There's a ton of content here, though, for a jam game, and music as well. Pretty cool.

Was fun to explore the area and the cult theme is great.\r\rI kind of got stuck, couldn't figure out where to go after getting the first clue (with the running shoes).

The whispering was really creepy, which is good. haha I like how you introduced "power ups" to the hero. Solid entry.

Or something? At any rate, definitely an interesting approach."},{"author_name":"Dietrich Epp","author_uid":"7606","time":"May 18, 2014 @ 5:32pm","epoch":1400434020,"text":"Impressive content, but maybe a little less content and some more polish would have done some good. I'm not sure what the purpose of *not* sprinting is, and there's a building where you can jump in through the roof which seems buggy--there are a bunch of cultists on the ground level, and a clue above, but even when I jump through the roof, it doesn't trigger entering the building, you have to use the door, which is one-way. I liked that you could explore farther with powerups."}],"images":["ld29\/26650-4d0540f499235a5b85dc1c177d85b8c2.jpg","ld29\/26650-f069c40d5764fcbeb8b9522f7fb3a3c1.jpg","ld29\/26650-422a1a16d7ce357963f02863bd12b640.jpg","ld29\/26650-22c1c8a19bf29e783e1a3c91e42197d1.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"http:\/\/electrichorsesoftware.com\/LD29\/","text":"Web"},{"url":"http:\/\/electrichorsesoftware.com\/LD29\/DarknessShinesThrough.jar","text":"Multiplatform JAR"},{"url":"http:\/\/electrichorsesoftware.com\/LD29\/LD29.rar","text":"Source"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"19358","g_author":"26650","g_event":"LD29","g_eventkey":"22","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"19387","g_title":"Darkness Shines Through","g_status":"UCHK1","g_place":"702","g_commentcount":"25","g_site2_node_id":"0","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":[],"node":null,"orig_images":["http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/26650-shot0.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/26650-shot1.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/26650-shot2.png-eq-900-500.jpg","http:\/\/ludumdare.com\/compo\/wp-content\/compo2\/\/342546\/26650-shot3.png-eq-900-500.jpg"],"text":"Darkness Shines Through\r\n\r\nYou are an investigative reporter hired to look into a child that went missing.
