Hey Mat, I played the game again and I have to say I'm glad I did. I actually managed to escape the house this time.
The main problem I see, is that people might stop playing before you get to the engaging part of the game. But once you reboot the house a few times and start walking through labyrinths with the combination of flashlight and flash grenades the game is actually very fun.
I had a few issues with the doors the first time I played cause I was investigating the house and got out of light and couldn't get out and that's one of the things that frustrated me the first time.
But I have to say the game was very fun after you pass the beginning. I'd love to see more levels and a bit of story that leads to an end that explains everything.
As mentioned, the graphics are very cute, I love them. The lights are very nicely integrated with the game. The ghosts respond well to the light.
Great game!
Hey, thanks for giving it another chance, glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, the tutorialization could definitely be improved, the main mechanic is explained with a single sentence that quickly fades away :) Getting stuck in a room without a light is definitely frustrating, I didn't think about that case! I thought the ghosts would always kill you if you run out of batteries, but if the door is blocked, then they can't get to you.
I had a bunch more cool level ideas, but didn't have enough time to make those :-/ I spent like 5 days just implementing the lighting system, haha.
