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 idea, but the execution didn't quite work for me to keep playing for longer than a few minutes.

Thanks for giving it a go!

No worries if you did not find this entry especially compelling. My entries each time are rather niche, and this one I knew especially would not be everyone's cup of tea.
