Didn't think this will be a psychological horror, but here we are! The idea to twist the limitation is novel, but it's presentation that brings it together. The ending, while predictable, is still a great payoff to the tension that has been building up through out the game.

The thought of exp as some sort of addictive substance makes me uncomfortable, 10/10.

This was very creative, I love it. Awesome cinematography too with the perfectly cut fireballs (Is this what cinematography even is? Idk lol).
Altought I need to say, found it a little funny how it escalated from a single forest to the destruction of the universe on a single page flip x)

Really creepy, enjoyed the tone and theme

Great use of theme. The black white combined with the sounds and the fireball give off a good vibe. Although It would be nice if the player could do more than just press space. Like gradually build up to an overpowered state.

Looks very nice, creative idea. And a nice implementation of the theme. Although it could be more fun if the player had options.

It looks very simple, but the idea makes this game so good

"You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain"
