Nice game - The method of finding the clues to unlock the cabin is well thought out, with a nice story behind it. The sound effects also added to the suspense. Very enjoyable.

A well thought out game, the sound effects made it.  There was a good story line behind it.  You made a very enjoyable game.

Nice and fun idea, with a big world for a short jam ! I liked the placement of each campfire that was helpful finding my way. Camera was a bit wonky and drifted away a lot, but it's still enjoyable.

I liked the feeling of having always somewhere to go an explore because you can see the lights from far away. The camera has a weird behavior that seem to sping away every now and then, nothing gamebreaking tho.

Cool game!

I'd second the comment about a separate interact button.  I also ran into a bug while entering the code and brining up the pause menu where the pause menu got stuck and I couldn't get it off the screen.  I liked the spooky vibes though and the first sound effect definitely scared me a bit

I'd recommend having a separate interact button I found my flashlight bugging out a bit having to use it read notes.

Neat, slender-type game. I like having a compass, the flashlight having battery gives you something to think about. I found the shack with the passcode early so I have a proper goal in mind (other than finding Timmy). Interesting story.

The art is obviously simple in nature, but it still looks neat. I liked the look of seeing some lit-up area of interest off in the distance amongst all the shadowy trees.

Neat game.
