Great narrative.

I thought this was a cute game with a nice challenge provided by the light revealing the maze as you went. It did kind of feel like playing 2 different games with the first part being a visual novel and the second part being a maze. I would have liked if these split ideas were woven together a bit more. A few maze levels separated out with bits of the visual novel. I really liked the music you chose for each section, it added a lot to the tone of the game and gave the maze a very eerie vibe. The colors your choose were also very nice and were good for the eyes while also fitting the tone. Well done overall, thanks for making and submitting it :)

Oh, despite the minimalistic design, it was actually pretty creepy. I liked it.

I really liked the game! The mechanic of revealing the maze with light feels really good. The enemies are great too, and the particle trails they leave behind are intuitive for the player. The only issue I could point out is that it might be a bit too long, which could get a little frustrating, but other than that, it’s a really good game!

This was a really interesting game! I got a little stuck in the maze section (skill issue) but it seemed to be going in an interesting direction!
