How does your game fit the theme?
The morning represents the calm where the player collects items and memorizes the map while the night is the storm. The player needs to run through the darkness avoiding the ghost and collecting the candles for the ritual.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code. Made most of the art. My teammate made the music. The player character and the ghost are assets I got from Itch.

The general vibe is really nice and I like the idea. Died my first try because I stood in the shadow as I already thought I would die but was curious :) great job, you nailed the feeling of the gamge.
Feedback:
- It was a bit unclear to me at fist what the win-conditions were. I learned it by playing but was confused the first few minutes.
- The game is quite unforgiving. I think it would have helped loads to increase the vision just a tiny bit or make the ghost slower. Often I died because the light blinked out just at the wrong time and I didn't even get a chance to do anything.
I love the fact that you're experimenting with the shadow lol
Thank you so much for the feedback!! Yea I think even with a total of 3 items to increase the lite the radius was still small. And you're right about clarifying the win condition. I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for playing the game!
I like the character design! Great work at making the game scary!
Thank you!
Really nice job! The graphics are cute at first, but then I got really scared at night with that demon.
xD thank you for trying the game!
Wow, that was really scary! I never managed to finish the game though, I got stuck by the ghost every time. I noticed that I saw his shadow during the day by the way, I don't know if that's normal ^^
In any case well done for this game that managed to make me jump :)
Yaay!! someone noticed the shadow!! It shows you where the ghost is going to start haunting from at night. Thank you for playing the game and I'm glad it was that scary xD
The game had me so freaked out that I had to close it. That’s actually a huge compliment because you really made me feel something—pure dread! Congrats on an awesome entry!
Your comment made my day! thank you so much for the feedback <3
Nice game! It's simple and easy to get into. However, I think making the ghost more visible would improve the experience. At times, it feels like I'm dying randomly when it suddenly appears in front of me.
Thank you for your feedback! I tried making it scary by not seeing where the ghost is but can know where it is with the sound it makes. The direction you hear the sound from is where the ghost is. If you don't hear anything then it's way far from you and if you hear it loud then it's right next to you. Maybe in the future I could add an item that would tell you where the ghost is when you consume it to make it a bit easier.
