Really enjoyed it! Great aesthetic, scared me at first when the fog showed up. Controls felt smooth too. Good job!

The sound was great you had me jump and laughing at myself at the first scare, the audio was great too but I found it very unsettling and had to stop before finding the key. I never touch 3D in GM anymore because of its limitations but you have made them work in your favor! nice work.

JumpScare! Starting the game proved a bit difficult, I is not the best key to start a game :-) Enjoyed the game, it was really scary :-)

Really cool game! The audio is very nice and makes all the difference when playing, you actually succeeded in making a scary game :)
Nice work!
Nice work!

i couldn't play to long, Audio (like with others) had me in a panic, Really effective.

Cool Audio, and nice overall feel to the game I like this one a lot.

The word "hunter" on the title screen seems not to be centered. I know this because I spent a very long time staring at it. Perhaps help about how to start the game on that screen would be useful =). I loved the scare, it gets me every time. I was able to find the key, but never got farther before getting caught. Could never quite tell if the hunter was near me or not. Great entry!

Fun and spooky game. I liked it a lot. I like that you have to listen carefully where the things are. Overall a fun game to play. Keep it up!

Very, very creepy. I got very tense, mainly because of the audio. I just found a little frustrating navigating when the light turns out, because you have to always stay close to the walls. Nice job overall!

Very creepy. I didn't expect the lights to go out. Thought the key-jangling was the hunter, not a key I could find. Walking in the dark isn't so fun, but I get that it's the point of the game. Nice work, nice use of stereo sound. Agree with others that "I" is a stupid key to start the game.

Creepy game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/iiDZ_Pg3Qr4
I didn't read the description at first so I thought it was a maze and that maybe I was hunting something. So I was exploring the maze for a very long time before anything happened. Played again and it sort of worked, but then I was spoiled :)
