pretty nice game, gameplay felt good and polished
i like how you committed to the theme, if it had more lights it would make the unique gameplay pointless and defeat the whole purpose
keep up the good work!
Appreciate your feedback !!! We thought the same way, keeping the in-games 0 visibility, while being a bold decision we think makes it stand out more aswell, and embraces the theme.
I'm stuck in this room with the spiral door.
I had trouble opening this door while I opened the other one with the spiral. I also hit the diamond-like runes in the unlocked room (the one with skeletons in the beds). So I'll just rate it at this point. Overall I liked the game. I also liked the polish and attention to detail. It is also one of the best uses of the darkness theme for this jam.
Thank you for your input ^_^
One of the runes is fairly hidden and we plan to tweak it so its easier to spot its near one of the crystals close to the mine shaft
The Game feels so polished. The game is a little hard though I mean I couldn't see anything because the flash of gun ends so quickly I have to fire most bullets just to see where the hell I am going. But other than that it's my favourite game in the jam so far. Good Job Guys!!
Thank you, we recommend using the cheats if you are having some trouble finishing the game since we didnt have time to properly balance the amount of bullets and proper placement of the runes. :D
Within context!
It is hard for me to feel comfortable into the darkness, having only this little visibility when the gun fires. But the time it fires, I see the really nice scene that you have created! Well done on this! I love the low-poly aesthetics!
Only flaw that I see is that the player can stuck a bit in some places (like at the beginning of the hole) and it is hard to understand it in the darkness. I could also not understand the message that was appearing for a moment above the corpse.
The game looks very promising!
Thank you for the feedback ^^
Yes the prompt on the body is because we had a cutscene which is where you find the gun, sadly we had to remove it last minute due to it bugging the equipping of the gun.
This game is really fun! I love the aspect of having to conserve ammo for fighting as well as for light, please make more content!
Thank you ♥
Hey,
I would so much want to like to this game but it's nearly unplayable for me. I spent three different tries (had to restart the game) to find a way in the darkness but got frustrated as I could find anything reasonable to do.
It looks promising but the darkness is too much. Maybe you could have added a spotlight or something, small light sources for player to navigate (other than crystals) or something. I don't want to shoot with the gun to create light it's just too short.
I didn't see any enemies so I probably missed a lot of the game.
We have had a good amount of playtesters and that is not one of the complaints we've had, we give the hint as to the fact you can shoot the gun to see, as i said other people tried the game and even finished it.
We also included cheats so everyone can finish it.... just use those and use the gun more. The theme of the jam is darkness adding a spotlight/flashlight would make it generic, there would be nothing to do in the game aside from following lights shooting enemies and runes, this way navigating and finding your way is also part of the experience.
I have noticed most games of the jam it is merely dark and you can still see which in my opinion makes it pointless, decreased visibility doesn't work, visibility is something you either have or you don't, according to range.
The crystals were supposed to give out a bit more light you are correct there. Try the game again and actually use the gun since its the main mechanic.
There's this error that happens whenever I pickup the first ammo near the crystal:![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzg0MTU0NzIucG5n/original/9hujQo.png)
Unfortunately I cannot play the game :C
Cheers, we already fixed it were pushing a new build rn
Ok so we thought we fixed it turns out its still there :( were working on it.
