The atmosphere is super cool - the sounds especially. I really like the sounds that play when your flares bounce off the ground. I think it could be interesting adding some more puzzle mechanics. Nice game.

Cool atmosphere and concept though gameplay is a little too simple, regardless it impressive what was done in the timeframe!

Ended up finding and solving all 18 terminals though I was a little confused on whether there should've been an end message and if I was missing something.

In the end I could definitely see this becoming something cool if the museum was more structured out and had different floors and elements to interact with (such as a spotlight you can shift to replace the flares).

I like the atmosphere and aesthetic, and I think the concept is fun. However, the camera clamping and angle make this very difficult for me to play. I also don't think the concept is too well related to the jam theme. Overall though, it's a cool game and the vibes of wandering around a dark museum are effective and well done.

Very well polished ! Creative use of the theme. I'd appreciate if instead of using flares, the player had a torch or a light torch !

Damn this is amazing and very well put together! Was a lot of fun and even when spamming the lights it still didn't cause major lag spikes for me, nice job :)

Awesome idea and very atmospheric! I didn't get to the end though, it can be difficult to guess the word!
