Would it be possible to increase the brightness of the lamp/flashlight? Or have brightness options? Right now there is not much of a reason to use the lamp or flashlight over the lighter.
I also have had issues with the chasing characters outrunning me and not giving up chasing me. I have also had the issue where they see me, I close a door, and they are stuck perpetually running into the door (I can see their limbs clipping). That means I can never go through the door. I'm not sure if they are set to de-aggro.
Otherwise this is very promising and interesting!! I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more from this.
