Overall, I loved this art style. Simplistic in a way, but also smooth and it worked very well. However, communication of the games mechanics was not super good. I read the description, "light is your only weapon" and thought okay, so I need to shine light on the monsters, but that only sometimes worked. Then I looked at the controls and saw that you could turn the light off. Why would I want to turn off my weapon? The idea of the game is fantastic and I would love to play more, I just don't know how the game works or what I'm supposed to be doing or looking for so I couldn't get the full experience of this game.

I realized the issue with explaining the mechanics too late and too tired. Should have added a note about it.
Basically, the monster that charges at you from the trees runs away when in light, while the others will chase you if you shine your light at them. You need to find 3 pieces of a broken heart.
