Hello there traveller. Are you going into that maze? I must warn you, it's an awfully dreadful place there. Full of monsters and the like. You won't find many torches in there, you'll be in the darkness. But if you insist, go right on ahead. Farewell traveler.

stumbled on this game and found it pretty fun, only criticism is probably having a better map and optimisation. Other than that I read on another review that there were jumpscare areas which I don't know how i feel about since I thought this was simply a 2d maze game, if there are indeed jumpscares I feel like an option to toggle them would benefit the game in the long run. Overall, fun game, pls no jumpscare ;)
This game sooooooooo good
Cool concept, but I think I could have made it when I was 15 year old on scratch. Most deaths feel cheap, it just feels like you tried to make it hard unnecessarily.
Muy bueno , a pesar de ser simple es muy atmosferico y no te lleva de la mano, a veces puede costar saber que hacer pero en realidad esta muy bien hecho al final vas uniendo los puntos. Recomendado
