The art direction of this game is just amazing. From the sprites to the music to the feeling of hearth when you are near a fireplace, to the terrifying look and movement of the shadow blobs.

Also, thanks for the feedback, showing every item you've collected is something we're discussing right now as a future addition, for sure. \n\nThe objective of the game is to survive & collect the chests, as well as exploring the dark forest and discovering the secrets it beholds.

The souls of the damned lurk the shadows, I tell you, though you\u2019ll probably see them soon enough. They\u2019ll find you and take you among their ranks, and I\u2019ll warn you this: They will get to you. I was hopeful of escape at first as well, but there\u2019s no way out. Only prolonging the wait to your inevitable demise. I can\u2019t help you. Nobody can.\n    \nWhat I can give you are what shall be remembered as my last words \u2013 Stay in the light. The Souls won't be able to reach you there - they can lurk all they want, but can't do a thing to you. The Souls knock the trees enough that you\u2019ll find the occasional piece of wood, and I advise you use it, keep a fire going, fashion a torch, anything you can do, you must. Myself and a few of the other survivors had the bright idea to make fires as well \u2013 they\u2019re scattered throughout here, but I\u2019ve tried to fashion paths to keep you on the right trail.  Sometimes, one of the Damned will be freed, and they\u2019ll leave their last gifts upon the ground. Usually, it\u2019s something useful, though the little buggers always seem to find the most cryptic places to leave \u2018em.  Listen closely to the tune of their salvation, and you\u2019ll be able to hunt their treasures down.\n    \nI certainly hope you had a good life.\n\nSincerely,\n    Lieut.
