I didn't know what to do, but I like the color choices. 

edit: figured it out, not a bad game! Great submission

Nice ambience and sounds. Found moving to be quite difficult and got boxed in by a number of creatures at times. But a creative approach to uncovering a stage. Like others said, a wide light would be great.

Seem like a great game, I would just like some explanation on what I am supposed to do and a wider light, it is quite confusing but I like the overall design

A nice simple game, the light could have been wider though. It could probably do with a bit more explaining but overall, a great job.

I was very confused and got frustrated with the main light mechanic. Maybe the arc of the flashlight was a little too narrow?  I found a sigil and had no idea how to activate it.

very confused, saw some cute scary things, and then they didnt kill me? i am just confused although did have quite the nice horror atmosphere

I'm sorry, but I have no idea what I was meant to do. These harmless ghost fellas started chasing me around and I wasn't sure what the way forwards was.

I was confused on movement for a bit without seeing other objects for reference i didn't know i was moving. Pretty nice atmosphere

I like it, I think adding some ambient music would help the tone more.

there is some music, though it's all very spread out admittedly. I did that to make it feel atmospheric, but it did leave a lot of quiet sections.

With a minimum of graphics and sounds, it well evokes the horror atmosphere. Fits the theme perfectly.

Ah right might just be my laptop being to slow. I'll try it on my faster machine and leave it open/wait longer. Thanks.
