Ambiance and music were good. Pixel drawings were harmonious

Excellent performance and ambience! I like this entry's smart level design and how it blends in with the visual aesthetic. It takes a certain skill to make a game that looks beautiful, feels fantastic, and has good level design to support the overall tense experience. This is great stuff! I also really liked the flashlight feature because I think many games struggle to strike the perfect mix between light and darkness. I thought you had the proper amount of exposure for players, however this may just be a matter of personal preference. Thank you for reading, and if you don't mind, check out and give my game a rating.

Beautiful atmosphere, while still being spooky. 5/5 Game Design. I feel like having more music could enhance that feeling of spook. It also tells a good story.

If you don't mind, could you play and review my game? I could really use some constructive criticism.

Well executed and suitably spooky, great job!

Excellent execution, great atmosphere!

What I appreciate about this entry is the thoughtful level design and how it meshes well with the art style. There's a knack to playing a game that both feels and looks great, but that's also accompanied by solid level design that bolsters the overall tense experience. Great stuff here!

Also, I super enjoyed the flashlight mechanic -- I find many games struggle to find the right balance of light versus darkness. While this may be simply personal taste, I felt you have the right balance of visibility for players.

Thanks for reading -- also, if you don't mind, please check out and rate my team's game. It's also horror!

Interesting game. The atmosphere and sound design are very good. I like the artstyle a lot, it looks really cool.

As mentioned below, I wasn't quite sure what I was supposed to be doing, and there's just a little bit too many monsters. 

But otherwise the game is really cool.

Really like the art, has a consistent aesthetic and tone - especially like the menu being diegetic with the game.

Hardcore game:D very nice atmospheric. I missed the point of the game. It is not at all clear what to do and where to go

I like the art and atmosphere of the game.

 I didn't understand at first what the goal of the game was. Maybe adding something in-game to give you an objective.

As others said, it needs some balancing because there are a lot of monsters sometimes.

Maybe if you're in darkness Monsters stop running towards you, or leaving you alone so you get a tradeoff between moving in darkness vs dealing with monsters.

but all in all cool concept.

Good job submitting!

Awesome GFX but too much monsters and for me it wasn't fun.

Game has big problems with game and level design(like: too much monsters, a lot of situations when you cant escape and you cant understand straightaway what you need to do, and the most you dont scary). Graphic part and movement awesome, but I think mechanic with rotation of flaslight is  useless.

My mark 6/10
