Oh great idea~ it is tense walking around trying to find another shrine. Also the opening tutorial was super cool! I wanna learn to do that~ If you have the motivation work on it after the jam some more! A lot of people on itch like these creepy games haha. If you have free time, please check out https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/461493 . Once again, great job!
I like it! The music fits the game very well - it isn't scary, per se, but it gives you the feeling of unease.
The only thing I would change here is the tutorial. The first time I played it went on too fast and I missed the last bit about having to activate all the shrines - I thought I needed to look for unlit shrines, so I wondered around in the dark looking for something that wasn't there. When I found out what I was doing wrong, I wanted to skip the tutorial, but the help text kept appearing on the screen.
Oh, it might be a good idea to have some sort of indicator of how many shrines are in that level, plus maybe an information when you've activated them all.
All in all, I think it's a pretty decent entry to the jam. Well done!
I loved the atmosphere in your game, quite calm and still scary. I especially liked how in the last level you didn't show the positions of the shrines, so you had to kind of trust the paths. The tutorial could have been shown a little bit longer. I had to restart the game because I couldn't read all of it that fast.
Cool Idea! I'm glad the torches show you so much surrounding space, or else i would have been so lost.
