Survive the night

This is my first ever game. Created in Lua for the playdate. This game will only be playable on the playdate (recommended) or the simulator for PC/mac.

You are out in the woods, camping.

All alone

Just as darkness falls, your flashlight dies.

You hear noises in the darkness of the woods.

Luckily, your flashlight has a handcrank and the thing lurking in the dark is allergic to light.

Use the crank on your playdate to keep the monster at bay. Choose between surviving for 60 seconds in three different difficulties or survive for as long as you possibly can in the survival mode. Your highest ever score/longest time of survival is stored in the dedicated high-score sub-menu. I guess this is technically a survival horror game.

Good luck trying to survive the night!

v1.1 uploaded 28.06.2024: Fixed a bug where the sound of the monster continued into the main menu after winning the game. Also added a few sound effects.
