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!
