Great atmosphere... That was scary!  Good level design and the limited inventory space give it that Resident Evil 1 feeling.

For my game, I had a really similar idea with a flashlight that interacts strangely with stuff.  Comparing the two is a fun lesson in game design for me (I think yours is more fun :) ), so I thank you for that!

Great game, well done!

The disappearing boxes were spooky! Only being able to hold one item at a time was a good idea to add to the challenge. There was one bug where i kept getting stuck on boxes

The atmosphere and sfx were amazing!

That was a really great concept! The game got really spooky when that black blob thing emerged from the dark! Nice job!

I loved the idea and atmosphere of this game, fear immediately went down my spine when I saw the phase "look at what you don't want to move" from way too much Doctor Who. Well done!

I like this idea, you got the hang of the puzzles but they were not easy to do! Simple but not easy.

I loved the atmosphere. There are probably some terrible monsters coming later in the game :D

Very nice game! The visuals of the game is so good and I love the entire environment art style. Great Work

LOVE IT!!!

Really impressive game! The atmosphere immediately pulls you in, the lighting, ambient audio, and the subtle sound cues all work together to make exploring tense and immersive. I especially liked the core mechanic!!! where the presence of one object affects another; it makes you think about space in a very different way!!!

Some minor issues popped up, like occasionally getting soft-locked or stuck in walls, but these didn’t take away from the overall experience. The way the flashlight interacts with the environment and the enemies adds a lot of depth, and the subtle audio cues when objects move or are illuminated are a nice touch.

Overall, this is a polished, creative, and memorable jam entry. I’d love to see this explored further in future updates!

Great work!!!!

ALSO, if you like brain-teasing puzzle platformers check out my game!

Great atmosphere, it draws you in right away. I really liked how the core mechanic changes how you think about space. Had a small issue once, but overall a very immersive experience!

Thank you!
