Sweet short horror experience, I can definitely feel the RPGmaker inspiration while boasting a clean and easy to use inventory as well as the enemy flashlight mechanic, I am impressed it plays well with just one hand, some extra accessibility points haha.

The story event if short is nice (I missed one ending tho), specially with those animated cut-scenes that are very high quality; My only suggestion would be add more sound design, be it BGM or sound effects.

Keep up the good work!
