Samuel doesn't know who, what or where he is, but he knows things aren't going well. Dig up evil from beneath your feet and try to stave off whatever fate awaits him.
- Arrows to moves - Space to dig - Find essence to stay alive - Avoid the Groundskeeper - Secret items and powers to find - Reunite with your beloved pet
We never got to finish our level structure for this so we wrapped it up into a survival style effort. Stay alive and find more essence.

I loved the narration, even if there wasn't any sound that I could hear in the game. It's an interesting take on the theme, but the lack of skill-based challenges (whether you dig up something or not is random) makes it hard for me to get into.
Simple mechanics but they work together very well. Excellent job! Perhaps more enemies to dodge would be nice like projectile throwing ghosts or something.
Thanks for all the feedback, we had plans for a level progression that explains the beacons and the ghost dog (he's still in there if you find his grave, and dig it up), which added a bit more skilled searching, but alas, there's a time limit :D
Re: the starfield, seems the tilemap isn't loading in for some people, and the rain makes it look like a starfield, please try Ctrl+F5 and hopefully it loads in second time around.
Seems really nicely polished :) For my browser though, space made it scroll to the bottom making it frustrating to play. It seems like this is only a problem for me though
Love the narrative comments, that work as a tutorial at the same time. Nice mechanics idea with standing still to detect essence. And love the character graphics, and the dog! :)
Not quite challening enough for a survival game, but that's a minor tuning issue.
Great theme, but has a complete lack of challenge. Great narration though, overall the mood is great, work on the gameplay and this could make a great game.
Thanks for the comments everyone! Regarding the lack of sound: we simply ran out of time. I have some music and ambience in progress that will get added to a release in the very near future. We'll be hacking away and improving this for quite some time yet!
Nice graphic, but that's pity that there isn't any sound and difficulty challenge ;] Anyway it is very solid entry. I like main-character look, it's... so specific ;D
For me the ground doesn't render, too. All I see is black. I didn't give a rating before it is fixed, because I want to see the whole experience before. I think it is a great game and want to thank you for your entry.
The graphics are really cool! Cool detail on the players head! I like the text-bounce effect a lot! :)
I somewhat didn't come to such places as seen in your screenshots, but I looted some graves. I kinda dislike there is no player input when digging - it would be cool to dig faster when pressing space rapidly.
I'm really missing the audio on this entry, it would possibly have created a great mood.
All in all very cool graphics, but the game soon gets repetitive.
