Hey, i just finished your game but i am a bit confused about it :

  • Why are you locked in place without any possibility to move when the monster attacks ? You answered that question in another comment but this mechanic is not obvious at all, maybe you should add an hint for that because i spent a big amount of time just waiting for the monster to release me
  • What is the goal of the game ? I had to restart the game to figure it out because the first time i missed the first line explaining that, so i spent my game running around thinking this was kind of a survival. Maybe you should make this line persistent so that the player can understand what's going on
  • Why are there health points ? Even when i was attacked by the monster and i was doing nothing but waiting the monster never damaged me, which was even more frustrating to be honest x)

But there are also good points :

  • The flashlight mechanic is good
  • The player movement is clean and responsive
  • The game has a real potential because the idea is cool

There are some points to work on, but this is still a good game with some potential :)

I'm sorry but I can't seem to find a way to open this file and play the game.vv

The flashlight mechanic is very interesting.

Unfortunately the game feels a bit confusing: I sometimes got stuck being unable to move and couldn't quite get why; I'm not sure if it's a bug.

If you get stuck after attacked by the monster, spam space, some ui elements are not shown. You have to spam like 25 times, but thank you for you feedback! :D
