Great game! I really like the concept, visual style, audio. The game needs some polish, but overall it's great! Good luck with the game after the jam!

Nice survival like concept game!

Cool lighting effects and some fun concepts as greater fire better look etc. Good Visuals.

Also the dead sfx was nice and creepy plus the sleeping animation/vfx was fun and also necessary I read (did not notice at first but cool).

Some more variation in an update would be nice and also a fix for the mouse and flashlight problem. It did not point to were my mouse was.

Great first project and keep it going like this!

Thanks for the review! The mouse issue seems to be a web-based issue and doesn't happen every time ( even on the same PC ) so we definitely need some troubleshooting! Thanks again!

The game is great , but why I need to sleep


Developer(+1)

Thanks. If you do not sleep, you will slow down which makes you easier prey! I think the ending comes a little too fast so that isnt too obvious

great game, and smooth experience , the only thing that felt a bit weird is the flashlight (not following the mouse) but aside from it, funny game and great visuals !! great job !

Developer(+1)

We've noticed that there have been issues with the mouse not aligning properly for some people! Thanks!

Very good use of the theme and restriction of zero UI.

The flashlight felt a little weird at times, like it wasn't really being pointed at where I was aiming, and the camera was a little buggy when changing to the daytime scene, but other than that, very well done!

very cool lighting effects!  the concept is great, and the cuteness of the visuals make the impending doom even spookier.  nicely done!  and excellent work sticking to the two themes - Light/Dark and limited UI

I was scared of the demon, I laughed at the boy's sleeping animation, good game

Developer

I appreciate it!

I like the idea of this game, stoking the fire to see further to get more wood to stoke the fire, could  be a bit faster pace i think to make the player feel urgency, but overall feels and looks great!

Developer(+1)

That is a pretty good idea. There are definitely a lot of different ideas to add to this game! Thanks

I like it but it gets boring quite quickly but i like the idea

Developer

Thanks, yeah I wish we had more time to add more content but I'm glad how it turned out!
