• GDD is well written, and clearly defines your intention with the game. Good job. Gameplay feels solid, and I love your use of closing doors and a rapid change in music to set the tone for battles. It comes together well. It's also nice to be able to control the character at the start of the game before starting, to get a feel for how things work. That's a nice touch. Suggestion: Perhaps a limit on the two weapons so they can't be spammed constantly - particularly the holy water (even if it's just a slower fire rate, but still unlimited ammo). Overall, nice submission. Good luck and hope to see you next time.
• The concept of your game was interesting, especially after looking over your GDD, and seeing how you planned to implement both themes. I found that shadow stood out more due to the idea of instead of using shadow, you have to avoid it. As for alchemy, being able to create and change weaponry would have been nice to experience, but due to the style of play, I wasn't able to very far. I was not too keen on the 'avoidance of shadow', but having it reduce my HP so quickly and then being swarmed by so many enemies makes this feel more like a speedrun rather than a regular game to play. And while I did find the artistic style nice to look at and traverse through, the music was a good add-on, but I wish there was a way to adjust the settings so I don't have to almost fully turn down/adjust my own volume settings before playing. All the same, I did find this to be a cool idea, so keep up the hard work.
