Minimalistic horror game. You are glowing in the dark. Ghosts do not like the light and will chase you. Survive and find the exit.

Nice work ! The music and graphics do wonders for setting the mood !

Music did wonders for the mood. Simple concept, and pulled off well :D.

The first ghost actually made me jump out of my seat! Well done!

I would like it if things were zoomed in more so I could see if better though.
TheFudster29 Apr 2013, 08:20
well done. Resolution was a bit too tiny though maybe.

Great idea, great audio, and the simplistic graphics were a delight. Very good!

Great atmosphere! I like the graphics.

Graphics and audio is great! I didn't expect it, but got scared (heart racing even) everytime I had to escape a ghost! I'd like a bigger window to see a bit better however.

LOTS OF SCARES CRAMMED INTO THIS LITTLE BOX! I've heard that audio elsewhere before, though, so I can't rate you as highly on Audio and Mood. :(

I'll be passing this game around to my friends. Lots of fun!

Amazing!!! Minimalist and scary!! Sometime "Press any key" do nothing, I have to press and press...
Magnus29 Apr 2013, 09:59
C'mon, man. Jump scares? Too spooky.
This is a good minimalist concept though, also that raycasting is kewl.

I like this a lot. Very simple, but executed very well. Good work.

Awesome game! And quite scary too, actually.
Graphics and sounds are great!
Stiju29 Apr 2013, 13:04
The audio and lightning makes everything perfect. Would really like to see something like this but bigger in the future.
muton29 Apr 2013, 13:04
Really like this, but I can only sensibly play it with my browser zoomed to the max!
Ivan_29 Apr 2013, 13:13
Really interesting game. And I like the shadows
naughtyloose29 Apr 2013, 13:20
pretty awesome! The second level is quite hard tough. I like the graphics. Bigger screen would be nice :)

Fantastic audio work.

:D:D!! Excellent! Love it. Excellent. Thou there are some rules regarding using music. As in "make your own" :].

It's a terrifying tiny box.

Great!!! One of my favourites!

Fantastic. My only gripe with this game is the small resolution.

I like the ambient and the mood!
Good job!:p

Pretty well!
Despite minimalistic design, atmosphere is horrifying =)

To everyone that has played, voted and rated my game: Thanks a lot. It means a lot to me.

This was my first time I participated in ludum dare and it was a blast. Apparently I violated a rule by not creating the music by myself... will definitely do that the next time I participate!

I thought it was kind of cute actually. And those shadows look really good.

Excellent mood. It wasn't scary as such, but very tense!
MathiO11 May 2013, 19:10
Great entry! Terrific sense of tension, sometimes compounded when I got momentarily stuck on a wall. I really like the balance of having light increase as time passes (allowing you to see more) with the fact that this will likely attract more ghosts, plus the crescendoing music on top of it all!

Nice minimalistic work!

Amazing mood, It's incredible how scary it actually is even though it fits the theme. Really great work!

The audio is the star here. It really shows how easily a player can be put on edge. Nicely done!
GeorgeBroussard20 May 2013, 22:21
Enjoyed the mood and audio a lot. Wish the screen was bigger?
