Theme incorporation
NOTE: this game deals in mental health issues. It is not meant to minimize or make light of yours, and in fact has to do with my own journey in dealing with these issues in my own life.
There is a combat tutorial! You may find combat confusing if you don't watch it! You may still find it confusing. Anyway, its at: https://youtu.be/p7HrATtlVzI
I incorporated all of the themes into the title of the game. That was cheesy. But I also incorporated Solitude as a theme, as yer the only being in the maze. The Ancient Ruins are of yer childhood where you experienced complex trauma, and you have to face the Cosmic Horror of yer past Traumas. Its a stretch, but at least I'm not making you set Tea on fire this year.

Interesting game! I snorted a lot of red pills and managed to become the epitome of mental health :D
I didn't watch the tutorial video and I didn't understand what was happening in the minigame until I started winning them a few times. I still don't know what's going on exactly, but as long as you have at least one X but not too many, things are good. Repeating the process for every past trauma did get a bit repetitive, but the minigame is very fast so that's fine. Poor walls, though :D
There's a lot of button presses involved for picking up and using items, I think that that could be optimized a little more. Like picking up multiple items in one go without having to go through the menu again.
Overall it's a very unique game, and it's charming because of that. I enjoyed my playthrough :D
