In one of the European countrysides you decided to go to the toilet outside at night, but the pesky demons decided to ruin your night hike. Every ten seconds a lighthouse lights your way, and it's the only thing that helps you on this arduous journey.

SVET is a survival adventure consisting of two parts: a stealth in the first part and a shooter in the second part.

Your reference point will be the sound and the light that appears every 10 seconds

Wow,very good horror

Interesting idea and looks moody. But level design ruin my expirience =(

You see nothing and little hill dont give you run away from monsters. And becouse you dont see anythink you dont understand that you dont move and run into the wall.

Maybe you might add little point light to character.

Anyway good job!

@igor-morgun thanks

@forik Thanks for the feedback, there really are some serious problems with the level design. The idea itself revolved around light. We wanted to convey the exploration of the location and the feeling of safety through only a temporary light source. A little short on time to polish and deepen the mechanics, so the comments are all on the case, thanks for the feedback!

Very well done, game is genuinely more scary than AAA horror realases! I would greatly appreciate if you give the player some indication on where they should go. Also, in the dark the collision detecion has no weight, and sometimes it is not clear if you are walking or not. Maybe add some light when you approach obstacles?

Overall I enjoyed it a lot! Very good!

A very cool take on the theme. Very atmospheric for being mostly in the dark apart from the demon eyes. Having to navigate terrain blindly so much is pretty effective as both a fun gameplay element and in increasing how scary it is. Good work!

@elros Thanks for the feedback, I think you're right and should have added more light sources to make it easier to navigate the location

I really liked the look of the game! Shooting the demons and watching them go down was satisfying! Great submission! I look forward to your future work!

Very creepy being chased by demons in the dark. Unfortunately, being unable to see and navigate 90% of the time makes for a very difficult gameplay loop.

This is a really fun game, the concept with the light every 10 seconds is a mazing, and i like the part where you get the riffle, make me feel like Doom guy, GG !!!

Good work! I really enjoyed this title! I wasn't able to beat it, but maybe I'll give it another shot real soon!

@twistedhawk thanks

Wow, this one really impressed. Love the look, love the spookiness, love the concept with the lighthouse. Definitely got my heart racing!

This really is like whenever I step outside in the countryside

I really like the effect of the lighthouse, it's a novel take on the theme and level design issues aside I could see this being a level in a larger video game experience.

Very cool game, you perfectly implemented the theme, I like the graphics! :thumbsup: :smile:
