A short but effectively scary game. I thought the mechanics were very clever! It gave the player something to do while also needing to keep an eye on the path at all times. The setup was done very nicely and the monster + music was definitely creepy! I think since the whole premise was to not look at it, the second stage is understandably harder and a pointer on what to do (like the message in the beginning) would've been helpful. I didn't understand the ending but I thought it was nice for a fun game jam project. Nice work (:
Gave it a try, but couldn't get to the end because of growing frustration from having to way too frequently recharge the flashlight, and the big baby thing that I'm not supposed to look at but still comes to kill me even if I never saw it. A start menu would also be nice. Hope you enjoy the video though!
A creepy horror game with a really good unique mechanic, if this got developed further it could be amazing and it would make a great challenge if there were different types of enemy that behave differently to you and your flashlight , maybe there could be an over charge feature to flash an extreme light to banish the monsters or have the over charge temporarily disable the flashlight for a few seconds allowing monsters to close in on you.
The way the entity appears is very surprising and does catch you off guard, it would be great to also see more traps and other scares from this entity too.
The ending was completely unexpected and there was no way to guess that would happen, well played.
It is a shame the game is so short but that is probably from being fleshed around the ending, overall though it is a fun game but could also be something even more and i would look forward to see what is in store in the future!

I couldn't play it. Whenever I open it, it closes out. I am running Fedora Kinoite.
