- I found the music to be a fun listen, and the artistic style was a nice choice for this type of game. Narratively speaking, I felt that I was able to grasp the use of both themes, along with the description of your game as well. The use of alchemy to describe a need to change the way the world is, and the use of shadow to speak towards the theme of secret societies or hidden knowledge. I found both of these to be uniquely crafted. However, I do wish there was more to explore with the story, so I could see part of what direction you were heading. Overall, I do believe this did a nice enough job expressing your interpretations of the themes, and the creativity behind it was interesting enough to me while playing. So even if there wasn't much for me to experience, I would like to see more in the future, so keep up the good work.

Tell us about your game!
In a world where there is no sun, you’re an alchemist whose purpose is to create the sun seed to bring light back to the world after a cult brought a God into the world who cast shadow upon it. In your journey you evade and hide from the deadly shadow monsters who kill with a touch.
The player will follow an alchemist called Whisper through a landscape destroyed by shadows. In the game you will look for ingredients to transmute “the sun seed”, a legendary item that has the power to return light to the world. Each item needed to create the sun seed can help you run away from the shadow beasts. While running around you can find a variety of notes that tell the story of the fallen city through the perspective of its residents.

Really love the atmosphere you created here! The low-contrast, shadowy colour pallette for the art is great.
