Theme Explanation
The game is very much reliant on the player lighting their path, which fits the theme. I set the limitation as "depth" which was another theme.

Great job, really! But I often got lost in space and didn’t understand what I was doing wrong (my bad), so the game lacks more visible pointers.
I also love the controls in the game and the atmosphere is godlike
Thanks :) it's meant to be disorienting but aye the level definitely needs a lot of work in terms of leading the player. Unfortunately I had to rush through getting the level "finished" in the last few hours so it very much didn't end up how I wanted it. I'm going to improve it over the next couple of months though and update it on here, as well as release it on steam.
An exciting project!
Cheers! :)
So glad you finished this. Disorienting, claustrophobic, terrifying. This was fantastic. I'm honestly going to put some more time into getting to the bottom of this one after I've rated the other games. The controls are difficult, but smart, and they work well with the game. I very much felt like I was fumbling in the dark. Best game I've played so far and will be hard to beat.
Cheers dude 😊
