Into the depths by Perovic2018
The abandoned mines of Dangertown have always attracted easy money seekers. It is rumored that beneath the mines lies a dungeon full of valuable relics. It's just a rumor, because no one has ever returned from this mine.
But wait, doesn't that mean that all the treasures that are stored in the depths of the mines are still there?

I did walk around the tunnels and look at things- it's an interesting visual style for sure. It could use just a bit more brightness so that on my monitor I can see just a bit better, but overall fascinating work.
Controls were smooth and easy to use so props on that.
I just couldn't really tell what to do.
Also please enable VSync, my PC's fans didn't like running the game at 2000FPS.
@0x-void-x0 You'll have to adjust your position until you can see a white outline of the lantern, then press E while you can see the outline.
Then he jumps into a black hole with a sign "dangerous", without even trying to check the depth of the hole. I'm not surprised that he imagines a monster with such big hands.
But seriously, great job! I like the idea that the monster only moves when you are not looking at it
The battery charge on the light running out is an effective mechanic for driving up the fear factor--and the attacks from the enemy are satisfyingly spooky little jump scares. Overall, the feelings of exploring dark caves chased by something frightening reminded me of the Forest (in a good way).
Nicely done!
marvelous work, keep it up!
Picking up the flashlight and pickaxe was a bit tricky — had to point a little off to the side.
Great job!
