im glad it’s working out for you so far!
i’ve thought about increasing the amount of footsteps that can be present at one time but figured leaving it as is would help the retro aesthetic AND would contribute more to getting lost. don’t worry, i also made the map deliberately confusing to compensate for it’s small size, so your sense of direction is not fully to blame! i think i wanted people to enter this panic state where they’re freezing and are desperately trying to find the campfire again but just keep stumbling even deeper into the forest.
and yeah, Noire is present in the game as well!
I’m impressed by the mood of the game. The way you force the player to rely on audio clues, and then turn off the light to avoid “the threat”, makes it even scarier than just seeing it.
