Story

After a long stormy day you are ready to enjoy a long deep sleep to recover. You suddenly wake up, or at least that is what you think, and notice a strange noise. When you get closer to investigate the floor disappears and you fall into the darkness below.

Confused and disoriented, you must find a way out before anything bad happens.

Great!  The presentation is very professional and great lighting effects achieved within the limitations!  Love the death screen especially.


I like the idea, and the code system for recording progress is very smart.  The intro takes a long time and re-loading from a death takes a while and it felt a little too random, like I didn't have enough options for avoiding the monsters.

Super cool! I felt a bit like I was playing Pacman as I was keeping an eye on the edge of the flashlight and trying to find the batteries.

Great use of dithering for the flashlight!
