The sound design is pretty good! You can feel the tension, but the actual monster didn't look very menacing, it would be great if they were more dangerous.

Thanks for the feedback! I should've added a clearer explanation in the game instead of hoping that every single player would read the page's description. I think I should've introduced an enemy that either pursues or follows the player which could have added a dynamic element and make it feel less like a chore.
I really like the stick mechanic, although I wish I was punished a little more for stepping on them.
Great + cute + adorable art. The shrinking circle of light and heartbeat were good for building tension, but I think they needed a "climax" such a jumpscare for when time finally ran out.

The Deep and Gentle DarkThanks for the feedback! I originally just wanted the sticks there for decoration and I didn't even think that they could be used as "traps" against the player until I watched people try to avoid them. I'll definitely keep that in mind for the future.
I'm not a huge fan of games with jumpscares, but I do agree that there just isn't a satisfying climax. I'll think of a creative solution.
the atmosphere was well done, makes u feel like u are in the middle of the woods. the stick idea was quite a good idea as well, helps with navigation and helps with atmosphere

Vengeful EchoesThank you for making this, I'd never participated in a game jam either, and you inspired me to go for it! I ran out of time and didn't finish, but still!
Great game, congrats on your first game jam!

Beamy and MeabyI really like the ambience and atmosphere, also the sounds, but i felt lost, there is no level of challenge and is basically a walking simulator making the gameplay quite flat.

In Dark Is LightNice Animations. It did feel a little too long but it was definitely not a bad experience. < 3
