  • I really enjoyed the art style. If you're going to pursue this game after the jam, please replace the player character with a wisp. I think the animation on the player character kind of took away from how great the world him is. There were a few bugs. You can walk away from reading notes and the note won't go away until you interact with the note again. You have a sword, but I didn't see any sword swinging in the finger spider boss fight. That was just confusing to me. Otherwise, I think you all are onto something. Thanks for the fun!
  • The GDD is very well structured and very informative! In terms of playability, there is nothing to write home about. The combat system feels a little too limiting and the picking up of notes/starting of dialogue should prohibit movement, so the player can not run around with a note stuck to their screen. The art both visually and audibly is very nice. In terms of the theme and cleverness, it fulfills the themes and implements them into gameplay, however they are implemented in the most basic idea of the themes. The crafting system is fairly intuitive, while leaving a bit of guessing, as to what to do with certain parts.

Love the creepy atmosphere, wish there were more upgrades for the boss battles cause the last part is sooo hard.
