Very fun game, struggled at first with fighting, but got a hang of it after some trial and error! Big fan of the visual direction reminds me of FAITH which I really like! Great Work :D

This is an incredible well made entry with awesome art and a very nice mechanic. It was kinda easy but literally awesome

Really nice game. I liked the atmosphere, and the art is unique. The only thing that disappointed me was the game over screen when I lost my sanity. I was hoping for something more unique, like a secret ability. Or maybe just a unique way to lose, like a story thing (you become one of those monsters or something like that). The way it is, it just feels like the HP label was changed to Sanity. Other than that, this game is one of my favorites for this jam. Really good work.

I really love the atmosphere of this game. It has a nice tutorial (I actually died in the tutorial, I laughed quite a bit at that), and the art is just amazing. It's increadible what you can do with just three colors, really great job. The bosses felt a bit simple, but this game is all about the art and atmosphere, and with the sanity exchange mechanic, I don't feel like it would benefit much from having harder bosses since then you'd have a really hard time managing your sanity. Overall, an amazing job, really good game!

Cool style and aesthetic of the game! Found out about crusifiction weakpoint only on the last boss tho, but second and first weren't much of a challange anyways ... Good responsive controls are quite neat.
Overall - great game!

This game looked great, I really enjoyed the art! Difficulty wise, I feel like it was on the easy side, but for a jam game, thats not necessarily a bad thing. Good job!

I like the art and the pallets used are very fitting. Love the boss introductions and the game take.

Really cool looking art and great use of the exchange theme. I do feel like the sanity regain rate was high enough that taking damage/switching to BROTHER form wasn't as much of a risk as it should have been. Maybe having a health bar alongside the sanity meter could make the game more challenging.

I'm a sucker for great graphics. 5 stars.

The visuals in this game are super cool! I did feel like I could just spam in sister’s form for the first two bosses. Normally I don’t have a problem with games being easy, but this game was just far too easy. I think it has a lot of potential, and the difficulty just needs to be ramped up a bit.

Great game, lovely visuals,I Adore the page background, we have matching boss names as well, Great game overall.

Great concept and visuals, but I feel like the sanity mechanics aren't punishing enough. Still a great experience regardless!

Amazing pixel art!

This game looks absolute amazing. It does miss the gameplay part of gaming though. To me, there is currently no challenge in the game. I'd recommend checking out this video video link yayyyy to get an idea of how you can think of gameplay! I'd really love to see what you could create with some really good gameplay and this artstyle. Keep at it!

Good job, the game has a lot of mysteries to explore. Simple but interesting imagery The battle is easy to play, but don't be careless until you run out of sanity. I like the art style And the game art theme is also demon-themed, awesome!.
