I love the core game that you've built. It takes a bit long to get through the tutorial but it's worth it. I enjoy the overall atmosphere and gameplay, it just feels like something is missing. The ghost itself isn't all to scary or threatening but the sound design is great! It's more enjoyable as a puzzle game than a scary game imo. 

One random issue I kept having was with the main inventory. You I couldn't dual wield any of the main items, candle, lighter, and music box. However it seems like you should really be able to walk around with the music box plus a light source. The candle is far greater than the lighter too so I never even bothered with it.  And it's way too dark to sacrifice a light source for the music box. Plus I never even needed the box  for anything.

I did get lost and confused for a big portion of the video but I eventually understood what was going on. There's just a lot to remember and it's easy to forget one or two key parts of the game through all that. Like how I forgot how to put down the items lol.

Overall fun game though!

Really well done! I loved it! hope to see more from all of you! thank you for sharing your art!
