I always get lost in maze games, but I at least managed to find a key! The art is cute and the limited battery/light resource was clever, especially I think some of the batteries I found weren't 100% which was an unpleasant surprise XD. The enemies definitely were a jump scare and I liked the character transformation. 

It'd be cool to add some identifying markers on the map so you can tell if you've gotten to a new area or are just going in circles. Not obvious ones like arrows, but maybe just some different furniture so you can be like "oh I'm back at the grandfather clock again" or something like that. Just a way to orient yourself occasionally since you are basically wandering around in the dark.

I like the art style and gameplay, had to run and spin the flashlight around myself like a crazy discoball.

Had a lot of fun playing this.  Took me longer than I'd like to admit to find the first key, but then got the second one fairly quick afterwards.

Having the player transform when caught was a cool take on the theme and loved the character designs.

The nurse gave me a jump scare while I was wandering with the flashlight off.

Great entry.

The art on this game is so cool! It has so much charm and gets really scary! It’s also very tense when you have to run away, and turning into the monster is super cool. I got really lost the two times I played it and had to give up sadly, but other than that I enjoyed it.
