I didn't expect the game to scare me as much as it did, and I find the concept of using only one button to play really interesting.

Read my full review

Very interesting game really enjoyed it definitely looking forward to play more of your games

THIS CHRISTMAS WEEK HAS BEEN FULL TO THE BRIM WITH SCARES AND LAUGHTER AND I'M EXCITED FOR YOU ALL TO ENJOY ALL OF THEM!! ( This game was in the compilation! ) Youtube Link -

For a game that literally only requires one button, this was absolutely fantastic! Well done! 10/10

Perfectly executed horror game. Straight to the point but manages to keep the tension the whole way through. I wish there was more.. Great job !

I made a video on your game if you're interested :)

Enjoyed this game. Very unique horror game. Keep up the good work.


Great game, enjoyed it!!

good game, hope to be full time on yt one day! 

nah, ill stick to roblox flicker.

I will be playing this live tomorrow 12/14 around 5-530 PM EST 

I NEED TO PUT FUEL IN MY ZIPPO BEFORE GETTING LOST IN THE WOODS

This is such a good horror game great job I actually loved it, and was super surprised you made it so perfect even with the limitation of one button or rather maximized the horror by only having one button to press!

This was really dope ! Has the potential to be really spooky.

Another highlight for the indie scene. It's always great to see new gimmicks showcase the strengths of horror as a genre. It may be seen as basic on surface value but anyone with a keen eye can pinpoint the charm it holds.

I have a playthrough and a review elaborating a bit more on my thoughts, timestamped accordingly. Enjoy.

played this on a 3 scary games.

Great concept, haven’t seen anything like it before, was really creepy.

Keep up the good work!

I failed to read the roach warning and definitely would have thrown my mouse if this wasn't a one-button game LOL. The whole thing is very well done but that part was definitely the scariest for me(I hate the crawlies

Absolutely a wild ride! Didn't know a game with only one button could be so terrifying! Amazing job!

Very interesting horror game. 

This was a great short experience! I wouldn't mind playing a longer game with a similar mechanic to this :) (First game in the video)

Eeewwww, Roaches!!!! Great game!!!

This game was a very enjoyable experience! I really love the jumpscares!

Very interesting horror game. 

The perfect game to play before bed

ALL I WANT TO DO IS JUST GO HOME BUT THERE'S BUGS AND BLOOD AND BIG BUGS FALLING FROM THE SKY, IT'S MADNESS ALL AROUND!! Youtube Link - 

Wow that was so cool to play!

Included this in my 3 random horror game video!

Short, simple but definitely scary! Loved the whole idea of only pressing space to light up the lighter and move at the same time. Really gives you no options for other escape options or anything. Made a video on it.

this game was very interesting! I loved it for it's short and sweet narrative!~

Great game, I felt disgusted and scared

Good job pal

good game scary tho bit 🥶 

Thanks! There were a couple times that I even got scared while making it haha

Cool game!

I like the design but it feels like a CPS test with good animation. This isn't an insult it has a great vibe but try putting more work into the mechanics.

like I could never achieve those visuals.

Unfortunately the jam rules only allowed the use of 1 button for the whole game, so I couldn’t go too far with the mechanics.

Thanks for the input!

A possible way to play with the mechanics without breaking the one-button rule is to include events were the light needs to be off instead of on. It's a simple change, but I think it would work!

love the aesthetic

Love horrors from the itch, as a Jam project 9/10! Great work.
