I don't understand what I was doing but I found a flashlight, but the text telling me I found it was enormous and didn't go away so the bottom third of the screen was then unusable.  I think the idea is you essentially have to memorize the level and periodically check by using your light?  I can see this working with bit more time, keep it up!

It was unclear what was going on exactly, but I think this has potential. Would appreciate more explanation in the beginning.

This is a nice start, keep up :)

Overall, I like what I see, but I’m pretty as to what’s going on.

I think I found out the controls and gameplay:

  • WASD for movement.
  • Space for lighting/unlighting yourself
  • Refill light with torch
  • Light runs out when on
  • Will reset when hit by monsters when unlit

There’s a really big text box that pops up that says something about scrolling, but it wasn’t working well then it disappeared.

I found a chicken at some point.

This is a really good start! Balancing being able to see vs how much light you have left gets a bit tricky and sometimes it seems like my light will not show if I have turned it off for a bit.. I am guessing it is a mechanic that I just don’t quite understand
