Nice game, and good implementation of the themes :D. The sound design and visuals are great work really well. I have a few points of feedback:
- Selecting an item and placing a torch should be different keys (I kept trying to combine a torch with something else)
- I would like reading a note to be opt-in, or at least pause the game (now I have to keep moving while spamming space and placing a torch at the end of it)
- Placing a torch in the middle of a shadow could be a bit more forgiving maybe.
Other than that, Well done!
