Well done. Navigating was a little tricky, but after going back and finding the tutorial things made sense.

I now fear the shadow monster. Lovely entry!

Maybe I shouldn't have played this so late at night. Good job with the atmosphere!

I never play horror games and I really liked this! I actually was really scared, and would always being turning my light on when approaching doors. How is that thing sooooo scary with no noise?! The controls were a bit awkward though. Also, it's easy go back where you came from accidentally.

So far my favorite game I've played!

Great work! I like the mechanic with the flashlight, which I almost immediately overused and regretted it later. Very spooky

Very similar to House game (especially visual) And I like this creepy feelings.

​Great title. Pretty spooky. Nice to meet an original monster. Having the phone, and torch was pretty nice touch.

It scared the hell out of me! Nice! I didn't find the way to avoid the monster, but I find the game so well done that I imagine I should blame myself for not being a great horror game player.
I enjoyed it!

@byyiro So glad you found it fun!

(PS Sorry if it wasn't clear but the monster freezes when it enters you flashlight zone ;) )

@bernard-bumblebutt thank you! Yes our team had quite the discussion about the control scheme, not sure if we landed on the perfect combination.

Nice horror game! I think the controls can be improved.

Wow the death of the boy suprised me, the game was so innocent at first ! Your concept works perfectly, creepy as it should :) The end could have been more polished though. Thanks !

never thought I'd be genuinely scared of pixel art lol this was terrifying it kind of turned into a reaction based game at some point but I really love it! it's really well designed. really good work guys

Great atmosphere! I also like the monster's design. Maybe im wrong but I think I had a bug in my first playthrough where I was stuck in the same room no matter which way I would go. When I did another attempt everything was fine.

Great game with nice atmosphere, enjoyed it. Was a bit hard, but really liked that it has a tutorial to go over the keys and mechanics. Overall great entry!

Cute short horror game, I liked the flashlight mechanic that disables the monster (Your newgrounds comment helped me with that). The stress and suspense while charging was very good!

Good art, mood, sound, and story, too, overall a great jam entry. Didn't completely get the connection to the theme (unstable mind, maybe?)
Jaknifed8 Oct 2021, 11:53
@brusi Haha, thanks for giving it another try! For the theme, we decided to go full force on the story, but that didn't happen 😅. Appreciate all feedback!

Nice graphics, but lack of atmoshpere because of the sounds and music (i mean no sounds and music that doesn't really fit the game (of course in MY opinion)). Anyways, great job, love the story!
Ppdolphinyyauthor11 Oct 2021, 20:30
@leokrechmer hey! Thanks for playing and the feedback. For the atmosphere do you mean our sounds and music didn’t fit the game? Or do you mean there was no sound and music(there is)? Either way, thanks again!
