I liked the ambience, the sound effects created a nice tension. I ended up not being able to complete the game because I didn't find any items and the ghosts are very fast, so I gave up after the third game over.

One idea is to make the light directional, which you guide using the mouse, and make the ghosts be seen in the dark with only their eyes in red or white, and then if the light hits them they start hunting you.

Anyway, it has potential. Good job

Hey, thanks for the feedback, I agree, the ghost speed should be tweaked, there isn't a lot of time to react at the minute. 

The light was originally directional, it would point up, down, left and right and you could scan an area of 90ยฐ in front of you.

The idea was the light would stop them, and if you concentrated the beam it would stun them. 

 Unfortunately, I was having some issues with the players rotation relevant to the torch rotation. I really want to go back to the original concept but I'll have to get around that little hiccup.

I really like the art style! I couldnโ€™t really find any of the items but apart from that the aesthetics were very cool :)

Hey, thanks for the feedback, in it's current state, it definitely involves too much stumbling around not knowing where you are, we need to make it slightly easier to navigate the map.

I like the art style, the progression was a confusing, but the setting was good. Overall pretty creepy.

Developer

Hey, thanks for the feedback, unfortunately, you are correct. The progression was definitely not explained properly, we wanted the player to figure out on their own how to complete the game but we didn't given them enough information to work with, we need to add more clues.

I really missed the this art style, and this bring back my memory. Maybe turn the ghost into wendigo or something like that??

Hey, thanks for the review, adding a Wendigo creature into the game would fit the setting, that's something we can look into.

Cool game! Try my game, it also has a flashlight, but you have to find it! :-)
