They say the monsters aren't real. And it seems that way... when they're out of sight.

Too scary for me! But i played long enough to judge it as a very well done and good game! I like the look-away mechanic much! The graphics are something, which i like much, too. :)

Awesome Game! The atmosphere is thrilling. The graphic design and lighting are very well done. Really good submission! :D

(Also appreciated no stinger SFX or jumpscare)

Great game, the atmosphere is very well done, and the gameplay is very fun. I think the player could be a bit taller, but other than that minor issue it's a really good submission.

Believe me when I say... The monsters ARE real.

In the Dark is a lot of fun. It's worth 100 % of the download. I love the atmosphere. The audio is great! This entry is top notch.

Congrats to your whole team for making such a wonderful game.

My anxiety does not do well with chasing games but I had a lot of fun with this one- funny that you could enter a room another way to get the key that unlocks that same room xD I enjoyed the music + graphics, nice game!

Really great job on creating that atmosphere. It's crazy what well placed lights do to our mind

Great game, was pretty scary, tho i lost all my fear when i got the gun, but was fun nonetheless, the music also was great, loved when it transitioned between calm music to horror music

Oh man, this was so creepy lol, I could not do it. Amazing job with the game and with the theme.

I was worried it wasn't creepy enough, glad we pulled it off :D

The atmosphere is tremendous! It would be rather difficult to find my pipe in the dark when I'm not supposed to look in the direction I'm going. Jolly good show, chaps! Jolly good show.

Developer

Thank you!

Wow this was a great game! Loved the low poly art style and it is so refreshing to finally see people actually spend time on sound design, which you guys did an amazing job on. Great game!

Developer

Hahaha my sound guys will be glad to hear it :)

The heads of those spider-looking creatures were scary, I was singin "Ain't nothin' gonna to break my stride, Nobody gonna slow me down, oh no, I got to keep on moving" when moving stright forward avoiding every creature. Got surprised by the tall creature (purple), it's a little unfair the respawn mechanic cuz it respawns litterally in front of you. Anyway it is a very cool game and a very elaborate one.

Developer(+1)

Heya! I appreciate the feedback.

The purple and red tall guys, in hindsight, are super unfair. Wish I caught it before the jam was over, but eh that's life sometimes. I'm planning on reworking em and uploading a post-jam patch when the time comes.

Thanks for playing!

I actually got goosebumps after discovering these spider-looking creatures, combined with the creepy music and sound effects, my god this is terrifying, I also fell into the void. Impressive game overall, well done!
