How does your game fit the theme?
The player is constantly racing against a countdown as their lantern burns out, shrinking their visibility over time. As the light fades, the castle becomes increasingly dangerous, making the countdown the core mechanic that drives both gameplay and tension.

The art is amazing. You did well!
Thank you for playing and liking the art!
Gameplay is a little unforgiving, but I definitely enjoyed having multiple tries to get further each time. Art style is supreme. Well done.
The art is quite beautiful. The gameplay was nice and your concept was interesting. Overall a nice game, good job!
Thank you for playing!
This art direction is amazing. Very very impressive!
Glad you enjoyed the art!!
This game has such cute art, even the enemies! I feel like I finished the game without ever needing to worry about the shrinking light mechanic, or even notice it really, so you could definitely up the challenge quite a bit. I also found some frustration with the controls, since the angle you walk at when going diagonal isn't the same angle as the hallways, so you constantly have to change which direction you're walking to go in a straight line. Other than that, this was a fun little experience!
Thank you for playing! And feedback noted. The controls probably need to be algined to the grid
The art is sooo good and astonishing , i loved it , Probably would have loved to attack the enemies, but very good well made design , Well done
Thanks so much for playing! We're really glad you enjoyed the art.
Your game is nice, but it needs some improvements. By the way, rate my game
