Found this game through the dev's next game in the series "Six nights to die". I went back here to this game to get the first chapter of the story and it felt like a good starting place. The "haunted house/walking sim" variety of horror games are pretty crowded nowadays, but this one added the need for turning on lights/battery conservation for your flashlight which made me a little more anxious. Story is fine, nothing to write home about in the first chapter. The jumpscares were actually well placed and did not focus on loud noises, which is big points for me, personally. Real short game but worth it, especially if you want to play this whole series.

It was a quick horror game. Couldn't figure out why I was dying but if you run into her then you'll die. It just didnt' make sense at first considering I didnt' even see her and I died in like 2 seconds sometimes. Other then that a fun quick horror game :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhlwk8qnMYg&t=520s

I had my flashlight on in a lighted room and she grabbed me. ??? So I hit escape and quit the game. Pretty bad frame drops, from 240 to 130ish. Needs some tuning and it would be a lot better. I think maybe the stutters caused me to get killed. Like the game recognized me in the wrong place. IDK, I'm reaching cause it was weird how it happened. The game is cheap and passes the time. Give it a shot.

I enjoyed the game a lot besides the couple bugs.
I would have liked it if there was a bit more depth in the story but i can't wish for everything xD
Overal scary and good jumpscares. The fear of darkness feature made the game more interesting.

Maybe make it a bit more difficult to stay in the light so that the game gets more challeging and difficult.
see here my playthrough!

This was an alright game! Some really good jumpscares that definitely got me, and the chase sequence at the end was really cool. It was pretty short compared to other games I've played around the same price point, and the story did feel a little rushed/not explained. But good for some scares.

Quick little horror game that took me 40 minutes to get through.
Whether or not you think that is worth $5 is totally up to you.

+ Graphics and atmosphere are well done
+ Some generally creepy moments and a few jump scares made me jump out of my seat

- Some very cheap deaths that I could not avoid happened about 3 times
(You only get put back about 1 minute of game time however which was nice)
- Story is cliche and not interesting
- The puzzles stick out and are unrelated to anything
- The flashlight battery goes out WAY too soon

If you like horror indie games you know what you are getting into, this one is super short but the atmosphere is good. I would get it on sale if possible for a buck or two.

TLDR: if you just want to watch a gameplay video scroll to the bottom of the review

This is a short (around 30 minute) horror game. It has a very nice spooky atmosphere that wants to keep you in a lit area at all times. Your flashlight is your only saving grace. all in all the game felt like it might be this developer's first horror game. If this is the case then I feel they did a fairly good job at a first time game. None of the puzzles in the game were very complex (I still managed to fumble them all though, whoops!); so it very much felt like they were testing what they were capable of doing puzzle wise. The flashlight mechanic felt fine to me. You burn through batteries quite quickly, but I ended the game with 7 or 8 batteries still so you definitely get plenty. The real star of the show though(no spoilers) is by and large the ending sequence to the game along with the atmosphere it sets. It was definitely one of the more interesting ending sequences to a short horror game I've played recently. No pulse pounding happening for that sequence , but instead one of atmospheric pressure. if 5 bucks isn't an issue, then definitely add it to your collection to enjoy a nice short experience; or if you're hard up for money wait for a sale. I suffered no jank at all during my playthrough except a single time where the entity turned off my flashlight and I didn't realize it. Game fault or mine? you decide! hah.

As long as this was this developer's first game then I will definitely buy what they put out next as this felt like a wonderful short journey of a horror game. I'm always excited for new devs to see what they are capable of. Definitely need to see some confidence in making the puzzles harder for the next one if you plan on doing more!
