This was a really good attempt! There are a few glitches like the attack animation and the lighting effects not working on the second level but the ambient sound combined with the lighting effects when they work and the thought provoking monster design really sold the atmosphere. I especially loved how you had to charge up your attack before landing a proper strike.
Good game! I like how you used the darkwood mechanic of the 2D flashlight then added areas at the start which didn’t have it to show contrast. Feels really polished, I was constantly worried there would be monsters as soon as I moved the flashlight! Good job :D If there’s one thing I would suggest, it would be a menu so the player isn’t immediately in the game, but the gameplay itself is solid :)
