Ahoy there!

I really loved the idea behind this story. The mirror fixing puzzle was very cool, and the characters were very distinct from each other through the art and the written dialogue.

I liked how the characters had interesting poses and good shading. The backgrounds were detailed and the subtle animated dust effect was great. I felt Merit stood out quite well, I liked her mask!

If the team wishes to update the game, it might be worth adding a save option. I wanted to save the game at a couple of points, realising there was a timer, but it was not possible. I was also disappointed at my choice in the end and that I would have to restart the whole game before choosing the other choice! (but that does mean I am quite curious about what would the alternative would be... I was engaged with the story!)

It might also be helpful to allow players to click to allow text to fully appear in the dialogue box for faster readers. Finally, smooth transitions between the new scenes would make scene changes less jarring. 

I think my favourite character is Priest Sophtah. He seems like an ever so patient servant to the Pharaoh. 

It feels like the team worked really well together on this project. I hope this submission can gain more comments/ratings/feedback because its a lovely entry and your efforts deserve to be recognised!

All the best,

Ocelot.
