This game was made for the Terror Jam 2026 with the theme: 

TOO HARD? If you're too HELPLESS...

You might feel HELPLESS because of the darkness... thats intended! See the theme ;)
If it feels really unsolvable and you need a cheatcode to uncover the whole story, you might want to set the graphics to "Low" - this disables the shadow/darkness as well and let's you uncover all the secrets far easier. Use at your own risk!

Thanks for the inspiration!

Since I can imagine doing more development on the game i would love to hear your feedback. 

Have fear playing! ;)
