Tryed it, got vibes from both "risk of rain" and "gods will be watching". Twas fun

.
Indeed the time to wait at death is a bit slow. Unless you really want the death to be a frustrating experience (wich is a valid gameplay point to be honest), I would sugest to shorten the time you have to wait to relaunch, even more you could add a shortcut to restart as soon as you die (a keyboard shortcut for example), à la SuperMeatBoy.
Still a very enjoyable and atmospheric experience !
It is indeed not very easy to read what is going on on the first plays, but I don't really mind. The lack of clear info on what is going on do accentuate the sensation of urgency.
Oh and the deaths are leightfully gruesome !
So yeah, great game, thank you for sharing it!
