Mare (Spooky 2D Jam 2022)
Move - WASD / Arrow Keys
Lantern - SPACE
Sprint - SHIFT
A game inspired by the story of "Bäckahästen" from nordic folklore. You are lost in the woods, carrying only your lantern. Find your way out, but beware of the creatures you may encounter - not all are friendly.
Some polishing needed, but it's all made from scratch for the Spooky 2D Jam 2022!
Thank you for playing, we hope you enjoy it!

Hi! Nice game, but after figuring out the fox, is the ending where the horse gets you the intended ending? I try hiding behind the bushes, but it gets me every time. Also, what's the name of the monster that comes after you in the dark?
You need to hide and turn the light out to avoid the horse :)
The thing that comes after you was originally supposed to be The Mare, but due to lack of time it became your run of the mill shadowy demon figure instead.
Really good game! Took some time to figure out the fox but I found out in the end!
Really liked the mechanic of needing to hide behind the bushes.
10/10 Would play again!
Great game, but I have the same issue farenheit451 has below. I can't seem to get past the pile of rocks?
You need to get some help from the fox lurking in front of them! See if you can somehow get him in the light of the lantern ^^
Hello ! Nice game, I love the style and sound composition :D
I am also stuck at a bunch of rocks, after following the horse. May I have a hint ?
Edit : nevermind I got it !
Glad you made it out in one piece! Thank you for playing! :D
cool game! im just stuck at the fox!!
Thanks! :) Try finding a way to shine the light on it!
Looks great, and the audio is really well done!
I seem to be stuck on the branch by the birds at the right... Is there some way for me to get past this?
Oh, wait, never mind, it progessed when I clicked back in... ^^'
Really weird, if I scroll down to the bottom of the page, then back up, it works...
I think maybe it's working as intended but doesn't communicate what happens well enough :P The idea is that when you stand still by the birds and have the lamp lit, they start singing (you should hear this clearly), then after a short while they speak to you and help you remove the branch :P
Could that be it? Or is there a bug I'm not aware of?
Yeah, It all just seems to work now, lol. I think I was just being silly. :S
Thanks!
Ah alright :) Great that you took time to test it out and got back to us with feedback, we really appreciate it ^^ And thanks for playing!
