While I found the concept you presented to be interesting from the description, I was a bit surprised that most of the gameplay was only completing puzzles. Besides the narrative of using scattered notes to tell the story--which is a nice concept--I can't fully say that I was immersed in what was written. For games that are set in dungeon-like areas, my personal experience leads me to think there would be enemies I'd have to avoid while learning whatever secrets have been left behind to then try and understand the story or mystery being told. And while I believe you did a decent job presenting both themes; where my interpretation of shadow feels like 'secret societies' and alchemy feels like 'combination' (in a slight roundabout way because of solving puzzles), I cannot say fully that I truly grasped the use of alchemy in your game. Overall, again, I think this was done quite well, I just feel I may have to try at it again to see if there was something else I missed during my first experience; to see if your interpretations of the themes were expressed more than I perceived. All the same, keep up the hard work.
I like the concept and the art you got going.
maybe consider adding some enemies you have to dodge or something.
