I do think you need a 'put down gently' feature, very hard to prep things, I couldn't get all the pieces on the plate without dying
I'm personally not a big fun of horror games (event slightly), but the pixelated shader tricked me into playing it.
The atmosphere, and graphics and mechanics are awesome. I couldn't figure out how to evade those things until I did. I really enjoyed playing it and kinda wanna see what's behind that door.
Excellent work, thank you for the game!
However, I couldn't figure out what to do with the shadow, as if there was no way to hide or escape from it.
Sometimes it would randomly stop in the middle of the room, but I didn't understand what exactly that depended on.
I tried throwing objects to distract shadows but I didn't see any effect from this. Also, I think they were a fair bit away from me but still they would get me. Maybe I didn't understand something.
Overall, the game is good with strong atmosphere and really gives you that horror feel!
(I also found out that I can't press left and right mouse button at the same time usinh touchpad lol but that's alright I found a mouse)
Really enjoyed this one!

A bit too hard in my opinion, maybe at least make death keep some progress ? Thought I liked how there where different dangers that I had to understand in order to keep going.
Good work !
