Took me a little while to find the lighter and axe, but after I found them that's when it got interesting! haha I loved the feeling of being alone and really need to do what you can to survive. It had a great balance and I must say, the sea monster was very creepy haha. Great job!
thanks :)
Ha! Very cool, well done. It is a bit unforgiving while you are figuring out what to do, but I guees that can't be helped. I kept checking behind me because I was sure the big face was a distraction so I wouldn't notice something even worse popping up on the opposite side. It is reminiscent of those long nights in childhood when you couldn't look away from the darkest corner of the room because you were certain there was some horrible thing there waiting to get you as soon as you fall asleep.
... We all had nights like that, right?
Haha, yes I know exactly what you mean with not being able to look away as a kid. Sometimes I still get spooked by a dark spot that is in a slightly humanoid shape :o
This gave me the chills!
I noticed the lighter lit the wood just being near it. I think it would be an added challenge if you had to light the wood manually instead, especially in the dark. The other mechanics of the game work well. Took a few tries to beat.
Good game!
Thanks! Yeah, the lighter mechanics turned out a bit wonky. I’m glad u liked the game :)
