A downloadable game for Windows

Keep the lights on... or else.
Edgar -
Sorry to leave you on the 3am shift tonight. I know it's your first time after-hours but I know you'll do alright. Make sure to turn the lights back on after they flicker out in order to keep away those pesky bats. Rats with wings, let me tell ya. If the bats stay at the lampposts for too long, well, they'll mess with the electrical system... permanently. We don't want that. Don't forget!!
See ya tomorrow,
Gordon
Use WASD to move and E to turn on lamps. You can pause by pressing Escape.

I don't know if the version I downloaded was an earlier version or something, but my character was a white egg rather than the death/plague doctor character. I really like the visual style of this game, and the gameplay is fun if a little drawn out (I think losing when you lose 1 lamp would be fun). My one real issue is the lack of tutorial or explanation in game.
Sorry about that! That was an old demo version I sent out for testing during development - I've fixed the zip thanks to the lovely game jam hosts, and this version has been balanced to be quicker than the demo version. Feel free to redownload and play again! There's also a video on the page now if you'd rather watch it than redownload.
Thanks for playing!
