Well, the idea is interesting. However, as for me, the gameplay was a little tedious, as it is literaly hard to lose.

The mood of being trapped somewhere and having to wait for help while trying to survive comes out well.
I also tried to lose but didn't succeed ;-)
You had an interesting idea that has the potential to be developed further!
I am not sure whether there is a way to lose. Other commenters wrote that light damages you, but I did not notice any damage being dealt.
Otherwise enjoyable music, which was neither too loud nor too quiet. Good job!
Thanks for participating in the jam! I think you have a interesting concept here but I guess it would be cool if there was a bit more to the gameplay than just dodging the light... but ofc I am aware that the time in game jams is often too short to create more eleborate mechanics. So anyway, good job! :)
Cool concept, but we agree with the other comments, the way the light damages the player is a bit obscure, and the patterns of the light could change over time.
Anyway, we like the "grainy" aspect of the light and the music ! And also the feeling of being traped in a dark box x)
The idea is interesting, but the overall experience is quite confusing. Unreal 5 was really demanding, and my computer barely ran the game at like 10-15 fps. It's quite unclear how exactly the light hits the player (or what happens generally, as I spent quite some time to understand that), and I even tried to lose but didn't succeed :p
I'd suggest going for something a little more lightweight and making the core gameplay a bit more clear.
I am so sorry but I am unable to appreciate your game due to too much lag.
I have this error message. Maybe it will help you for future games, or if you have a fix I would appreciate it!
The concept intrigues me nevertheless!
Interesting idea and mechanical origin. The background music create a mood. But something not enough.
