I found the walk speed to be a bit slow for me, and depending on how much light I had a larger hallway often had me feeling like i was walking in place. overall everything works well its a simple to understand game and a fun little challenge.

This game is very clever, making an extremely simple concept and (probably) a simple maze into a genuine challenge. It took me about 10 tries to reach the breaker box, but it didn’t feel boring or repetitive - the whole time I was planning my next moves and building a mental model of the useful parts of the map. I love that you have to evolve your strategy throughout the game, eliminating batteries that aren’t worth the trek there and back. I could see different play styles drawing the map on paper as they go - which is a great retro feel - though I prefer the challenge of keeping it all in my head.

I only would’ve liked to see a stronger link to the theme.

Very solid execution and drip-fed information leads to a surprising replay value in this game. Well done!

oh wow... the first time i played it (before the rating period started, i think) i found it difficult, but now i have a newfound appreciation for it! graphics are so cute and the audio is amazing. would've been better, at least for me, if the player could move faster, but i think it's a very neat game!

Very nice game! The way it creates such a spooky atmosphere with simple art and audio is very impressive.
