Have you ever wanted to walk around in a forest filled with starving wolves at night? Well this game is made for you! In A Gleam in the Dark you will have to cross the forest with a torch lighting up campfires and other stuff to protect yourself from predators. But remember, as wolves are afraid of light, your torch is your best friend so you’d better keep it alive…
How to play
- Left Click to set fire to campfires, wood and wolves - Right Click to pick up wood and to add wood to campfires - Escape to pause the game
we advise you yo play the windows version of the game for better visuals.

Great audio and take on the theme! One suggestion I have is to slow the enemy down and give the player some health points, the first time I encountered the enemy gave me an abrupt end.
The art is lovely, the sound is quite good. I'd love health points or a similar system (like you only die if you are twice consecutively, for example).
Great take on the theme, and good all rounder. A nice short but well rounded experience.
A few notes, I played the web build, it seemed quite difficult to click on the wood and campfires, not sure if thats a build issue or a clickspot issue, it resulted in me dying a few times because I couldn't light a campfire and my torch ran out.
Once you hit the halfway point I guess the map feels a lot more open but I don't feel im going the right way as I run out of wood to pick up or fires to light, it becomes this dash to the house at the end.
Really nice game and take on the theme. The art style is cool, especially the enemy character design, it scared me for the first time seeing it come towards me!!!
J'ai beaucoup aimé l'ambiance du jeu, que ce soit par ses visuels ou par les bruits environnants. Les loups sont très biens réalisés. La transition quand on meurt et qu'on revient à l'écran titre est un peu brutale par contre x) Belle réalisation en tout cas !
Good game. Controls are responsive and graphics and audio are also at good level. The only problem I see is that once you've been spotted is almost impossible to survive as you get killed with only one hit.
I really enjoyed this game. Great graphics with great effects, mystery in the darkness sets a special mood. What I would consider adding is some more audio (for example for the wolves) and reworking the graphics - this painting style is picturesque but visible done in a hurry
An interesting concept with a fascinating soundtrack, but there are drawbacks. In my opinion, the plot is not disclosed: it begins well, but ends too suddenly at some unknown stage. I also didn't like the torch fading too quickly, but it's true, a quibble ;) I think it would be even cooler if you added the sound of monsters, because they feel like cardboard))
Nice atmosphere, and good graphics, I really enjoyed this one. Being alone at night in a forest with a fading torch sorrunded by wolves is a pretty calming experience! :smile:
Really nice entry, and I especially love the tension when you know that the light is going to die, and you don´t know if you´ll be able to make it to the fire. Good stuff, great job!

the audio was great, the only real point was the enemy speed like loanpop said

Still a very good enjoyable game. Well done.
The atmosphere is really good with dark halo
@teamindot did you looked at them with the torch ? maybe it's a bug :sweat_smile:
@furfel thanks for the feedback !
