This is a nice little maze game that has three aspects that make it tricky: limited line of sight, and limited light that requires the player to use a torch to see anything. Oh, and there's lots of ghosts! The simple monochrome style works for the game, given it's all about low light and spookiness.
For a first game (at least on itch.io) this is well put together and clearly shows an understanding of how to combine mechanics to create something a little unique and workable. The game has quite a few levels with enough twists and turns to keep things interesting (and so very, very spooky)!
I think one bit of feedback I'd give is that I'd remap the 'zoom out' function to the RMB or something the left hand can reach. Going back and forth between movement, the flashlight, and seeing the map requires the player to move their hands around a lot! Unless that's part of the challenge!
Thanks for submitting this game to the 'A Dark Room' jam!

Yes, thanks for the feedback. I'm already going to reassign this ability to another key. Almost all friends say that it is not convenient.
very cool and very nice music
