I was telling my friend at the beginning of this jam that I'd love to make a horror game, but didn't think it could work in 2D. I feel like this game proved me wrong. It's really simple at the moment but given some objective, and maybe a limited battery on your light, I think this could turn into something really interesting.

THANK YOU!
A battery system was something I was planning on initially. Picking up batteries would stop you dead in your tracks, forcing you to enter a generated WASD combination (theme!) to actually insert the battery and be on your way.
Due to my daytime job taking up more energy than anticipated, I had to downscope however. The (overly) subtle theme interpretation that currently is in place, was very much an afterthought, but hey, it sorta works at least!
