Very cool experience with well polished writing! Just felt more like a zombie game than the existential dread of the eldritch to me.

The flashlight looks great! The game broke when I traversed through the top stairs a second time, so I wasn’t able to beat it. Nice premise though!

I like the flashlight concept with the exploration and seems to have quite a bit of content ! Unfortunately there is a some blocking bugs like pressing escape, retrying the safe, that lock the game and need you to replay from the start. And you went a big extra on the enemy spawn, maybe wait a bit x). I got lock in a room where there was 7 monsters at all doors unmoving and got stuck. It's a shame cause there seem to be a lot of puzzles in it  ! If you do a polish version after the jam, I think I'll come back to it ! +1 point for the bee :D

I really like the idea of this game! But I was pretty confused and lost most of the time I was  playing. I also got softlocked in the room with Dorothea, because the monsters were huddled on the other side of the door to get out, and there was nothing I could do to get out of the room. Pretty cool game though, good job!

Very spooky & an interesting mechanic with the flash light.

I love the concept of the game, however, I feel like a lot of the game is not fine tuned to a playable game. Every time you die you have to watch the opening sequence again and the enemies seem to spawn endlessly, easily overwhelming the player. The game does feel very unfinished, but I do like what you had for as far as I got.

Great idea for a game. The house was swarming with the ghosts immediately though. I like your style!
