I found this game extremely simplistic, which isn't always bad, but not very entertaining. The first time I saw one of those ghouls chasing me I jumped a bit, because I wasn't expecting it, but after that I was pretty much just walking around randomly and jumping over the ghouls. Not very scarey and the sound could use some more to it so it's not as repetitive. Sorry, but personally, I just didn't care for the game.

Eh was int that scary nothing to new or interesting slender is what I call scary
simple, i was expecting something scary but it was just simple.
This game has boat loads of potential and would have been an easy 5 if not for a few problems.
I really liked the graphics. You did a fantastic job of pulling off a minimalistic approach. I liked that you included a full screen option; more people should do that. The music/sound was great and did a good job of setting the mood.
I appreciate that you make wasd controls an option, but they didn't work.
I think this game would benefit greatly from a little more polish in its design. These are the changes I'd personally make:
The 'Start' and 'About' buttons on the main menu seem to stand out like a sore thumb using a plain font. I'd use the same font you used for the title.
You should explain what your goal is and that the ghouls kill you. I didn't realise that until they killed me the first time.
I also think a map would really improve the game play. I found myself wandering helplessly with two lamps left.
When you die, it's a real drag to have to start from square one. After the second time I died I didn't care enough to try again.
I think some tweaking of the paths you follow is needed. Too many times I was being chased by a ghoul and was stuck battling what felt like pixel-perfect jumps. It really detracted from being immersed in the game.
Overall this game has a lot of potential, with some minor fixes it'd be a great game.
It's okay, but the fact that you have to go through a long tunnel on the right side of the map to get at the top again, where it can be really hard to dodge the ghoul, made it too frustrating to try again. I've three times but having to start off from nothing again is frustrating and made me end up not finishing the game, which could have otherwise been quite enjoyable.
