- I can see the shadow theme pretty well, however, I don't see the alchemy theme added other than the potions from the enemies, would like to see a little more of being able to mix potions to heal you and use items in game. The turning battle screen is a little disorientating at first, but I found it pulling me into the game and it was difficult to put down. I'm looking forward to seeing where you take this project!

Hope you have fun, and a good day. Hope you don't completely and utterly hate all the time spent playing this :P
There's a fast-forward option in the settings, along with volume controls.
I played it in edge, it does not play well in chrome.

Absolutely fascinating combat system. It reminds me a lot of FFX with the way it structured time, but because time literally ticks down, it gives you room to mess around with a lot of different levers. The werewolf thing was an interesting surprise, I was wondering why the world was spinning, and then it became obvious and that was a neat realization. The different attacks based on equipment made me like comparing them. Pretty ambitious for a gamejam to make an RPG, but I think you got the general structure of it down in a way that got my attention!
Thanks! Yea if I had more time I would have liked to put more attacks, different effects in, and balance it more :P. As it is for the most part it's pretty easy as long as you're equipping gear, until you get to the boss who can kill you lol.
