Short horror themed rpg/resource management game made for the Newgrounds 2023 Halloween Spooktacular! Controlled with WASD/ Arrow Keys and the Enter key! I hope you enjoy!

Update Oct. 18 - Fixed issue with using WASD and a game breaking bug in the final room

Update Oct. 23 - Fixed oversight that allowed player to obtain an item early and updated the credits to be more specific

Hmm, a decent little dungeon crawler! The story, visuals, and exploration were pretty good as I liked reading all of the logs, collecting items and seeing weird creatures, but the game was held back by the tedious menus/navigation, rather dry combat and annoying random encounters/resource management. It was short enough that I made it to the end, but it was good that it ended when it did as my resources started to fall apart and I needed to awkwardly redo the boss fight after dying and just spam it down.

Thank you for your feedback I really appreciate it!

I really really like this! Got stuck at one point then was able to do some trial and error to figure out what I had to do next. Other than that, navigating and exploring this world you created is fun and engaging, and the game is just the right length/difficulty.

Seethe-Thorn responds:

Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed!!

amazing artwork and fitting sound effects + music! you can tell a lot of hard work went into making everything :)

Seethe-Thorn responds:

Thank you so much!!!

great game and premise, only criticisms i have are all technical; mainly a typo or two, WASD not working and having to use the arrow keys (personally i like the broken key layout the way it is but thats because im weird), and the odd game breaking glitch when you enter the fungus chamber. i think that with a good once over in the code and a grammar check this could be a great functioning game, but for what was visible, its very good. i love the artstyle, i don't know how to describe it but it adds a certain charm. i think this game (and you as well) has great potential, even with how short it is. plus i love the candle mechanic.

EDIT: replayed the game a few days later, very glad it got fixed, bumped my rating up B) but seriously this is cool, hope to see more from you if you ever continue making things!

Seethe-Thorn responds:

Thank you for the feedback! Could you let me know what the game breaking glitch in the fungus chamber is I haven't encountered it myself and would love to fix it!
Edit: Nevermind I think I found the glitch, will up date soon!
