  • I liked the sound design. It was creepy and had a good tone to it. The one thing that bothered me was hitting "P" to interact on a QWERTY keyboard. I'm not sure if that was meant to be there, but I tried every key. I was missing *something*, because I couldn't interact with any objects, and I did very much try.

WASD - Move
Interact - Press P while looking at the object

The game takes place in the late 8th century. You are a villager whose village has been struck with a deadly plague. The elder tell a dungeon hidden by the wild forest hides a dungeon with knowledge that could put a stop to the plague’s massacre. For what the stories tell, the dungeon is filled with darkness, and anyone who has attempted to venture into it has never made it back.

Find the 4 components scattered around the maze. You can only carry one at a time, so store them using The Mixer, which will be right behind your spawn point. You are only vulnerable to The Shadows when your torch dies. If you hear strong footsteps stay still until you can no longer hear them.
Temporarily restore your torch by using cloth and oil (orange cubes). Once you have the 4 components The Endgame will begin.

Extra Notes
Due to some time constraints I couldn't implement The Endgame mechanic and some sound and gameplay improvements.

I hope you like mazes.
