Best Atmosphere I've seen in a Jam Game. Excellent!

The atmosphere is amazing! Spooky, dark, mysterious. Very well done. The light thing was sometimes too flashy, but nothing too concerning. One of the best games I've played so far :)

Cool little game you made here, chased by a monster that moves every 10 seconds is a good implementation of the theme. And the graphics look really nice once you stand still and the light is on and you can actually see something. I think the completely removing the light once you are moving was quite the annoyance, i bumped into walls i did not see and it hides all the work you did for the level and art. I would have dimmed the light by 75 percent instead still giving the player some light to see and move around but making it darker overall to make it more tense. But besides that small gripe it was a good game and very smooth!

Incredible mood. It was very scary and oppressing.

I only encountered the monster once (at least I think it was, might have been a statue for all I know). Knowing that the monster only move every 10 seconds doesn't give much information. Where does the monster start ? How far can they move ? Do they teleport to a new location once every 10 seconds, or do they travel 10 seconds than pause 10 seconds ?

The mood was nice, but once I got into the "cavern" I didn't feel any pressure has the monster didn't seem to come there.

I really liked the atmosphere and it's really scary when the monster finds you. Musical effects are nicely done. It's a little difficult to navigate in space due to the constant flashing of the light, though it seems to be part of the gameplay. Good game, but graphics could be improved by adding more elements

Awesome atmosphere and visual style. Due to that game keeps you on your toes. Great job!

It feels like a true horror game, the atmosphere is incredible! But I didn't really encounter the monster. I saw him behind some barriers, but I didn't feel chased, I didn't feel like it was the theme of the jam when I was playing. Built the theme around the light that fade every ten seconds and then the monster chasing you would be more interesting in my opinion. But still, very good job!

I really liked this game. The visuals and audio are creepy, the mechanic of only being able to see whilst still is neat and the presentation is great for a game jam title.

This freaked me out. In a good way. I mean, it's not the game for me. Because it freaks me out. But I appreciate how good it is all the same. Because it, you know, freaks me out. In... you know... wait... let me turn on the light... I'll be back in a moment...

I genuinely screamed out loud the first time I saw the monster and played most of the game with my eyes half shut from there on. Absolutely phenomenal mood and atmosphere, and a really great game all around. Definitely one of my top top favourites from this years LD!
