This game is beautiful! I'm glad I downloaded it to give it a shot. Based on the description, the premise seems like it would be pretty cool, but I am a little disappointed that I couldn't really figure out how to play the game or what the goal of it was. I think a little more careful design in terms of level and player guidance would elevate this game experience, but right now it feels a little more like a really cool environment to explore without much gameplay. If you ever update this, let me know cuz those screenshots look sick and I'd love to figure out how to get there :")

yeah dev here I would have been more happy with a bit more tutorial but we basically thrown the actual game with the mechanics at the last day and had little bug testing and game testing. basically we were only able to somewhat finish it which I'm kinda disappointed bc it was a really fun concept and bc no tutorial and no direction to lead the first time players on it went kinda no where.
If you are wondering you are suppose to get the shiny objects (interact with 'E' or 'Space') and bring the lights (indicated by the light bar under your sanity bar, yeah that is a thing too lol) to the basement and stand in front of the furnace to deposit the light. Every night you have to bring more and more light to the furnace (with out any indication bc who needs that shit lol (didn't have time and forgor in the end)) until it has enough energy to power the night light next to you bed when you can progress to the next night by interacting with the bed.
I don't judge you. I did most of the tutorial and the art and the end I worked on so the game is actually became a game instead of a tech demo. I don't wanna bribe just wanted to tell that yeah shit happened and although the game don't have a tutorial it functional (around 70% XD) I'm at least you gave it a try.
