Theme Explanation
The games central theme is light and shadow, from the story to art style and gameplay I tried using only black and white but wasn't sure if shades between count so I guess we will see. The story is about a cults ascension.

Although I can't understand the story in the game due to language barriers, I still think the atmosphere and scenes in the game are fantastic!
I absolutely loved this. The worldbuilding was subtle, the flavor text was visceral and impactful. The sound effects and lighting played so well into the atmosphere. I was convinced at every turn that I would run into the big bad. Dark, gritty, and fits the theme perfectly. I would love to see a more fleshed out version of this. Great job!
