You got lost in the forest, and you need to get back to your house. Fortunately, you have a flashlight. Collect batteries (they're blue) that appear in the map, and be careful not to die for the forest monster!
Controls: WASD and Shift(run) - Movement /\ F - Turn On/Off Flashlight
If it freezes a bit when you press play, just wait. Download the Windows EXE for better performance.
Made in 48h for LD40 by Telmo Duarte.
UPDATED 9/12 - Better performance for both Windows and WebGL versions.
The game's strongest point is, in my opinion, it's freaky atmosphere ! Great job getting all that fog, tree and spooky sound effects up and running in such little time :) ! Cheers !
Good vibe! Nice environmental sounds (although the footsteps were a bit harsh on the ears due to the panning in the sound itself). Your take on the theme was a bit vague though. Would like to play in fullscreen!
Hey this is a really solid entry for a 48h game! Controls good and feels great. The atmosphere, as said before, is definitely it's strongest point and what kept me playing. It's hard to see, yet I somehow managed to keep pushing forward, I can see there was quite some level design involved in creating the map. Congrats on the game!
Nice mood and nature sounds. I liked how there was just enough light to see the path, and exploring the different campsites. But I didn't care for the sudden, un-fightable giant monster (maybe it's just that I'm not a horror fan). I wished I could use the flashlight as I collected batteries, and that its brightness would increase each time.
The game had lots of trouble running on WEB GL. Not quite sure how the theme connects to it, but it has fantastic atmosphere, the lighting is especially good!
I finished the game without turning on my flashlight, so I don't think the game is aligning with the theme. It does have a good mood and nice sounds. I think since it's a short game, it could use a procedural maze , so it's different each try. Good effort!
The Game has a very Slenderman feel to it. I guess the idea is that since your flashlight can run out. Maybe you could have the flashlight start super bright but in addition to that have no batteries around. Other then that it is well done.
Impressive looks, but the motion sickness got me already before the monster did. The sound effect halfway was a nice, scary touch :D I also do not see how this is related to the theme though...
