How does you game fit the theme?
Several elements of this game are simply parts of the main characters imagination and are shown not to be real when the flashlight shines on them.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All code, art, and music are from scratch. Two premade fonts and one sound effect were not made by me, their creators are credited in the credits.

Cool game! It took me a bit to get used to the mechanics, but you guys used them in really interesting ways, good level design! It was the right level of challenging for me. Good work!

The idea to let things disappear while holding the torch is quite interesting and i liked the Presentation. I would however rebalance the damage of the ghosts because I mostly ignored them. Also the Game was emphasizing the walljump which felt a bit unresponsible at times.

Nice work! I really liked the atmosphere and artwork, my only suggestion would be to make clinging to walls work by default, rather than requiring a button press. Good job!

Rated it! Really nice thing to make all the stuff yourself. :) Ghost looks spooky~
