Rock solid atmosphere and the soundscape was amazing, some hints to guide the player in vaguely the right direction and this would be an awesome game.

I just wanted to say that after dying in the dark a few times, I finally found a landmark I hadn't seen before (a crate) and thought maybe this path was the one to the exit.
You made me feel excited to see a plain wooden crate. Nice work, guys.
The atmosphere of this game was excellent! I found the gameplay to be a bit conflicting - I wanted to take my time and be immersed but I also wanted to hurry to escape. The death cutscene was amazing! I thought it was a better payoff than escaping even.
Hmm. I found the graphics pretty good considering the time frame but I didn't find the gameplay that fun, yes, adding some way to direct the player with sound or something would have been nice. Cool this takes place in Oregon though, kudos for that.
The typography and the sfx and music are awesome, you make a great game never give up
Great looking game! Wish the layout wasn't so confusing. Never could find the exit :(
Couldn't win but enjoyed the effect of dying.
I think some landmarks would have been a good idea, not many - and maybe just subtle things. Audio cues would have been especially powerful.
The game was straight forward and accomplished the goal though. It creeped me out pretty hard the first time through and I was bracing for a big scare at the end.
I liked the art style and it was definitely an unsettling experience. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback everyone. The criticism is very helpful. I will make sure to checkout all your games and return the favor.
I wasn't able to get the game to run using the HTML5 version. The screenshots look cool though!
I also failed to find my way out. The layout felt non-Euclidean to me...so if it isn't, nice job on the feel :P.
VERY nice art and atmosphere! But I found the game a bit boring
Same for me, I'm really fan of the atmosphere and arts, but walking through corridors only watching on my power gauge until it's empty is a bit boring... A good concept game to be improved!!
Nice concept !
**Positive things :** - The graphics and overall atmosphere are good - The ambiance contributes to that atmosphere
**Negative things :** - The game could be better if there were some sort of checkpoints to refill your battery and keep looking for the exit
A good entry nontheless, good job ! :)
The graphics and sound are very nice, not much in the way of gameplay though. I kept expecting a monster to pop out lol. Nice job on the ambiance!
