The dark atmosphere and the voice on the radio really help sell the seriousness of the situation.
HP goes down so quickly that I haven’t made it very far yet, but I like how that turns confronting the danger into a strong motivation to keep going.
Thank you soooooo much for playing my game! I definitely struggled with how fast the HP would go down. I had a whole explanation that there were eldritch shadow creatures that were in every corner down there but never got to implement it. So I settled on the lantern being your best way to through the game. I think there's just enough kerosene to get you through the game. The radio was a last minute addition so I'm glad I was able to put those in there at the 11th hour at like 4am lolllll
I really like you art, and you did voices too ! Impressing in 3 days.
I like the concept and art style but I would really like to see character walking animations too :D
Great use of a limited color palette. Had a couple of bugs, unfortunately. The Linux version wouldn't boot and the browser version sent me out of bounds with no way to get back at one point, and hitting space didn't restart either. Had no problems the next time through though. VA was a nice touch!
Instructions unclear, i tried to sacrifice myself but an entity started dancing with me. Should i report that?
Loved the art style and the VA! The music reminds me of Baby Steps!
Such a cool idea to turn out the light to save fuel but consume HP, i think the limitation was very much well implemented, i love the voice over the radio that was an great idea.
The art and dialog is great, though unless I missed it there was no indication of how to toggle the light, I only found out after it told me when it ran out right before the end.
great concept, but before I could understand what was going on I died, but the artstyle is neat
