Experimental game about the fear of unknown.

You are walking in the forest at night. It's hard to you to see the objects so there's so many strange and scary shapes around You're fear. You'll probably need some light to calm yourself. And you have a box of matches, but there's only one match left. The road is too long...

Please, read ALL the text in the game for understand it!

Made in Flash, so the Web-version is avaliable :)

Yes! I've made it through! :D
Good job, the game (visuals + sounds) really creates a nice atmosphere. Too bad it is so short...

Short but intense, the music helped a lot to get the perfect mood. Good job!

A simple game, I really enjoy the concept of just one match/torch/light source. Works well here, and I think you did a great job on the atmosphere and mood with fitting music. Great!

Answering your question about my game: the wall is not the end-> pick the bulldozer and go back to the left (see the comments for more info)

Creepy atmosphere, but entertaining. The graphics fit well with the overall game and the sounds build up the mood. Good job!

Very creepy. The music and sound is especially nice.

Had a very "Amnesia" feel to it - nice work.

I like the art a lot ! The parallax effect with the blurred pines in the background is really nice, so are the colors. God job with the audio too. But it's a very short game, unless I missed something...

If you want to work with the fear of unknown, what about reducing the viewport using a radial gradient from transparent (near the player) to black (outside) and/or fast and surprising monsters instead of static ones ? Just some random ideas ^^

Nice experience. Very tense atmosphere. I loled at the end, though, in the good way. Funny.

Cool concept! The music fitted the mood perfectly and really nice work on the art. I wish it was a bit longer though.
