Wow it was really good! 

The use of light and the fact we can't rely on it much further as we progress in the game is clever. Ambiance is top notch, and those dark creatures were stressfull :'( . I found the music and sound design were very good.

The pressure was real indeed. 

My heartrate surely gone up during this experience. 

However, I was lost a moment, I never found the last item if there was one. And also the gauge bugged a little. It showed three bars when I could only use one.

This used the theme very well and has a great atmosphere to it, backtracking got a little confusing,but that also lends to the 1-bit nature of things. Overall it was a really solid entry!

This was awesome! The atmosphere was amazing. It was really hard to tell where i was going and I was lost pretty much the whole time. Nice job though!

The atmosphere you have managed to create with basically nothing is amazing, however I found it pretty frustrating because I spent the whole time lost with no idea what to do or where to go in the slightest. enjoyed it though.

Sound is really good!! Music and footstep sound trilled me a lot while i play alone.
also love how screen shake when "it" come. (scream a little bit while play this game.)

Honestly, despite some things like UI and the ending being a little broken for me. This was a solid horror experience and polished nicely. The lighting and art are just superb.

The atmosphere is really great!

Even with the limited colors, I felt uncomfortable in the dark places, it was such a relief to see these bright places appear in the distance.

It's amazing how the developer was able to take a simple, 2-color game and fill it with so much tension and anticipation. Excellent work!
