How does your game represent "Power"?
In 2 ways:

- "Knowledge is power" - you, the player, become more powerful as you learn spells from books. If you know casting word, you can use it; this means your ability to use incantations is only limited by your ability to remember them - and how fast you can type them out. Your character may die, but your knowledge of the spells you used does not.
- Magical powers - not only are the spells themselves powerful, but many have more powerful variations which can be discovered as you explore the environment.

Very unique and fun game, great job! Had some slight perfomance issues playing on an older laptop but that couldn’t stop me from having a great time :D

This is so fun! Running around and trying to type is challenging but not in an overly frustrating way. Plus finding new books is super exciting, I only wish the powers were explained. Idk what miasma does, did it hurt me?


Maybe my favourite game so far! could play for a really long time

Glad that you found that balance of typing/playing to be a fun challenge. We chose to not give away too much about what the spells do as we liked the idea that they needed to be used to undertand them. I see how that might've been confusing with the Miasma spell though; it's essentially just a poison cloud that enemies take damage from when they go through it.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it means a lot :)

The game is fun, the art is well chosen.  The fact that you need to manage typing, exploration and surviving, make its challenging which in turn make it more fun. Overall it was a fun experience.
