Wasn’t short at all, I actually got lost in the cave 😄 Even though it’s just a narrow cave with a few sounds, it still feels very atmospheric. You might want to put the flashlight hint right at the beginning and make it clearer that you need to turn it on first. At the start, I was a bit confused and wasn’t sure if the game had loaded properly. keep going!

@irkar F is for flashlight. Full controls are listed on the itch.io page of the game.

Figured out the flash light, nice horror vibe, I do wish there was some variety to the signal sounds it did get a bit repetive

I turn my flashlight on and then I turned for eternity in caves. A little lack of direction to really understand what I was supposed to do. I followed blue light after sending "bip". Discovered some red light, but didn't what to do with that. And once I died without understanding why.

In case anyone cares, I am currently working on a more polished version of the game.
