A game about wandering deep into a forest with only light as your friend. The way home will be indicated by markers, but they are only visible when light shines on them.

Flashlight has the best range (left click to charge, but beware, that will attract monsters). Lantern will be silent, but has much less range. You can use torch to scare away monsters, but it has limited lifespan. Glowsticks can temporarily lure monsters away from you, but you have just a limited number of them available. (Tab to change light sources)

Can you make it home safely?

Theme

Not very literal

Deeper and deeper into the woods?

Ei olnud arusaadav, kuhu minema peab ja kus see sügavuse teema sisse haakub. Ekslesin metsas pikalt.

Deeper and deeper into the forest, a bit more novel than the ocean approach that others commonly took.

Enjoyment

Very interesting premise. Died a bit too quick though. The mechanic of changing the size and lightsource was cool. Also the level design. Well Done!

Really liked the concept, but was discouraged by the difficulty.

Didn't really understand the different tools/lanterns. Besides that, the game was just boring

Puudu on viis restartida kui surma saad. Tutuorial on küll olemas aga see tekst on liiga suur ja halvas kohas, et ma seda alguses ei pannud üldse tähelegi ja ei saanud luguda.

I kinda liked the sound effects, but they also kept playing after death. The mouse sensitivity was WAY TOO HIGH. Wish I could change it. The torch didn't really stop the monsters at all.

I didn't seem to scare away monsters with my torch and couldn't finish the game.

Ei olnud aru saada mis teha oli vaja ning controlid olid ka kadunud. Peale pikemat testimist sain lõpuks aru mis teha saab, kuid ikka tundus pigem robubst.

Aesthetics

If this was all original art then you did a great job. The footsteps were nice and crunchy :D

Nice looking visuals. Flashlight seemed kinda to do nothing.

I like the way the forest looks.

Väga meeldis puude kaugusest tekkimine/kadumine. Muidu oli meeldiv väljanägemine, kuid veidi levinud stiil.

Puud ja maastik olid ilusad, valged kastid, mida järgima pidid, olid alguses arusaamatud ja veidrad.

Innovation

Interesting mechanics on light and different light sources.

Interesting idea.

Bonus

Erinevate valgusallikate kasutamine oli huvitav.

Peale mängu enda ei olnud teisi asju, uuesti mängimiseks pidi restartima, puudusid controllide list (peale väga unreliable hint kirja mis ei andnud iga mängu ajal samu asju.)
