimes reveal eyeballs without triggering them.\n\nLike this:\n![N\u00e4ytt\u00f6kuva (291).png](\/\/\/raw\/ea9\/6\/z\/8e0f.png)\n\nThat little bug aside, congrats on creating a masterpiece!\n","likes":1,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld39\/42323-03a3ad906546ce146ac779a128381fdd.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/nk.itch.io\/the-unseen","text":"macOS"},{"url":"","text":"macOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/nk.itch.io\/the-unseen","text":"Windows"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"51278","g_author":"1021479","g_event":"LD39","g_eventkey":"74","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"234642","g_title":"The Unseen","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"5","g_site2_node_id":"42323","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"42323","n_urlkey":"234642","n_parent":"32802","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/39\/the-unseen","n_slug":"the-unseen","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"21479","n_created":"1501340424","n_modified":"1501539524","n_version":"121011","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":42323,"parent":32802,"superparent":9,"author":21479,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"jam","published":"2017-07-31T22:17:07Z","created":"2017-07-29T15:00:24Z","modified":"2017-07-31T22:18:44Z","version":121011,"slug":"the-unseen","name":"The Unseen","body":"You wake in a dark room in the deepest depths of a dark dungeon\n\nIt\u2019s dark...\n\nYou must have committed some grave sin but that\u2019s behind you now.
