Very ghoulish game! You were right, definitely needs lights off and fullscreen. Thank you for making a toggle for that. Also, thanks for making such a spooky game! I will say that I found myself getting sort of lost, but then again I'm terrible at maze games. But even still, perhaps a mini-map would have been helpful? I'm impressed by the size and fluidity of the map, however.
I love how freaky the sound effects and ambient music is. The weird random screams, buzzings, and synth really remind me of those spooky Halloween tapes we used to get to answer the door with spooky sounds for trick or treaters.

out of 10...
gfx - 7 (really great atmosphere, but not drawings)
sfx - 10 (it's still playing in the background and scaring the hell out of me)
design - 8.5 (great design, but could use mini-map)
gameplay - 8 (very enthralling game, in spite of simple design)

overall, this is a heart-racing game that really makes you want to get that next lamp lit ASAP...cause you just never know what's around the corner. This game takes advantage of "the little things", which are often overlooked in many games.

I am just blown away at how good this game was!
the atmosphere an everything was perfect. I disagree with people below me. I think a lack of mini-map was intentional and required to create the creepy atmosphere. Not knowing where you are or what your doing is essential to convey the fear and terror of it all.

i think the lack of instruction was also intentional and neat. i felt really good once i figured out that the little blocks on the ONE place that was different than everything else (it stayed lit up without a beacon) was increasing with the number of lanterns i touched. Games that make you feel smart are the absolute best, instead of spoon feeding tasks to me. it was also cool to not know exactly how many lanterns there were. i thought i was done after the outer ring was lit, then i was confused until i found one more. it made me second guess every time i thought i had found them all. Would another ring show up around the outside? will i ever find all the lanterns and figure out what happens next? what if a wraith gets me, will i have to start over?

Utterly, totally, an awesome game.

Pretty awesome game! It wasn't too challenging although I missed the first two secret medals whatever they are. Might come back later to figure it out, I have a couple of ideas.

If you are struggling with it here are a few things:
-you can't die at a lantern
-you can see your progress towards completion at the lighthouse (the circle in the middle is a lantern too)
-you only take damage when the witch is in direct contact with you so make sure you change direction to shake her off of you and get back to a lantern if possible

Keep them coming!

I think it's inspired by Limbo is what my nipples think.
