Just finished it, those boss fights were awesome, and the atmosphere was great. I would've liked to see more of was

the kid. Even just a short chat with him. If he was explained somewhere, I missed it.

Also, is it normal that certain enemies rarely aggro you?

Some of them only attack you if you stand in front of them and shine your light in their faces.

Where do you find the key for the locked door where the worm boss chase you? Am I supposed to have a key?

There is a path South of the door. To the right of where my character is. Easy to miss while being chased, but it is there. It's those two gray tiles.

Oh.

[Xantalos]

Gonna trying this eventually.

Just played through this.  I really liked it, it's very well done and does a lot with amazingly little.  I'm kinda amazed how frightening a little pixelated roguelike can be.

I especially liked the first follower monster that just appeared out of nowhere.  Freaked me out and nearly got me killed right there. 

Also, I actually tried shooting the kid when he first started following me.  I figured that since this is a horror game he was some sort of monster.  Kinda felt guilty after he got roasted.  And betrayed by the fire which had been so helpful before.

I'm pretty sure the kid was a hallucination of some sort.  A memory of the protagonist's son, who burned in his sleep after the protagonist accidentally set the house on fire.

In fact, I'm pretty sure most of it was a big hallucination on the protagonist's part, literally fighting his demons.  That's why the spirit of fire looks like a palette swap, and why all the dwarves with crossbows in the second-to-last segment are mirroring his movements.  It's also why fire destroying everthing and being a main enemy kept happening; the protagonist viewed it as an enemy because it got out of control and burned down his house.

...Or I could just be reading way too heavily into it, and he really just exorcised a ghostfiredemonmonsterrawr.  All I know for sure is that the whole thing could have been avoided if the protagonist had just raised his fires with a firm sense of rules and boundaries.

Oh, believe me, I tried to play Dwarf Fortress. I really respect it, but I eventually found making my own game was easier than properly learning to play : P

I hope you don't if I sig this.

[QuakeIV]

That sig is how I found this game.

This thing is excellent by the way.

[Amperzand]

And I. Neat, I'll have to check it out when I next get access to a windows machine.

[hops]

Oh man, this brings back memories. Let's share this around again.

[Orange Wizard]

Let's share this around again.

Kinda sad it didn't get more attention the first time.

[Amperzand]

'Tis a bit odd, this seems super neat.

[IcyTea31]

Oh, cool. Downloading now.

[Gwolfski]

Nice

[IcyTea31]

Well, that was quite a ride. Beautiful.
