Very nice mood, i really like it. Dark and mysteriously
During my second try I also found that I could shine light with the mirror even if it was dark, until I closed the eye further from the beginning. I decided to close that eye first, because the camera angle got me and I got stuck to a wall and killed on my first try. Took me a while to find the exit after managing to close the eye too.
The atmosphere is absolutely fantastic. Been a while since I've played a game with fixed cameras and tank controls, so it's quite nostalgic too. Good job!
Very Resident Evil vibe with this, love the atmosphere and the cool graphic effects!
Everything in this game is top-notch, except the clunky controls.
I only don't like the Alone in the Dark control scheme, but it's no complain for your game.
I would like to see more entries like this!
I'd say "I miss a run button", but the absence of it also helps set up the mood, like "I want to run, but I can't for some reason".
This must be made into a full game. :3
But it was really boring if you leave the mood away. I felt like I had no goal, which is quite frustrating. Of course this is because I got stuck, too.
Anyways, great experience, but lacks a "game" - at least for me, because I got stuck.
Super awesome work!
VERY athmospheric, good job!
But still, great game!
After the first enemy near the first pool of light I was exploring and thinking to myself, "oh, you could totally throw a monster in one of these corridors and make the player lead it back for a kill," and then that totally happened. =D I never played "Alone in the Dark", but that moment felt a lot like the early pursuit in "Out of This World" (aka "Another World").
I picked tank controls because I'm not sure how direct controls would let you move backward. I tried replaying with direct controls, but the game didn't recognize any inputs (HTML5 build embedded in the submission page). Might have to reload it.
It really feels like this would lend itself to a larger game, if you were so inclined.
Fantastic work, can't wait to see what you make next! :)
