Wow, amazing stealth game! And it had voice acting too? Overall I really enjoyed it, but the controls were a bit janky at times, I do wish it was WASD instead of click to move, but whatever, it didn't really break the experience. Also, the music was really good.

amazing game! A bit hard but the art and voice acting is so good.

This is a great game. Nice to hear some voiceacting in a jam. The rest of the audio is also really good. The graphic design is really nice although i find the filter with the stripes on the screen a bit annoying. Game is a bit hard but doable after some time. The lengh is good but i think a checkpoint in the middle would reduce frustration. And some information about the abilities would help but it was no real problem to figure out by trying. 
Had a lot of fun with this. Definitely one of my favorites. 

Well done and good luck!

Awesome. The story is great and the graphics are perfect. Voice acting keeps the game engaging even it the tutorial. Do I understand it right that you built your own engine? If yes, it is breathtaking. Amazing job.

The screenshots look very nice. Unfortunately, I'm getting this error message every time I try to open the game((

It's happened to others, redownload and try again, some times packet loss is an issue

Really cool game! It is certainly not my type of game but it looks very polished. Abilities work great and are not confusing. Sometimes I had a hard time what to do or where to go but that is more on me not understanding it I guess :D.

I really enjoyed playing this game! I never thought that magic and breaking out of a prison would go so good together, but here I am proven wrong! I love everything about this game and will definitely recommend it! Good job and keep working on it!  I think it has a lot of potential!

This game was an absolutely incredible stealth game.  I'm always interested in trying out some new form of stealth and this one definitely added a mix to the genre for me at least.  Generally I've played much slower p[aced stealth games, this one does not fit that at all.

Gives it a little spice to mix it up, especially with the timer making it clear that you should be moving fast.  Though HI do have to say I"m not entirely sure how it fits the theme, since the magic is actually real.  I guess it could be down to the magician almost using it as his catch phrase while doing real magic?  Or it could be saying that the whole thing is not real throughout ?  I'm not quite sure.

Overall though the gameplay itself is great, I'd only really point out some weirdness in movement controls, mainly with the decision for moving and aiming abilities ton the same key/control leading to some weirdness.  Almost like a twin stick shooter but without the second stick, though I personally did eventually get somewhat around it by aiming my movement target very far ahead and going from there.

Though a setting for WASD etc. movement would be nice.  Would remove some of the pathfinding weirdness messing with controls that happens at certain points, specifically I ran into an issue where the character would pathfind around the table tin the first room rather than grabbing the key quite a lot.  Not a massive problem, but definitely a little annoying when keeping in mind the cooldown on the slippers themselves.

All his magic is illusion magic. It's a double entendre. He thinks his magic isn't real, but when it is real, he makes illusions that aren't real. :) Thanks for the feedback. I think you were right on point.

The art and audio has no right being as good as it is! Plus great theme, this is bring rated pretty highly :)

(It would be really nice though if the timer didn't start until you leave the first room, that way the player isn't penalized for taking a moment to figure out the controls)
