I thought this was really cool and unique You built a really great atmosphere. I wasn't able to find the exit though I found a door but it said to go elsewhere. I exploited the pickup bug and got tons of suns and agility, but still couldn't figure out where to go. I think maybe some hints would have helped. I also wish I could have made the game screen bigger.

Either way, I played it for a long time and enjoyed it! Great entry!

Incredible game!! Very nice, eerie visuals and sounds (the creature in the abyss scared the hell out of me, very nice), and I love how you draw out the maze as you go.  The character customization is a fantastic feature and really had me immersed straightaway. 

As Ecaroh.games said, I too got a little lost as the maze is quite big and some of the collectibles are a little hard to find. In the case of the snail though, I found the shape of the pathways made it very clear there would be something there, perhaps I'd missed a hint like this by breaking through walls elsewhere. 

One thing I noticed is that the ink/sun/vis pickups don't actually disappear and you can keep walking over the empty spot to get more. Also I've made it to the win screen, but didn't find out what the computer was for... Does it function? If so I'll be sure to have another go.

I really enjoyed what you've made here, and I'd definitely play more! Awesome job!

Love the character customization, the sounds are perfect! A lot of atmosphere and mystery here! Got a little bit lost and frustrated after a while. I think getting out of the abyss might have been a good place to end the story. That part was really creepy and felt very relieved to run past it, but there was no end once I ran into the red zone and kept going for a while wondering if there was a secret exit out there. Going back into the labyrinth again... there just weren't enough things for me to do after a while, and I ran out of ink so I felt kinda stuck. Would definitely play this more if there were some more puzzles and a bit more of a sense of direction. It felt like I just had to get lucky and pick the right path in order to win. Really cool concepts though, and the ink mechanics are really well-developed. Again, the sounds are perfect and super satisfying, magical. Great work overall!!
