Very good and visually polished game!
1) Tutorial - I really liked your take on a tutorial, very clever. One thought though - I understand, that this is intentional and should be clear to me, but I missed some sort of "you are correct" label when I did things right.
2) Artstyle - really like that one, I don't know how you did this, but it is stunning. Nothing helpful to add here from my side.
3) General experience - sadly this is not my type of games, and first time I played it without tutorial and did not understand most of the gameplay. But tutorial really helped me (but still I died in the end :D )
Nice job!
Nice game. I wished I understood the rules a little bit better, especially how damage is dealt and life is lost. Several times, I lost some life (and the game) when I thought I shouldn't have because my cards had much higher stats than my opponent. That being said, I don't usually play these kind of games so it's entirely possible that I'm missing something obvious. I made it to the volcano (but not to the top) and played in normal.
Anyway, I think it already looks and feels really nice and it has an interesting weird and otherworldy atmosphere. Good job :)
Good job for reaching the third area and thanks for playing!
Really fun game, I enjoyed it. Made it to volcano boss, but that fight is near impossible compared to everything else that came before. I believe its a good base for a great game, all you have to do is expand upon it now. Good luck!
Yep that's what I'm doing for the steam demo!
Thanks for playing ❤️
Loved this. Really reminded me of Inscryption.
The tutorial is good. My only feedback is you probably need to hold the player's hand even more. It took me a while to right click the card to use the light token, even though you had told me to a few texts earlier. I think Inscryption would have said explicitly "Right click the card" when I had to.
A few minor nitpicks:
All in all this is a great game and I can really see the potential.
p.s. BTW I had no difficulty beating any of the encounters. You might be able to make them a little harder. I hardly took any damage.
I found it was safe to presume that uncovered cards that the opponent had would only ever do 1 damage - perhaps increase the chance of those being 2 power or even a small chance they are 3 power.
Thanks for your comments on our game.
Good luck with Umblight <3

Thanks for playing!
I quickly added that extra line to the tutorial, thanks for letting me know.
I'm glad you found the game easy-ish!
Other playtesters before this update had a harder time with the game, but I think this shows that the tutorial is better now.
I'm currently working on the next version that will add a lot more depth to the 3D section of the game, and will make light a lot more useful currency that you'll be able to use in shops. There will also be some new rooms and a better story around the first boss.
If you're interested wishlist the game on steam so you'll get notified when the demo releases!
