You had some amazing ideas how to address the simplicity of the game and did a great job implementing them. Now it is so much more fun to play and better to control. Awesome transformation from part one.

this was so fun!!! I love the idea, and the different POVs is such a great addition. I second the "light going out makes it horror" comments lol XD
Hello!
I found this game very very interesting.
As other’s pointed out, when my light was fading, I started to panic and felt like in an horror game!
The PoV mechanic I think is well placed and with a lot of potential!
I didn’t play the first version so I don’t know the changes, but I feel that know it’s quite polish and good!
Congratulations!
Not sure if this was your intention, but the dimming flashlight and dark room made it seem like a horror game.
The torch mechanic to limit how you can manipulate things with the mouse was a smart call. It felt scaled really well for a jam game so that people could actually complete it without feeling frustrated and also see all the work you put into it. I hope you'll come back to this idea and develop it even more because I think there's some neat stuff you'd be able to do!
this is a great idea! definitely deserves to be explored further. the gameplay is solid, the only piece of feedback i could offer is that charging up the torch felt a little slow, but the rest was great! nice work with the lighting too.
wow, my praise in part 1 was not misplaced whatsoever, incredible update. you really expanded upon your ideas and it paid off big time, this is pretty great stuff, and i see that you still want to update it, a time limit would be pretty punishing tho lol. but yeah this right here is pretty awesome stuff.
Wow, the gameplay improved a lot since the previous version! Awesome job! I wasn't expecting the light and darkness mechanics at all, but they're a great addition. The locked doors is also a pretty good idea. Pretty fun little game! Congrats!
