I love it! The atmosphere and sounds really nice. The screen static when the enemy is close nearby is also very cool. Good game.


Developer

Thank you, that means alot to me <3

Great atmosphere and music! I think the audio and graphics were spot on. Unfortunately, I was very confused what the objective was other than avoid the orb. I think it could be improved with more guidance on what to do. Maybe a note in the beginning or more hints throughout the map. Thanks for the submission!

Amazing atmosphere! But I got very lost. Wish I'd seen the hints before. A nice take on the idea.

The game has some really nice atmosphere, gives some really nostalgic "late 2000s indie horror" vibes. The static when getting close to the fog was more annoying than scary tho, and by the time i got the second sphere the perfomance was very unplayable so i didn't manage to finish nice. Nice submission

Developer

Thank you for playing! The static should be more "be carefull, its near!", than scary. To be honest i never play scary/spooky/horror games myself, so i'm not sure what is "good scary" and what is annoying :P

The performance-problem is caused by the torch-fire-particel-effect. i used waaaay to detailed 3D-particles and couldn't find the source of the problem in time.

Here is an updated version with much better framerate, if you want to complete the game.
