- I found progression very difficult, and I only got to the first patrolling NPCs, so I don't think I got to the proper meat of the game. As such, I don't know, evern after reading your GDD how you have implemented the alchemy part of the theme, since I found nothing to do with crafting in the game. However, you have a nice simple artstyle that I found really appealing.

Loved the atmosphere and audio! I love challenging games and i died a lot in this one! I'd have loved to see a checkpoint per room at least in the beginning but the lack of it made me try to learn everything by heart which can be fun itself too^^
Very good atmosphere indeed. I did die a lot and too unexpectly. It was not really clear often why I died. Good sound design and atmosphere building!
Very spooky with a neat atmosphere and interesting choice in light mechanics. You die quite quickly and death is very punishing as it sends you all the way back to the beginning. When I started my first run I completely missed the passage way at the far end of the hall because the screen was so dark but I am not sure if that is related to my monitor settings. Definitely got quite a lot of shadows and the ability to combine things, that's for sure. Good Work!
