Honestly the game itself is short, but it is still quite a solid lil experience. Took about 45 minutes to get every achievement, and it's neat that there's 3 different endings for a free game. Absolutely worth it! Good job dev!

very effective with the whole fear of the dark thing that immediately reminded me of being a child i also LOVED the [spoiler] romance ending, and i believe that should be canon ofc[/spoiler] even though it was short it was solid and my only issue is the use of ai for the achievement icons and the pictures on the wall glad its free though

[h2]That's the idea of Lights Off! brought to mind and served much better than in the original!

Not recommended Jul 15, 2026

Good luck for this person's future in game development but closing the lights for 6 days and wasting 10 minutes for such a weak ending was not enjoyable.
