I really like the art style in this game. Something about the piano man specifically is very reminiscent of something, but I'm not sure what. Something about the crooked nose and smile drawn on a silhouette. Anyway, as to the game itself. I just kept the light on for the first three bosses, I didn't see any benefit to not doing that. But then with the last two it was much more intense, when I realized keeping my light on would collapse the world in on me. It was a challenging (for me personally, the third creature the most so,) but fun experience. The audio queues were neat as well, most particularly for the piano man.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a good setup for an interesting avoidance/collection horror game! It was kinda creepy wandering through this empty void, not knowing at what point a monster was gonna jump out and attack. The light mechanic is clearly the key theme here. I think maybe a mechanic where the player can't always use their light, and there's a little more visibility, could be more effective. Definitely not an experience I would like to have in the dark...
Thanks for submitting this game to SCREAM JAM!

Thanks for your feedback man, after the jam I'll definitely tweak things up!
I couldn't find the 4th enemy, but this was fun!
