WOW, this is great. Really nice environment and character art, but the lighting effects were super tight and really took the cake. After I killed the dogs, I was delighted by how the house lit up, and the sphere of light around the player was a really well executed.
I wasn't sure what to do after getting the key, I feel like arrows or something could've helped me here, but you made the forest so nice that I actually enjoyed walking the path lost and looking at the scenery.
