How does your game fit the theme?
Regarding the Count Down — I linked it to the act of closing your eyes and counting down to fall asleep at night. Because of an overactive imagination, the longer you keep your eyes closed, the clearer the monsters become. But in turn, the player also gains the ability to fight them. The countdown lasts a total of 6 seconds. If you exceed this time, the player will lose their sanity from the overwhelming fear of the imaginary monsters.

Such a unique and creative gameplay concept! The way you use closing your eyes to switch between two worlds and discover enemies creates a really satisfying gameplay loop. It also fits the “Countdown” theme in a clever way!
Thank you so much!! I'm really happy to see the gameplay being recognized!
I actually really liked the concept, very original! The lamp saved me so much at the beginning! Cute art and very cool gameplay loop! It also creeped me out a lot for some reason^^' Great work! My only gripe is sometimes the enemy will just ambush me and wait for me right at the edge of the light. At that point I just have to take the hit^^'
Thank you! Being scared is a form of recognition too! After all, I did make a horror game lol. And I'm really sorry for the bad experience caused by the bugs!
