Fun, short game. I like it very much, and the rain is great. As for the atmospherics, I'm not sure. It was nice though.

Nice little game indeed. Running/jumping felt good and it looks nice, especially the rain.
Digging out ghosts is great idea, but little dissappointed those did not harm me at all, making it less horror... :(
...well, maybe because due to the end. No, I did not want to work for the evil - NOOOOO!!!! :D
Ran into a bug. :) If you jump to the left into a wall, you fall down below the ground. I fell right off the map.
Trying to get screenshot.

Ah, thank you Susan. That's exactly the bug I've been looking for. Can you reproduce it? I can't. :( If I could, I might be able to find out what's wrong...
I know I was trying to jump to the left, but I jumped straight into the wall instead.
- held down left arrow
- running into wall
- hit up arrow while still holding left arrow
- fell below floor

The rain and other ambiance create a great atmosphere. The game isn't terribly scary, but it is very charming!
Jumping led to a glitch on one of the rooftops (small building, cramped pit in the top with a ghost in it). I jumped and went through the floor. Kept jumping to get unstuck.
Thank you all for your comments. I think I found the bug, but I'll leave the files how I submitted them. It's really not very scary. I didn't have too great ideas about scaryness and just went ahead doing what I could think of. Platform basics kept me busy enough as you see ;)
Except for the falling-through-floors bug, this was really nice. Solid pixel platformer. The rain looked really nice, in particular. I liked how the level exposed me to the world's vocabulary before I had the tools to interact it.
