To be honest: I didn't relly get this game. First I died after one second. After I got the controls I just ran left and right constantly until winning the game. I don't really know what happened and what I was supposed to do apart from collecting crosses. A bit more player feedback (or tutorial) would have been nice.

Thank you for taking the time to play my game and for your feedback. A lot of people have said the same thing. I added an instruction screen at the last minute as I had neglected to add a tutorial.

I didn't think I could have a jumpscare playing a game from the jam, gg!

The idea is very interesting and the art nice (even if I'm not a fan of the amount of post processing effect used here).

I'm just not sure how the game is supposed to be played, the overall gameplay confused me a lot to be honest. There are grandma disappearing or not, cross on the ground that I collect to damage the boss (the big guy I guess) but I'm not even sure how the grandma was disappearing haha.

Haha, I really didn't think the jumpscares were going to work, but I am glad to hear that they did. I noticed after the jam was close to being over that I did not put in a good tutorial system and added the instructions as a last-minute aspect. Thank you for playing my game and for your feedback.

Wow I can't believe how scary this was for real. I loved it and it matched the theme very well O.O I was a bit confused on what to do but I could see a whole game with this flashlight concept. Very clever!

Thank you for playing and for your feedback. I am happy that you found it scary. I need to change the instructions and include what is needed for players to win.

This game truly put me on the edge. I love horror games that can actually put a sense of thrill or fear into the players. I definitely felt that while playing your game. The sounds go along with it really nicely as well. Nice work!

Good game overall.  I liked the creepy aspect and music to it.  i wasnt sure how to defeat the boss though.  Also the look of an old tv was a cool addition. nice job
