PHOSPHORUS
If your flame dies out and you have no spare matches, you'll be plunged into darkness and forced to restart your escapade from the very beginning. So, Collect matches before your current match runs out!
Controls : WASD - movement, Escape - Pause
PHOSPHORUS is inspired by early 2000s gaming, a time where drawing out your explored area in the game wasn't uncommon, and in some cases, a great way to play. I encourage you to grab a pen and paper to sketch out your path.
While PHOSPHORUS is best experienced with the aid of physical notes and maps, players with a strong sense of spatial reasoning and direction can attempt a more challenging playthrough without any external aids. Play your way!

Good Game loved the way it follows the rules of the infinite loop just a little upgrades to the game would be nice.
(could you please add a task system and an inventory system to keep an account of matches and if possible add like torn pieces of map with locked rooms if possible), otherwise it's is a good game. The movement reminds me of the doom 1993 and Wolfenstein
Good Job!
