Nice idea but I think there is just not too much information on how to deal with the ghost.

Nice mood in this horror game. The jump-scare when one of the ghosts catches you really got me every time. The ghosts, however, are also one of the major frustrations for me in the game. Other than sound, it doesn't seem there is any indication as to when you are near one, and if you are, I wasn't able to discern a direction from their sound. Since they move it was kind of a coin-toss for me to get killed or not, when they where around. Maybe making them visible at very short range (maybe only with lights on to make you switch between the modes) could help with keeping the player on edge, but giving them a realistic chance to avoiding them?
Love how u made use of light and shadow, really makes me want to try something out with that mechanic. Nice job!

Close EncounterYeah, I can imagine. Sound (especially if its involved as a mechanic) is not easy to implement. For what its worth, the mood you created sound-wise (especially with the ghost heart beat getting louder when they get closer) was really ominous and nicely done. Maybe google spits something out if you look for "directional sound source" or something similar. Good luck!
Really good game! I really like the atmosphere and it gets pretty intense when you play it for a while. I really like using the mouse scroll wheel to control the lantern but maybe you should add another option for people who don't have a mouse. I also missed the part at the beginning that said you had to interact with pieces using the "E" key so I kinda just wandered around for a few minutes until I came back haha. Really good nonetheless. Nice use of the theme. I actually thought of doing something similar but ended up not coming up with a solid idea.

Navy RoyaleReally nice horror game! Locating the ghost is very hard, and I don't really know what to do if it's close. I just stand still and hope for the best, but that does not always work. The places of the clues are not really hard to find (good thing), but once I hear the sound I just start spamming and hope that I get it, as you can not see it with the flashlight.

Silence is a VirtueIt's a really well made horror game, kinda reminds me of Darkwood, in that it's a great top-down horror game. I kept dying out of nowhere, which made me jump quite a few times ngl XD

Rising SmokeThe less light you use, the more you hear the clues! Very cool game and concept!
