- Great lo-poly horror title reminiscent of 90s console graphics. Maze games can be a dime a dozen, but this game has plenty of unusual characters with interesting hand-drawn sprites and some light puzzles to keep the game fresh. The atmosphere and tone is an absolute gem and I would love to see more worldbuilding like this!

Really enjoyed the mood of this game, the hands give it a very retro/VHS creepy vibe also the pink sky and desaturated green give it a very surrealistic touch. Only things can bump up the experience would be: Sprint buttone cuz sometimes you end up walking slowly throw long corridors and maze innts like sounds int in order to find out the passages without feeling like getting lost in the maze. Great job overall.
Glad you liked it! We have lots of improvements planned for a future update, drop me a follow if you like to play it!
Followed :D
I wasn't really sure where to go after getting the candle. I got that there was something following me but I wasn't very sure what my goal was at any given point.
The retro style is really cool, I like the atmosphere it brings. The greenish ground with pink sky and fog also does a lot for the atmosphere.
Not being able to open stuff because I don't have hands was funny at first but when I met the hand lady it turned really creepy; cool world-building idea.
Aw damn, after you get the candle you can open "secret" passages, they are walls that are a much lighter color of purple, the first ones is right behind the candles pedestal, I tried to make it as obvious as possible while still feeling secret, sorry it was confusing for you! The goal is to reach the center of the maze.
I didn't make it very clear, but I did find the first wall.
Oh okay!, Well if you try again there is 2 entrances into the final area :)
Very well done atmospheric setup, the hands really added a vibe that isn't seen a lot. Only could find two skulls sadly, but I did get to open up the secret gate thing.
Good job!
Did you manage to escape the nightmare? :)
Eerie vibe in the labyrinth. I noticed all kinds of easter eggs hidden like a painting and a mirror.
I made the mirror and I haven't even found it lol, good job !
Excellent atmosphere! One of my favourites so far
Atmosphere and sounds is fantastic, love the use of colour and 2D characters, reminds me alot of the ENA series. My main feedback would be the speed at which the character moves is very low, even a short sprint would go a long way, especially when being caught resets you to the beginning.
Awesome game tho, great job!!
thanks for the feed back! I'll definitely improve this in an update!
Loved atmosphere and music, idea is great
