  • I am a big fan of exploration horror games where you have to cautiously navigate a dark, eerie place. The way the lighting is handled in this game creates a lot of atmosphere and really sets the mood that something horrible is lurking in the shadows. I was always on my toes during the playthrough of this - and for good reason! I would love to see more of these creepy environments and learn a little more about the setting and dangers that lurk within it. 

    Congrats on finishing and thanks for submitting to SCREAMWORLD!

Intriguing stuff. Feels like something that could have been on DOS back in the day. The flashlight works nice and the adjustable feature is also a nice touch. With some more focus on audio, story, and game design, this could be something really special.

Great, spooky atmosphere. I love the flashlight.

Nice game. Very intriguing. I enjoyed the exploration, but I came across an error by passing a door on the right (above a weird little monster behind a box). The sound effects are sometimes a little loud. The graphic atmosphere is successful. I would have been curious to know what was behind the door. Congrats.

I am posting here the error message I've encountered :

Thank you for playing the game, and I am very glad that you enjoyed it. Also, I know the sounds are kind of loud, it is because I am reletavely new to sound design, and this was the first game in which I actually had to make good sound.

And yes, I know about that crash. It's because there are no other levels after the door opens, so it just crashes. And the reason for that is because when I was making the game, I had some personal stuff and just didn't have enough time to continue adding levels and progressing the story, I am very sorry about that. But, I think that I will continue adding more story to the game.

Also, did you have any performance issues while running the game? Since I was running it on lower hardware I had some fps issues and I just couldn't find the solution to it.

Once again, thank you for playing the game.

OK ! So I've finished the demo ! Yeah ! Nice game.
By the way, no technical trouble for me (I played on an old laptop with Win7 ^^).
Voilà ! ^_^
