Good start for a horror platformer. Wished the monochromatic feel of the woods and the opening screen was represented more in the rest of the game's art. Keep making games like this, interested to see a more fleshed out version would be like.

This was a solid demo, though I wish there were more to the gameplay... the mechanics of staying close to the light were pretty simple to understand, which is good at least.  The art is good, and the sound design helped create a sense of atmosphere.  I'm interested to see where this could go if it's given some more time to flesh out everything.

Fun demo, lacked depth of gameplay but the core mechanics were solid enough and intuitive to understand. This game has a lot of style and I'm sure there are lots of ideas for future development. I loved the menu music and I thought the music could be more prevalent during the game - as a slight nitpick a few of the sound effects were too loud in the mix (namely the woodpecker) but the overall soundscape ambience was great!

Nice music. Graphics are decent, although the very small scale is not ideal for pixel art (on the other hand, I understand that the small scale helps give the player increased situational awareness). The enemies have a very cool visual design; it would be cool if they also had some music to accompany their appearance.

Also, at one point I seemed to be up against an invisible wall of collision. I think either the obstacle needed to be visible, or it needed to be gone. I took a screenshot, although it's very hard to see:

I enjoyed this little platformer where you have to go from one point to the other one, the mechanic is nice! The slope is a bit messy because it really slows you down

Cool game! I like the mechanics y'all managed to implement a lot! I hear slopes are pretty nightmarish for a platformer, what did you think about them? The climb-up mechanic was cool though, kinda just eek my way up a wall lol. The evil fog of darkness was interesting but seemed random and not really present enough to be a threat. The first jump was confusing and took a few tries. Regardless, great job! I love the art! The stylistic display of this game is phenomenal.
