How does your game represent "Power"?
In Flicker, power is represented through light, a fragile yet essential resource that constantly fades. Your glow determines survival, forcing careful energy management—expand your light to see more, but at the cost of faster depletion. Collecting fire restores brightness, while activating lamp posts unlocks pathways, reinforcing the idea that power must be earned and sustained. If your light fades completely, you disappear into the void, symbolizing powerlessness. Yet, even in the darkest moments, a flicker remains, reminding us that power is not just about strength, but resilience and the will to keep going.

An interesting game. It was very exploratory discovering more lanterns and fires around the map and eventually finding the exit. The lack of passive drain on your fire in the current build hinders the feeling of fading light, but this has a solid foundation for a very eerie and atmospheric game.
Thanks for your feedback! I’m glad you enjoyed the exploration and atmosphere. I’ll be refining the fading light mechanic to enhance the tension. Stay tuned for updates! 😊🔥
