It's kinda interesting, I liked the visual style and sfx. But I don't think it fits the motroidvania genre.

Original entry! I don't see much of alchemy theme but is interesting, maybe need some wasd controls and more action, good entry overall

Really enjoyed playing this submission! The mechanics were super interesting and I feel the difficulty I had controlling the character added to the overall feel of the game. 

I really enjoyed the voice-over for the text,, it tends to help me get through text and actually enjoy it so kudos to you for that! 

The main issue I had was with the music. The soundtrack was dynamic, fitting for the scenes, and overall really well done, however, I do wish it would loop a bit more cleanly. Also same with some other comments I feel it's not quite Metroidvania, but it sure is a lot of fun!

Great overall submission! 

i did find the shader effect hurt to look at after a while, I got as far as the heist but, will probably return to it-  a really interesting game, not sure how metroidvaniay it is.... but still a really ambitious and unique effort! Well done!

That was an awesome story with quite a twist (which obviously i won't spoil for those who haven't played yet)

The whole atmosphere really got me into the story, the "paper" aesthetic gives it quite a unique identity as well, but to me what steeled the show was the music, the various tracks area really good and fit perfectly the whole tension of the story. 

I also really enjoyed the variety of gameplay segments there were here.

Small issue i had was that the top down movement felt a bit odd to get used to, especially since at some point you start introducing some precise stealth navigation in these segments.

Other than that it was really enjoyable and i managed to play the whole game through to the end.

Well done especially for a solo effort :)

It's a cool game! I really like the story, and the movement is really interesting. I don't think this constitutes a Metroidvania, though, and I'm not a fan of the text to speech only in some parts of the game. All in all, great game, good job!

The game shows potential to tell a good story, but the rest of the game should be also polished as well:

• The visual aspect, although it is well crafted, can make your eyesight tired very fast. The noise is a nice resource, but less is more, and reducing it would be benefitial.
• I feel like some parts of the scenery could be improved by giving them darker backgrounds. For example, the introduction where you are home.
• The main character can feel a bit out of place. The rest of the game seems to be carefully drawn and crafter, but the protagonist feels like it was made for other kind of art style
• The collisions could be improved. I remember the beginning when you have to take the car, that I didn't know how to enter because I thought I was not able to access the doors.

Keep at it, these are some minor mistakes but the game has some potential to it! 😀😀

Hi!

My eyes kind of hurt after playing for a while. Seems like a nice story, but reading white on white in combination with the noise filter really messed with me. Very nice graphics otherwise!

The music changes very often, so it would have been nice with some kind of fading between the different songs, and the music didn't loop quite seamlessly.

Very original style, please let me know if you make it less noisy and more readable and I'll give it another shot!
