I really enjoyed playing this one! The aesthetics reminded me heavily of limbo and the monster designs and deaths were pretty gnarly. The concept of using the lantern to traverse through the level to avoid enemies and change the landscape was also a really cool idea! Only issue i'd say was gameplay-wise of not being able to use the lantern unless the bar was filled fully. Otherwise, this game was pretty solid!

Hey!
Thank you so much for playing our game and for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed it :)
We indeed took inspiration from Limbo for the ambiance and aesthetic, and also a bit from Heart of Darkness :D
The lantern gameplay was a deliberate choice, so the player won't spam it to enter and exit both dimension while conserving the lantern gauge at a high level. Also, while doing this, we found out that it added a certain timing and stress to the feature, reinforcing the puzzle aspect of the game. But hey, there is so much we can do in 1 week :D
