One Lamp
One room. One lamp. Hold anywhere to flare it and push the dark back. The oil only burns while you hold it, so the thing keeping you alive is the thing running you out. Shadows come in from all four walls.
One run is about a minute. No tutorial, no saves, no second chances.
I built this in a morning. It is the first thing I have ever finished. I want to know the exact second you let go.

Played it. To answer your question directly, I left the game after about a minute, once I realized there wasn't going to be anything else.
I wanted to see what happens after you die (who wouldn't, right?), so I let the darkness reach me - and that was it.
>> did you ever want to keep it burning?
It might I'm speculating here, but I see your question as a question from a game developer who want's to create a mechanics which would hold a player in the game.
In my opinion, there is not enough that "tamagotchi" effect yet, as the "investment" is quite small - just continue clicking.
I definitely can see an interesting survival game with such simple mechanics though, especially with this philosophical/existential theme about dark vs light.
