Super fun concept! The audio design in this was impeccable, from the music to the voice acting to the sound effects, it was all spectacular and incredibly high quality. I thought the art-style was super charming and having to navigate through while hiding in the shadows was surprisingly challenging.

Finding the guy without having the compass was very hard, so adding that was insanely helpful, but didn't make it a cake walk. I couldn't figure out how to use potions or if I could collect them. It also took me an embarrassingly long time to realize I had to press Enter to start the game. I also noticed the sprites jittering around the screen when moving which was a little off putting.

Overall though, I would love to see the concept fleshed out more, especially with more maps and mechanics. Some other ways to navigate the shadows would be really interesting to see but perhaps you have to be careful not to be spotted using them. Great job!

Really cool concept. Love that you have to avoid the sun & stay in the shadows. Also nice art & music. And even a voice acted intro. Only thing is, I felt like there was some weird camera shake. But apart from that fun game, well done! 👏

Mate, That was so good.  

Huge fan of the shadow hiding  mechanics, itching for more! 

that compass was a godsend( from the vampire lord himself)
