Shadows Under the Bed
Hiding under their bed during a dark time, a child finds themselves lost in an unfamiliar world. Many fearsome creatures roam the dark depths of this cavernous realm, but to get home they must face them and tread deeper in.
Helping them on this journey is their trusty safety blanket, who provides much-needed advice and platforming prowess.
Along the way, they'll have many encounters, some familiar, some unfamiliar, and many unsettling. Only by facing their fears and venturing into the shadows can they hope to find their way home.
This game was prototyped for Screamjam 2021, but our team decided to continue with it. Our goal was to create a simple thematic platformer that was challenging but rewarding. Feel free to provide us feedback, and we hope you enjoy the game!

good, and nice music. But a little too hard after area 2.
But found what seems to be a bug, I am randomly passing some areas.
The game is no longer under development, but I'd like to say thank you for the compliment on the music. I was quite proud about how this one turned out.
The checkpoints are a bit unbalanced, but other than that this is a really good game.
Thank you! Will definitely check that.
Thank you for playing our game!
Nice fun challenging adventure.
Thanks!
Great stuff : ) Area 2 could do with more checkpoints. as some of the puzzles take a while to setup and solve.
