Ok! I did it!
I did not like the little thingies. They were dumb and rude and scary.
Other than that... It was pretty good. I liked the level of detail in the lighting and the environment. I'm not sure why I was doing what I was doing but, hey, I liked it!
Great work!
Loved this game! I like that it was you and the other person calling back and forth, rather than just searching around for them. The "bad voice" being plausible enough to maybe be a person yet still creepy/suspicious really helped add to the atmosphere of the game.
Some problems I ran into were that attacking and refilling the lantern doesn't seem to do anything. With the lantern, if something was happening, some kind of feedback of that (such as a meter or animation) would be helpful. There also seemed to be bugs with the light. If I looked certain ways, it would turn off, but if I looked in a different direction, it turned back on. I think this exclusively happened when looking towards the cabin. There was also a short time of complete darkness when you first leave the cabin.
Cool game idea and very immersive. I was only able to find one other person, who scared me worse than the monster when they ran up to me! Can you actually kill the monster? I kept attacking but always died when I fought one. I did like that the light changed color to indicate health, that's a nice touch!
Well done!
Sure is an atmospheric game, makes my hair stand whenever a little a monster creeps up behind me! Is the audio positional? I tried following the direction of the shouts coming back, but i still can't find the people lost in the woods. Well done for creating the game :)
