Still working on the full release of the game. I fixed some minor issues thanks to the feedback players sent over Discord. This feedback is so valuable that I decided to spend some time adding a bug report and suggestion system right into the game!

Just wanted to let you know that the demo of Pale Night is out on GameJolt! And we're looking for feedback! In this difficult platformer you'll have to avoid light at all cost in challenging puzzles based around shadows. https://gamejolt.com/games/Pale-night/609017
