Thanks very much! We are thankful that you made a video about our game, it helps us a lot seeing other people not involved in the development test things to see where the most difficulties are. Great to hear that you enjoyed the concept and the idea, even though you didn't make it back home and are now lost in the dark.

Great start on the game! Love the art direction, just think it needs some explanation of the game mechanics. Hope to see more in the future!

Thanks for the feedback, means a lot! We thought the mechanics would be self explanatory, but we appreciate the suggestion.
