How it feels

You creep through a haunted mansion, using your light to fend off ghosts as you fight to escape a curse.

What players say

Players say this free 2D platformer is very short with four levels, each introducing a new mechanic. Some enjoy the light-and-dark puzzle idea, while others find it underused or frustrating, especially in a poorly-lit second level. The first boss is a Tetris minigame, which feels out of place to some.
