Gameplay

Fresh on the job as a guide for the local park by the city, you are sent to investigate mysterious disappearances by Kinifell Cave. What you find are a cult of people who do not look human. After generations of somehow living in isolation, they have acquired a taste for any food they can come across, including you.

You must escape these cultists' cave. Fortunately, your only item, a flashlight, is their biggest weakness. From not seeing the sun ever, they possess a hypersensitivity to light, burning them to a crisp instantly. Use it!

They can't see you, but they can definitely hear. Get too close or step on anything that makes noise, they will hear. Be stealthy to get past them without alerting or haul ass, burning them with your flashlight along the way.

Good Luck!

Notes

-Some random walls pop up in open spaces. Most of the time they have no collision and you can walk right through. -Getting close to the enemy when they are in the fire animation will count as a hit and cause the faint animation.
