I really like it! ^^ I was walking around looking for a grave to throw the tarot card in for about 30 mins haha :')

I generally agree with what other people are saying, I think this is a great vibe, visuals are amazing. I got the feeling I might have been Zot and was looking forward to a resolution.

There's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said, I think this idea is going somewhere and I'd be interested to see where it goes :) great submission! 

Atmosphere and visual storytelling is top-notch! Although the music can get a bit repetitive. I was able to obtain the tarot card. I think that is the current end of the game right?

I was not happy about the enemies and how they worked, but after obtaining the axe I think I kind of get that you are supposed to be a bit defenseless without it. 

I felt really lost until I was able to get the axe. A bit of guidance to it would have been great, like it happens for the tarot card when you get to the note describing it

So, this game suffers from a top-down aiming bug of sorts: If you stop walking right/left, you don’t say facing in that direction, but snap up/down instead. This makes the combat a bit harder. Also, I wasn’t able to figure out how to kite enemies effectively, like, killing an enemy always hurt me too?

I like the presentation a lot, the 1-bit water ripples, the death scenes in town, the grey ladies.

I would have liked something to mix up the walking, maybe a dash, a hop, or skipping a rock? Or collecting something along the way?

I’d also add a first tip on where to find the ax (off to the left of the start), since it’s not obvious, and it gates a lot of the content.

First of all, very nice avatar xD

The game is very slow, the enemies are everywhere, you almost can't kill them and you have no map. I mean its not really a good way to do exploration game... I was even reading the notes and was hoping it will pause and let me read it, but no - i got killed. Brutal a bit.. and no really way to "git gud", you just have to know where to go. And constantly go, because pause is also not in the game. Uh.

I liked the visuals, the music also made a great mood, though was a bit repetitive after a while. I really wanted to like the game and want to finish it, but its a bit overwhelming - my first walktrough was around the whole map for like 10 minutes and I found absolutely nothing. Later found one note but was immediately killed.

Can you share a map or a short brief walkthrough maybe? Or just where is the axe?

I quite liked the notes that sort of leads you to where you need to go next; it lends itself to a mystery-solving mechanic. Though a map (even just a static one that showed the different locations in relation to each other) would have been helpful here.

I also wish I could walk a bit faster. After a while, walking from place to place gets very tedious, and I was walking around a lot, trying to find things. I also don't know if the enemies benefited the gameplay at all. I couldn't seem to kill them through attacking, so in the end, they just forced me to always keep moving, which is sort of at odds with the mystery-solving element. Having the enemies in certain locations might have been a good way to have unkillable enemies without it diluting the exploring aspect.

Anyway, I think there's some interesting things to play with here, so nice job.
