Interesting Idea and theme, but lacks a loop or challenge.
Maybe an adversary to avoid or traps.
Keep up the good work.

- Love the style and the feel of the game. Movement gave that real nice old school vibe. I could see this being a good start to add more to, some critters or some diversion could make the world feel a bit more alive. The theme was pretty good, but something more shadowy like creatures or the walls down allow light through would make exploration more.
- Fog of war is a good interpretation of shadows. Using resources to light the crystals to push back the fog pairs well. Controls are straight forward and simple. Art style and sound effects pair well.
