Very cool mechanic with the portals. I felt a bit left in the dark ^^ for some levels

Nice lighting system!

I really enjoyed the music, it was very fitting and set the overall creepy feeling quite well.  Unique idea with having to lose and regain the candle. Great job! :)

Это классная головоломка, местами достаточно сложная, но веселая, а текстура нашего персонажа меня рассмешила!

I know a lot of people had the wandering in the dark with a candle idea, but this was an excellent implementation. The lighting of the torches to open doors, and the "boundaries"  you can only walk through in the dark added a very nice puzzle element. I think the art for the main sprite could have been polished up, but for a game jam, it was fine.

I liked this game a lot. Cheers.
