The aesthetic is really nice, with the pixel art and lighting effects. The day/night cycle was interesting, though I wish there was something specific to do during the day other than waiting it out. I thought the difficulty started in a good place, as it forced you to engage with the leveling system before you could venture too far from the spawn location, but I do wish that the stat upgrades were more noticeable- I upgraded speed what felt like 10-15 times and still could barely tell that I was moving faster. Also it was a bit frustrating catching villagers when they always run a perfect line away from you- if they chose a direction away from you but only switched directions on some set cadence it would feel a little more satisfying to chase them. The villager/inquisition behaviors were great though, I was surprised to find a full sightline system where you could hide and they'd lose track of you, it added depth to the gameplay. Very nice job!

it looks sooo cute! i like the day night cycle theme but i got skill issued so hard during the day

The atmosphere is very well done, I do think the game could ramp up a bit slower, it feels like I am overwhelmed by villagers almost immediately

Nice artwork, lighting and atmosphere! The Diablo-style UI done with pixel art is a nice touch, haven’t seen that before :) I also like how the cycle forces you to not go too far away from your pursuers so that you are ready to strike back when the night starts.

I found the game a bit tough. Maybe increasing a good chunk of your health on a kill would be nice. Or a bit faster movement. Maybe turn into a bat that makes you faster but also doubles all received damage while in that form?

In any case, this is a really great looking little game with a ton of charm and atmosphere. Good work!

Pretty cool, simple game loop and nice pixel art
