Thanks for commenting on my entry! The links work now if you still want to check out Nuclear Autumn. Had a go on your game - trickier to survive than I expected! Great use of pathfinding as a mechanic.

Good game. I only managed to get to level 4 though. It was pretty tense every time there was a branching path because I knew I was either going to die or continue. Enemies are great at trapping. Good job on the graphics and fantastic music.

the fog of war builds great tension. Love the artwork.

This is a great game! My hand hurts from the anxiety and quick tapping but it's worth it. The music and art is great. Good job!

Does RL stand for Real Life?

Because Real Life was never this scary.

I liked how music encourages you to tap the living out of your WASD keys. I was able to pass through the ghosts a couple times.

My longest run: 5 levels, I know there are not many different ones but running away from the monsters makes it hard to recall the layouts of the levels, good job there!

That was awesome! Very challenging, but so much fun; I liked the graphics as well!

Hard as hell, but great fun! The game gave a real sense of terror and pressure, though it would be nice if it didn't tire out your hands so much!

Very hard ! But music and gameplay are cool. Pixel graphics are awesome, love them.

Mood was great, gameplay was tense with fast careful tapping but felt a litle unfair. I played 20 times without seeing stairs, then the next time the stairs were right there.

Loved the feel of just barely sneaking by, you nailed the core experience.
