Umbral
A downloadable game for Windows
UMBRAL is a first-person psychological horror experience where time is fractured, reality is unstable, and something is stalking you in the dark...
You are Test Subject #47, a prisoner offered freedom in exchange for participating in a top-secret experiment. Scientists at a remote research facility have discovered an otherworldly substance, one they believe holds the key to something far greater. But when the procedure begins, everything goes wrong.
The facility is abandoned. The halls are decayed. The experiment has thrown you into a limbo between worlds, into the umbral, and you are not alone. Something watches from the shadows.
To escape, you must stabilize the Beacon, collect the scattered light fragments, and uncover the truth behind the experiment. But the deeper you go, the more the lines between reality and nightmare begin to blur.
Somewhere in this cycle, there is a way out.
You just have to find it...

Came to try it out after seeing your devlog which really interested me, your content deserves more recognition!
Visually really impressive and built on a neat premise! Though I'll admit had a lot of trouble finding the correct passcode for the door & ended up needing to watch the other commenter's video, turns out I understood the puzzle of it, but got confused by the signage. :/
Feedback:
- I had to play on my second monitor as it would only launch onto that one and was stuck there since no windowed mode exists.
- I wish the enemy were a bit more ruthless, even if it would contradict the ending a bit. (perhaps ramping up as you collect more gems?)
- Different behavior when the player has an empty inventory, as there doesn't seem to be any threat at that point.
- A fading trail of footprints where the player goes as I felt I was going in circles at points with similar looks of things.
- Different colored walls for each sector? Might help with the backtracking & signage problems I had.
Overall a fun short experience, I'd rate 7.5/10 :)
Good work!
