The Torchbearer

PC controls: W-A-S-D to move, Left Shift to toggle light
You wake up bathed in a warm glow. Beside you on the cold, stone-tiled floor is a flickering torch. It looks freshly lit, so it should last several hours. Picking yourself off the ground, you look up to see a tunnel leading upwards, and you can see sunlight coming from the other side. You try as hard as you possibly can to climb out, but your hands slip against the smooth stone surface. After your fifth attempt, your hands are bleeding, and you realize that you can’t get out of here that way. Looking around, you see that you are in an enclosed room with one exit. Examining the door, you see an inscription saying that once you enter, you cannot come back to this room again. You turn and look at the hole in the ceiling, then take a deep breath. You open the door and step into blackness. The thick metal door closes behind you.
The creatures that roam these tunnels are drawn to heat; use your torch wisely

Nice exploration game and fun reflex check with the light mechanic. I like it! I made it really far but got killed, so I think checkpoints would be really good too. Nice work and hope to see more in the future!
I do hope to update this game more in the future.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR FEEDBACK! It helps A TON!
