So I posted an update, was meant to be outside of the Jam, but I guess I still don't quite understand Itch.io (this being my first jam). Disqualify if you will, but I hope you'll find some value in trying it out at least ^ .^
It's on the rails. A while after the intro you'll get to 'control' the flashlight. Part of the "out of control" theme. As the flashlight you can sort of help, or.. not help the main character.
