How to play
Do not touch the light.
Any light enemy, item or liquid you’ll find in your gameplay will kill our protagonist.
The core mechanic of my game is that you can hide from the light enemies by blending into the environment. You can also check if you’re hidden by seeing the eye on the bottom of the screen.
If you can’t find the protagonist on the screen, you can display a temporary outline by pressing the “Character outline” button
