Scary spooky shadows thar. Ended up walking backwards a lot to slow them down, not sure how much it helped, but whew. Never was a hallway with lights so welcome.

Scary spooky shadows thar. Ended up walking backwards a lot to slow them down, not sure how much it helped, but whew. Never was a hallway with lights so welcome.
Love the concept of the kind of shadow world thing. Not one to play right before I go to bed. The audio really completed the experience, great job there. Awesome job guys.
The audio really made this one creepy. I'm a wuss when it comes to scary games so I couldn't get very far, but it definitely hit right in the creepy feels. lol
I wasn't quite sure what to do once the shadows appeared. It seemed like my flashlight didn't really do much.
A fun exploration though. I liked the shadow mechanic.
The mood though was great. Felt really creepy the whole time.
Flashlight seemed very ineffective and died far too quickly for how hard it was to get out of the shadow world. I died quite a few times before I finally found a key and ended up dying because I was overrun by like 6 or so shadows. I like the ideas, would love to see them implemented when you have more time to work on them!
I love the flashlight mechanic, really reminds me of Alan Wake. Sadly I couldn't even find the key haha but from everything I played the game is really well put together!
Pretty creepy! Especially the wall posters.
The sound is really creepy and after dying about 10 times I finally was able to end the game. I don't know what positive effect the flashlight has but overall it is a nice entry.
Shadow is so fast and many..., even I use the flashlight.
But the atmosphere is good!
I like the detail you put into this game. The horror aspect was well done. It was hard to play though, I kept on getting killed by multiple shadows ganging up on me.
I like the backwards sound when you die, as well as the 3D effect. Nice Job.
Scary atmosphere, really liked it :) I'm too wimpy to continue playing XD but great game! :D
Nice concept and the sound design is amazing! I have the feeling that a dumber IA maybe would be more enjoyable
ok, creepy as fsck. the mechanics were a bit weird, but it was interesting and novel. nicely done.
Wow, that was spooky. I had my earhpones in and volume to max the first time i encountered the shadows gave me the chills! I'm not a big fan of horror games but this was fun!
Nice atmosphere, got terrified when I ran out of battery.
~funkeh
Atmosphere & mood are really great! Good job!
Wow! I found the key once bit I couldn't make it to the exit. Great atmosphere. I wish I were able to get the key a second time.
Intense game with great sound effects and intense gameplay. I didn't feel like the flashlight had much effect at first. I wish it would defeat the shadows instead of merely slowing them down.
It wasn't that fun to have to run backwards while shining a light downwards, but it did evoke plenty of emotion.
I liked the flickering lights, although all the textures seemed to be a little flat.
Minimal UI was nice.
It's interesting and graphically very well for a jam! good job!
There is kind of a bug, cause they say hold space to go to other world, I just tapped space, and now I can't get back to my world. Also the flash light does absolutely nothing, and they still chase me! :(
Died the first time, but got through on my second attempt. Very short, but everything works and the mood is really creepy when you're getting close to death. Great entry, man! Well done.
Definitely had a spooky mood to it. Love these kinds of horror games. Although it was difficult, you did a good job.
Wow, amazing game with good graphics and sounds. I liked the controls of slipping into the other world and the flashlight for protection.
Oh man, it remembered me of Slender Man, so moody! Too easy to die, or I guess that I did not know how to properly play. Great job!
Great idea!
Fantastic. You got the Slender Man mood down perfectly.
Very moody
Cool game but the key location really should be randomized, after descovering where it is the first time, the game becomes so plain simple, it's not a challenge anymore. The mood and audio are very good though.
It seems like I just die. O-o I dunno... I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3RN80xyak-c
