It was fun. Its kinda buggy sometimes (shadows walk beside you instead of killing you) but very good overall. Loved the art and soud effects.

Note: Shadows are supposed to walk beside you when you're in the light, that's how you keep them from killing you. Only when your torch dies out (Or if you step on the Slime shadow) will they actually be able to kill you.
Very good game, but also quiet challenging. The only real problem is that it is more about keeping yourself alive than something else. But other than that, I love the shadows and the graphics too! well done
Nice spooky vibes! There was some real tasty sound design in here, too~
Nice art! Graphics and sounds are very immersive.
SPACE + WASD = Run not working to me, but I think I couldn't do it because I had logs. btw nice game!!
Such a great game! It's so atmospheric. I loved the art, music and sounds. The lighing effect is awesome. Ghosts are spooky. Nice job!
@daregb Oh, this is actually a mistake on our part. It should read "SHIFT + SPACE". Since it's really important to let the player know about this, we're pushing a fix on a few minutes, in case you want to give it another shot. Thank you so much for letting us know about it!
A game with a good mood, great work with this entry!
Great mood and art! I wasn't entirely clear what I was supposed to do, but I enjoyed my time with it! The shadow-beast things were really neat. I liked how they stayed away from the light.
very nice atmosphere. dark and horror
Is that music original? If it is congrats to the composer, the piano is amazing but the guitar nailed it! I can tell you guys like don't starve :P
What an experience! The art direction of this game is just amazing. From the sprites to the music to the feeling of hearth when you are near a fireplace, to the terrifying look and movement of the shadow blobs. A great atmosphere from start to finish. Loved the way the game explained its mechanics in the main menu. A challenging game for sure, as I did not manage to beat it. Far from it. Only problem I had is the fact, that wood logs are spawning in unreachable places. (Or are they not unreachable?) Overall great game. Well done!
I must say, when I saw the monster the first time, the fear start creeping over me. I absolutely love the graphics and the sound. The lighting effect is awesome. The shadow feature is great too. The atmosphere is just as it supposed to be for this kind of game. Really nice job.
Absolutely love the atmosphere; the art and music work perfectly together! Seemed a bit too challenging at first but really love the vibe and it encourages repeated attempts. :)
It's funny, our entry is eerily similar to yours... Great entry!
Oh my goodness! Thank you @r2isabot I'm so glad you liked my music :)
Really love the atmosphere!
Great atmosphere. The use of the lighting effects was superb as was the music. It took a couple times to figure it all out, but I did get it down. Great work.
Loved the vibe of this game, audio and lighting really did a lot to sell it. Really well done!
Very spooky vibe. Amazing overall art and sound. I really enjoyed playing. I even found another fire pit and was able to light it and get a log on but unfortunately didn't get it bright enough in time for the shadows to come out and kill me. Wasn't sure what benefit the chests provided that spawned? Great entry overall!
Nice moody game! Here is the video of me playing the game:

The style was really nice and had a really good feel, but the goal of the game was not really clear to me. Just find survive I thought but what was the weird altars I found? So if it is a goal to also find them maybe put some ui telling the player how many are found and how many are still out there. And when I finished the game I saw that I actually was searching for a soul so just clearer instructions would have been nice.
Other than that it was really good!
i'm glad to test a game with a similar concept of mine, but in a very differente way ! the gameplay is cool and fun woks very well, it's cool to have differents biomes too ! great job !
I really only have positives to say about this game.
I played this game an unhealthy amount of times. It was super addicting. I was really impressed with it's simplicity and the mood it established. The first time I saw the shadow, it startled the crap out of me.
If Lieut. James Longstreet was still with us, I would have loved it if he documented my life.
Excellent game.
Very atmospheric game! The beauty of effects, music and story mood made it a very enjoyable playing experience!
Sound really helped set a mood. I had a similar idea, but went in another direction. I like how your idea turned out.
Fun game! I like the depth put into the throwing mechanic, and the shadows work well. The webGL version definitely doesn't handle the graphics as smoothly, but what can you do? The shadow souls were a good idea, well executed - nice work!
@svarttand Thanks a lot for uploading the video, it was awesome to see you play! Sadly, the WebGL version will not render the fire correctly sometimes :(. If you can, I'd advise you play the Windows/Mac versions, where this issue doesn't happen.
You did very well, and were pretty fearless when facing the shadows! Also, thanks for the feedback, showing every item you've collected is something we're discussing right now as a future addition, for sure.
The objective of the game is to survive & collect the chests, as well as exploring the dark forest and discovering the secrets it beholds. If you give it another shot, try heading east from the central bonfire and follow the creepy music, it may lead you to the forest's darkest secret... ;)
Thanks for playing!
Thanks everyone for the supportive comments and the great feedback!
We're glad you enjoyed playing our game. :)
Too much to explore. Prefect mood and music!
