This game dope good stuff but why is it so damn hard
Cool game but didn't really understand how it related to the paralysis prompt. was definitely difficult even on easy mode so at least the gameplay could last a bit. the textures look pretty awesome for the lamp but the hedges could use some work. Loved the willow tree too
Just so you know the way it relates to the prompt was that when you run out of light you become unable to move (i. e. Paralyzed), but yeah definitely want to fix a few issues with the difficulty. Thanks for the feedback!
I like the gameplay a lot, the shader make some outlines inside bushes sometimes, ambiance is a little repetitive. I will try beating this game on paralysis mode
understandeble game play and matches the paralyzed prompt. pretty hard but that's a good thing and was really fun. didn't have any large problems.
Really fun gameplay loop, and definitely a game I'd like to revisit on my own time and actually complete. It captures the feeling of being lost in creepy maze very well. There's some issues with the monster's AI and the mini game should be shortened, but overall those are more minor issues in what is an otherwise pretty great game.
The controls being on a separate window mildly annoyed me, but other than that, the game was fun. It took me a second to figure out that I had to click on the header text to select the difficulty.
I like the use of sound, and the zoomed-in POV really limits your peripheral and keeps you on your toes. It was also quite hard, but for a short game, I think that makes it last longer. I still haven't beat it, but then again, I've only tried on the hardest difficulty.
Bad Game The hand and lamp looks terrible. Whos the artist?
wow dude really? why would you write a review like that I worked very hard on that lamp and hand model?
It feels dumb that there is no way for the player to know where keys are without audio and the player is expected to memorize the map but I found this very engaging even though I am not enough of a man to play it twice. The relighting lantern mini game could have had a better introduction, I got confused when the game wouldn't let me move anymore at first. The only problem with graphics is the ugly repetitive hedge model.
