Great mood! Although kind of confusing.

Sorry to spam your comment section with so many posts lol, I like this game so much it literally inspired me to start writing out a rough game design doc on making a first person horror game since I almost never work in first person and like this so much. I still havent had a chance to go back and beat it but yeah I am absolutely going to make a little horror game project because of this. Will be following your itch to keep an eye out for your future games.

I'm glad we inspired you!  I personally got into game dev in hopes of 2 things:  1) Letting people experience the joy I do when I game.  2) To inspire people and show them they can make their ideas come to life too.  So, I'm really excited that both of these came true.  I wish you luck on it and hope to see updates!  I'll keep an eye on your account for a release.

This is amazing to hear. I got into game development because I want to do for others what games did for me: give an enjoyable escape from reality. So really, thank you for playing this submission, and I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Interesting game with a cool twist. I only have a problem with the difficulty level. Perhaps the maze should be a little smaller or some explanation of what we should do. But I'm casual player, so if it's a hardcore game, then it's okay: D

Developer(+1)

It is meant to be a more difficult game, but I get where you are coming from, as I am a casual player myself.

So you understand my struggle :D But if it was supposed to be like that, it worked :)

Edited in case it could be a spoiler, your use of sounds are amazing. The livestream should be back up if you want to see it now. I tried to beat it on video but was just taking too long but I know the mechanics now.

Absolutely love this game, I still havent beat it yet but will have to come back. This is superb. I played it for quite a while on my livestream tonight and if you want to see the replay for reactions you can view it below.

Very sad it was taken down, we would've loved to watch you play it!

Yeah someone used real songs they just put in their game that they had no permission for, I am trying to get it back up and just remove that one game from it so if I get lucky check back tomorrow and hopefully it will be available then. Really sucks it was a lot of games streamed.

I'm pretty sure that it's my game you're talking about. I'm truly, truly sorry for screwing up like this. I've been busy trying to get my life together in time for my graduation commencement and it honestly just slipped my mind to remove the music even though I should have. I know I probably made a lot of people upset and there's no excuse for my screw-up, but again I sincerely apologize for the trouble I've caused you and everyone else.

On another note, great game here. It was a really chilling and honestly fun experience!

Submitted(+1)

I think it should be available again now with the other game removed, give it a try

OMG, this is creepy and fun :D Great sound design and cool game loop. When the lights go off, it really gets you moving. Well done guys! 👍

I really enjoyed it, similar theme to ours but done differently.

Certainly gets the blood pumping.

Great audio, great mood.

Wish I hadn't read the other comments before playing :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah, some of the comments spoil a little bit.  Glad you still enjoyed it though!

Absolutely.

Game starts, I walk around like okay a maze and I pick up coins kinda cool (too much headbob though!). Then the freaking lights go out the sound starts and I a met by whatever the hell that was!!!

It went from okay to oooookkayy gotta get out of here!

Well done!

My little sister named him "Galaxy", so you were confronted by a Galaxy :)

This was a really fun game! When the lights went out and the screaming started I started to panic and ran around frantically! Great job on this submission!

I like the whole feel of it. The gate closing behind me with that audio was a very cool effect and almost immediately i sensed horror, Then walking around with a torch added to that effect and when i got a coin and picked it up and heard that screaming i started running through the maze as it got darker and darker and the audio was just awesome. Not sure if you wanted it to come off as a horror but its works well. Awesome work.

Developer

Thank you for playing the game, we're glad you enjoyed it.  Yes, it was meant to come off as a horror game.  Thanks for the feedback :)
