  • Creativity was great, I loved a direct approach to pushing back the dark with light. I loved the simple puzzles present and would have loved to see even more. Gameplay was good. It was not always clear what I could interact with, and felt that it was hard to determine how close I had to be to be hit by the darkness. Theme interpretation is on point, nothing to say there. Polish is ok, the darkness was really cool, but there were a lot of unclear moments at the start. Having button prompts on interactable objects would help a lot.

The effect for the darkness is really cool, and the first puzzle is well designed. I can't speak for the others because I got to the wall, but couldn't figure out how to progress. Also, some sound would have been nice, but I still had fun with it. Good job!

Thanks! :) The black rectangle is supposed to be a door to the next part, it seems to have been a little unclear for some people. And yeah, I wish I had enough time for sound lol

This is a pretty cool little concept! The shader effect where the darkness reaches out to grab you is super creative and adds a lot of tension to the gameplay. It's such a neat touch that really elevates the experience. Overall, a solid entry that feels both unique and polished—great job!

Pretty cool little concept.  I thought the shader/effect where the darkness would sort of 'reach' out to grab you was really neat.  Solid entry.
