The atmosphere of the game is absolutely amazing and it fits the theme perfectly! The gameplay is a bit short but otherwise great game!

absolutely incredible, unfortinately once i got the monster to the end of the room, nothing happened, but the game itself is stunning

Amazing visuals! Truly one of the most original games in the jam

Stunning visuals!! the art tech is amazing and the idea of darkness applied to game progression this way is one the most originals I've ever seen, congrats!

Awesome idea and presentation. Unfortunately, sometimes it is confusing to know how to generate shadows.

Fascinating mechanic and a unique presentation style. I thoroughly enjoyed it

I think the book format was really interesting and well-suited for the theme. The shadow physics were also quite cool and unique.

I thought this was a unique design, guiding a monster by using shadows. The story matches the theme well and so does the audio (although it gets repetitive). It was difficult at times to know where to move yourself or the chairs to get the monster moving.
