Hi! Some feedbacks:

  • I liked the way you have to use the light and the UV lamp! The monsters are surprising at the beginning but they are easy to eliminate in one shot, I would add some challenge on their behavior. Like more speed and maybe an appearance not always in front of the player.
  • Some thing I noticed is that the collisions are not well managed if you move fast. I ran towards the house and discovered myself underneath haha
  • In your tutorial you said that we had to find 4 gas and bring them to each generator but I only brought one and was able to escape. Maybe you'll have to investigate this?
  • And finally I did not really understand the quadrants and had a hard time looking for directions. A map would be useful :) 

Beyond that I retain in positive points the atmosphere, the sounds, and the fact of having to manage several things at the same time . Good job!!!

Oh and by the way, it might help to upload the web build directly to itch.io. People might not trust external links all the time. Some screenshots could help too. Just pointing it out because it looks like not many people have played/rated your game yet.

Pretty short but interesting game! Atmosphere is pretty nice; I liked how the monsters' roars broke the silence of the forest, though it did get old after a while. I also liked how there are layers to the gameplay, such as having to manage battery life while shining the UV on the monsters and the aspect of taking gas tanks to generators. 

I wasn't too clear on what the goal was though. At first I thought it was to activate all the generators, but then I found an opening in the walls and was able to escape through that. 

Also, not sure if this was just me, but whenever I died or escaped, my mouse would still be locked to the center of the screen, so I wasn't able to click the try again button to restart. Just a minor problem though.

Regardless, good job on the game! Short but fun!
