What an enchanting little project! It's time to face your darkness! was a powerful moment where I realized, Oh dang, it's time to DIVE IN!
Thanks!
Haha, glad you liked it!
Really felt the stress of the situation, I loved it. I would like to see more of this game
Thanks!
Would sure love to continue!
Oh this was exilerating, the music really gives you a lot of tension for the darkness. Really like how it is haunting, and the light mechanic. Like the player model and the music a lot. Only thing for me personally is because I get chased by the darkness i cannot really pay attention to the text that sometimes popped up and faded.
Thanks for the feedback!
When the text appears, it happens at a safe point / checkpoint, and you can actually stop moving and the shadow won't follow you, but I didn't put anything to make it look like it, as others pointed out
I'm definitively gonna take that into account for the next time!
Thanks for playing!
