How it feels
A tense, resource-starved stealth crawl where every step in the dark is a gamble between your light and your life.

What players say
Players describe a short but challenging game built around a clever light-based health mechanic. The experience is over quickly, which suits its difficulty, and some missed having a story. The ending and visuals get praise, and a few set challenges by replaying.
