This was absolutely amazing. I enjoyed every aspect of this game ranging from the ever-present darkness to the lovable lurkers. I was a bit confused about speed at first due to the terrorizing darkness, however slowly learned to traverse this nightmare. This was a great enjoyable experience for me, I had never seen some of these game mechanics before and remains very unique. Especially considering this is only a beta! Wonderful work staying true to the real sense of suspense and danger with the permadeath feature, this game has that constant presence and fear of loss unlike the previously mentioned triple A titles. Possibly the best horror experience I have had in Gaming. I commend such a craft of great horror, and am happy to have played it. I wish you the best of luck on it's future development!
Wow! Such kind words I can hardly contain myself. Support from people like you are what makes being an indie dev worth it! Thank you for giving this game a chance.
Edit: also if you complete the game please let me know how many lives you had left for balancing reasons. Currently the life counter may be slightly too low which is the main reason for the beta. Cheers :)
