Hello, the flashlight turned off because you inserted a battery into the radio from the flashlight itself. To retrieve the battery, press the E button until it says that you have retrieved the battery. In the pile of firewood is hidden glass, which is needed for further passing, good luck! Sorry if the game was confusing or difficult. I had to do it that way, otherwise it would have been a quick walkthrough. I am grateful to everyone who played my game! If you want a sequel or a second part of this game, let me know. :)
Hello, thank you for your reply. I shall give the game another attempt later on today and maybe a fresh install might help, as although I tried retrieving the battery several times, it never seemed to work for me yesterday. Also, I figured there might have been something in the wood pile, but as I never got any feedback from the game that I had picked something up, I assumed the prompt did nothing. Personally, it could be quite useful if there was a short message saying something like "picked-up a glass" so as I would know that I now have another item. I shall try another playthrough later (after I return home from work), and I'll let you know how it went :).
Hello, just wanted to let you know that I have now completed the game and managed to figure-out how to use the flashlight properly.
Thanks again for your reply, and also, I have made a full-length playthrough with is scheduled for release tomorrow (14th March 2023) at 12:00pm (GMT). Here is a link though, in case you wanted to see it early (as it is your game after all).

I hope you keep on making games, and maybe expand this one a little as you appear to have the basic groundwork for a very good horror game :D.
Thank you, and best wishes :D!
