Surprisingly scary for a top down 2D game. Nicely atmospheric.
Sometimes it's hard to tell if you are even moving. Maybe some kind of ground pattern would have been nice. You also very easily get lost in the maze but maybe that is intentional.

So far, the best game for me—the atmosphere is amazing, the mechanics are great, and the sound and music are awesome. Well done!!!

Echo CrashWell that was scary! I love the concept of the game and I think it works really well with the horror theme. It did take me a while to understand that there's only one key to look for at a time though, so I think it would've been nice to 1. introduce the first key early so the player understands the objective right on 2. show more clearly that the points on the map aren't where the keys are (I spent a lot of time confused cuz I thought the map showed the location of the keys!). Otherwise, really well done!

The beating of the HeartGot a key and then got soft lock. Idk what happened. Still, what I saw was great. Even got a jumpscare! Scary, but in my opinion is not quite on the theme. Idk.

Keep my heart beatingCould be a very good game, but either it did not quite work for me or I am to stupid to handle it.I found just one key....no more keys. I brought it to the door and walked further and further...but nothing happened or appeared. No enemy, no key, no nothing...that's why I am completely missing a good gameplay feeling and fun. I did not get the point with the flashlight either, but I assume the game is level based and it might become interesting if there are enemies (?) Your game has potential though!
