I'm so glad I found this in the "needs ratings" list, a smart puzzle game with nice graphics and smooth gameplay. The use of light for the puzzles is pretty creative, I liked that.
I could repair my flashlight after the initial "puzzle" but not after finishing the first one (with the letters), not sure it that was intentional or a bug, but the flashlight was working once I placed it for the slider puzzle, just not in my hands, so it was harder to navigate that way.
Thanks for the review and the bug note! I'll take a look at that, that's definitely not intended! Glad you could struggle through, but that's far from ideal!
Okay, that was an embarrassing amount of time to be stuck on a puzzle that has the solution literally in the name of the game. Other than that, I don't have much to add, because the self-aware ghost per-empted the few criticisms I would have given. Good job, had fun!
I got stuck on the first puzzle. Hope I'm not the only one.
I actually really liked the puzzles in this game, especially the core one of making the lock shape with the flashlight. Im surprised more games dont do puzzles that play with light like that. Very creative!
Very fun. If it wasn't for the clues I would've been stuck cause I'm dumb lol
I liked the vibe. I was started several times by the ghost appearing behind me when i turned around. Very spooky Watson vibe.
