- The artistic execution of this one was perfect. I loved the art style, the audio, and it all fit together perfeclty. The educational aspect of the game was interesting also, lots of cool tidbits and facts to discover. I did experience a bug where maybe 3/5 times I tried to launch the game, it got stuck on the main menu and never unfroze no matter how long I waited or what buttons I pressed. If I could give one piece of criticism, it would be hold the player's hand a little more in directing them at the start of the game. Other than that, this was a great entry, I would love to see where you guys take this if you keep working on it.

Atmosphere is great. Cave is too hard. I can't remember all the trap.
Glad you liked it ^^, for the hidden traps there is a book in the cave which allows you to detect them, pay close attention to what the souls say, you may find clues there
I really enjoyed this! Very well thought out, feeling of progression makes a lot of sense. Artistic execution is fantastic, atmosphere really works. Great game
Wow, that was amazing! Really didn't expect a RPG with a small story line.
What confused me a bit was that the "souls" dissapeared after I died and respawned, but that's not really game breaking or something just me being stupid and not remembering who I already talked to. I also think that the theme could've been explored further. Having educational text in the books was a nice touch, but felt more like a "Oh shit we forgot to add something educational, uhhhh, uhmmm... THE BOOKS! Yeah, put something smart from ChatGPT in there!" xD
But besides these small hiccups, I loved the game! The art style was really cool and the city burning everywhere was cool. The ending as well as some of the dialogue was funny and well written.
Good job!
I'm happy that you like the game, and indeed it would be great if the souls remained visible so that it was more logical and easier to follow, I will add it at the end of the voting period, (for the books you have good described, but it was more wikipedia ^^)
Thanks for the review dude !
This is a great game!
For the people who use a "normal" QWERTY keyboard. the timestop key is 'Q' instead of A on the tooltip.
Glad you like the game ^^, actually I forgot to change the tooltip for qwerty users, I will do it at the end of the voting period thanks for reporting it
