Really enjoyed exploring the world and falling foul of the traps. It's a shame the world is in the dark most of the time but I understand the reasoning. Big game with big potential.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!
They still find me even after I drop the light =( Too scary for me (got a scarejump at the start cause of that hand floating mid-air), still a neat game - well done! Plays nice in a browser - which is not that simple to achieve with lightning-based game.
Really cool atmosphere! A bit too dark for me, but that's the vibe and I can appreciate that!
This game was so stressful (in a good way) I hate being in the dark lol but it was fun risking the light, I did not manage to finish it but I did enjoy the gameplay. Maybe it needs a little extra hand holding for noobs like me haha
Glad you enjoyed it! After seeing a few more people play it, I think the game could use a few more hints. The monsters need to be tweaked as well, they currently see the light through walls.
Yeah... couldn't play this properly cos I'm a scaredy cat, but what I did play was fun, same with the other scary game I watched Jern play more and it seemed great. Very cool atmosphere :)
Fantastic game - I do not enjoy scary stuff usually but this was great! The ending reset was the only bit that I felt needed some polish so excellent work folks!
Glad you enjoyed it and happy you beat it!
very nice game, legit got scared couple times when i wasnt expecting the monster to be there :D
Thanks for playing!
Freaking scary also had no clue how to put the light away was a unpleasent experience to be a real monster bait :D But great job for the Atmosphere of the game!
It showed controls at the start menu, but we probably could have included a pause menu as well. Thanks for playing

Fun game. Very dark, but hey, that’s the purpose. Would be nice with a downloadable version. Good job!
Thank you for the feedback!
Was my first time uploading a game or even making a game, I didn't know the best way to upload it. I added a downloadable version to my profile after it was recommended to me.
Very fun, a little bit unerving getting killed by shadow creatures!
Thank you for submitting a great game!
Crumbling floors into pits with so many hounds is evil and I approve.
Glad you liked it, thanks for playing!
the enemies don't seem to regard the light's status in the chase at all and hiding or dropping the light didn't de-aggro the doggos for me :( but I like the idea. cool aesthetic and very lighting!
Dropping the light doesn't instantly drop their aggro completely. The monsters will run to the last place they saw the light and conduct a search before returning to their patrol. If you are in their path, they can still find you. They aren't completely blind in the dark, but their perception is greatly reduced, that perception goes up slightly if they are in search mode as well.
Thanks for playing!
Sorry if you read this twice, I accidentally posted it in the wrong spot and moved it here.
I wasn't sure what to do or where to go :-( The game looked very zoomed into the hand for me, not sure if that's intended. The models look great though and the musical atmosphere works very well!
Was it full screen? There seems to be some strange aspect ratio stuff going on.
It was unfortunatly. I'll try some other browsers tonight, otherwise add it to the pile of Download games to try ^_^
I uploaded a downloadable version to my page, if the web version isn't working.
Also if you start the game and move your mouse while the message is up, you can get turned around. The start is very dark, but you should see a light in the distance you can walk to.
Some great low-poly modelling and world building. Very unforgiving hounds though :D
