Great game! I feel the "lights-off" mechanic is quite underutilized. In my first two attempts, I only had it happen once before I died, and on my third attempt I won before it even happened!
Thank you for the feedback! In my playtests it was the complete opposite where it happened too often near the end. Did you play it on browser or download?
Maybe. My initial thoughts are that either you got very lucky or you finished the game pretty quickly. Did you happen to encounter reapers more frequently? Also how long did it take for you to finish?
