Great mood and audio. the beast with lots of teeth is terrifying. controlls rarely respond (or i don't understand them... could use an explanation)

Legitimately terrifying for such a simple game; love the dynamic use of light and dark... There were a few bugs with the enemy on occasion where he wouldn't move, but the mood is definitely there.

Honestly, you guys did an awesome job. Really really awesome. I thoroughly enjoyed the idea of these 2 powers, one lights up but only for a flash. And the move one, that could be good or bad depending on where you landed. The voice was epic. Loved it.

My god... It's like zombie Pacman came right back from the dead to haunt my nightmares. Simple game but man, this mood setting is off the charts ! Congrats !

Very nice aesthetics! A wonderful game.

"Please stay..." Really terrifying! I think if the enemies where a little slower, I could enjoy more the setting.

Good job. Excellent atmosphere created with sound, graphics and lighting. Some bugs with enemy not moving and had an unsolvable map.

Creepy "Where are you.." hehe.

Interesting game! I like it!

As others are saying, you're spot on with the aesthetics. The first several times I played, though, I just felt more frustrated than scared because I would run into a dead end before I could get a power-up, and the enemies would just be right on my tail and kill me without any suspense.

Hard and scary. Superb atmosphere.

The mood is very well done, but the enemy placement was too random that it didn't let me time to get get a chance to find a way out.

Nice with the effet of light !, And the idea, and the environment juste perfect !

This game shows that procedural generation is absolutely require for horror game. Every try keeps tension like first time. because player can't learn every corner of the maze.

I loved the creepy whispering and the general mood of this game. I had a few issues with it though. On several occasions I spawned in a hopeless situation as I was in a dead end and a bad guy was blocking my escape. I also noticed a couple of bugs. At one point my light power up stopped lighting up the screen, I still saw the glow around me but none of the darkness was lit. Also in the same game several (maybe all) of the bad guys stopped moving while facing a wall.

Incredible mood! The art and sound work very well together.

I think the AI bugged out on me when I used the special ability (a teleport, maybe) and the monsters got stuck to the walls. I searched the whole level, but couldn't find a way out.

Thank you all!!

@JoshuaBurr
Yes, there are some lags with AI and abilities. You found almost all. We'll fix them all soon

@Yaroslav Kravtsov
You are right! This wasn't our initial plan, but my friend insisted that it was necessary

@FloatingGhost
We didn't even expect our game turn out such scary!

@arzi
There is the way out, try to use abilities

Great graphics and mood, though it seemed kind of random and out of the blue whether or not I did well in the game. Often I'd flee the enemies only to bump into a dead end. Good game though.

Nice horror-maze game - it was really creepy :-) Great mood and audio!

Very well done and happy x-mas!

Great score for mood
