Try to find your way out without being caught by your predecessors from the 13th century.
\nCan you do it, and how many times? They will know you were there. (You can try again.)
\nUse arrow keys or WASD to move.
\nCrosses might help you on your way out.

I found it too easy though, without any incentives to keep escaping the same map layout - a randomized room might be better.

\nHowever, it felt a bit short. More levels would have been nice. I think diagonal movement could also improve the gameplay.

The issue is the number of levels is very low…. just 1. So I’d like to see you move forward in the next game with more variety.

I think the floor should have some more texture or more objects should be placed in the room, because sometimes it looked like I was not moving, e.g. when moving along a long wall. I also had sometimes some stutters, not sure if it is my PC.

On the way, you sometimes find crosses, which give you a wider range of light and slow down the ghosts. You could argue this isn’t really on-theme, although it is fun for a few rounds.
\nIt’s graphically quite cute, and I really liked the slightly spooky music. The only downside is that the level didn’t seem to change, so once you know where the exit is, you just keep going there level after level. The quantity of ghosts does increase each time, however, so it becomes more challenging in that respect (as one touch and it’s game over) but a variety in levels would have been great.

It was meant to be more in theme but we had trouble finishing our ideas from Finnish history and tell the full story.

\nIt seems to me that somewhere from level 5+, when there are more ghosts, the game starts to slow down.
\nI think the random location of the doors will add interest to the game.
\nI reached the 7th circle :).

A slightly odd choice on the lead melody, but the vibe in the audio was really effective. The actual game of tag was also very playable and intuitive, nicely done packing all of that and nice visuals into 13k!
