I loved the pixel art, the princess reminded me of Elira from Nijisanji, they have awfully similar design. Considering she is in the group called "LazuLight", the title being "Lightless" really connects all the dots, i don't know whether this is a coincidence or meant to be a reference, but good game. My only critique if i had to nitpick was that the glow was a little small, when i was browsing the maze, it was a little hard to see where i was going, but other than that, well done!

9/10

Elira Pendora is my kami oshi so I'm glad someone got the reference LOL

10/10 pixel art slaps!

Submitted

Very immersive game with great art style! The enemy placement and mechanics were very subtle and refined, especially for a 48 hour game! Very fun to play!

Submitted

Incredible! The art style is great, the gameplay was so intense! I can't remember the last time I had a game make me rage so hard, that I wished the ending would be the princess killing the hero for making her go through those infuriating guards over and over again

Submitted

Cool stealth game. Though the light bugged out for me at some point after using it too long.

Submitted

Wow good job on the 2d lighting!

Submitted

Wow, super polished all around. I could see how this could be expanded to be a full on horror game!

Submitted

Great game! I love the atmosphere you guys created. It got me tense in a few moments

Submitted

Good game, but a bit too dark to see anything. I suggest increasing the light glow radius.

Submitted

nice pixel art, pretty dark tone compared to other games in the jam

Submitted

Cute art! A solid game all around, great work!

Submitted

Loved the theme! The soundtrack is spooky! Great job!

Submitted

Really liked your character art. I do wish the candle didn't go out as fast or instead the light would alert the guards. Very good job.

Submitted

what an awesome princess and loved the title screen art as well! One small thing I saw was that my head would always get stuck underneath the door and I wouldn't be able to do anything on my first playthrough, but that was fixed after a refresh!

Submitted

good job! The atmosphere is great. wish it would scale better in my browser.

Submitted

I love this game, great job! I had the same idea for the theme for my game! Feel free to try it out! Also, I love the art!

Submitted

Amazing game! I love the darker tone and the atmosphere is very immersive.

Submitted

A really simple stealth game at its core, but wow is it effective, it really felt like I was groping around in the dark, hugging walls and praying that a guard wouldn't round the corner, super tense and well executed.

We're so happy to hear that! Glad you enjoyed the spooky atmosphere. 

Submitted

Pretty good. The ending you get is suprisingly wholesome

Developer(+1)

We thought that the Princess has already gone through a lot trying to sneak out of a castle. We think she deserved it! 

Submitted

I love the art style in this game. The fire is a bit slow ahead but I love the idea

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I think if we had more time to work on this game we would have loved to really fine tune some of the mechanics more.
