I was taken a bit by surprise the first time I failed because the weakness meter in the corner both didn't sufficiently attract my attention when it was filling up and wasn't entirely clear when exactly it would mean game over.
While starting each level felt a bit strange that I was zoomed in on the people and needed to flutter to get to see myself.
Very well made entry and hope you can gather some more votes the game these last hours.
-It isn't quite clear when the people get frighten and how near you can get to them but maybe it just needs a bit practice
-Game over when you are near the torches even when there are no people around?
-Get sometimes stuck between trees
-Sometimes when you loose you still have the blurry screen ect but can go and scare people and not die when they see you.
-Window too big (or my screen to small, cant fit it on one screen so the indicater onthe top right is cut of)
STILL WOULD PLAY AGAIN.
Need a bit sanding at the edges but cool concept and art. Also love the lil skittering noises when i walk!
The core concept of the game is also interesting and fun. I just got stuck too many times in trees. And it was not always clear why I lost. I think the light sources turned off in rare occasions, so I had to pay attention to the torches themselves.
