Brilliant graphics and music. I really like the flashlight effect. The game was very atmospheric but I suddenly got overrun with waaay to many enemies to handle!

Fun and stylish gameplay. The blood made a convenient marker for where I had been :P I know darkness was kinda the point, but I could have use for a slightly brighter flashlight.

Didn't get very far, got swarmed by enemies. However, you've got some great graphics in this game!

Good looking game, but I couldn't get past getting swarmed by the little black things. Maybe I'm missing something? The flashlight and muzzle flash effect are very cool though.

There comes a lot of enemy's when you find the first guy.

Haha - sorry guys. Guess I made this a little too difficult! ^_^
You can get through though, I can do it (of course, I'm the bloody dev! haha). I've added a help link but basically, KEEP MOVING, burst fire, try to flank/avoid enemies when to opportunity arises (not often) shoot mostly ahead and at any ghost taking your soul!..
Good luck and thanks for playing/rating.

I have to agree that the music is great, and coupled with the limited field of vision provides immersion.

I escaped !!! :D Good game ... I was like " OMFG " when all that ghosts started attack :D ... good idea with flashlight ;)

Great job mate :) nice atmosphere throughout! Enemies swarmed me and it felt seriously tough

it was great, I was really hoping for aliens rather than ghosts mind :]. But great atmosphere, well done!

irreal 2011-08-24 08:55

thanks guys :o) @RichMakeGame: they could be the ghosts of aliens... ;o)

Nice looking. I wanted to move faster. Light was great. Sound was good as well. Nice atmosphere

Very creepy. The 1st part of the game with nothing attacking you realy set up the mood. I thaught there would be a finite number of enemies So I bunkered down in a corner. Aparently this was not a good idea.

Nice immersion, and I also expected aliens... but the ghosts was a welcome twist. A brighter flashlight would be a decent addition, but give it a burnout time or battery run-out perhaps?

Good job.

I loved the flashlight gobo, usually when people implement a flashlight, it's only a cone of light, this one felt like a flashlight.

Great approach. It's a pity that it's becoming sort of a zombie shooter quite soon. Would have made such a good suspense game.

This is a really cool game! One of my faves so far. The visuals and sounds are great. Starts out ominous, gets exciting when the enemies keep coming and coming and coming. Thanks :)
