Great game
I am curious, how far have you played; did you get to the end?
Very Clever effect and concept in the game design
The unique title and opening words are really good. I found myself reading the opening text as I would with a novel rather than searching for the skip button.
Would of really liked a sequence of set pieces that showed off the mechanics.
I am really happy to hear that. I have to admit that I used chatGPT heavily to stylize the text, but I took great care to edit and keep the argument cohesive.
I took note about the starting set piece, I don't want to force the player into a tutorial, but I will think of something.
It's a prototype for a bigger project I want to do, but this one has a story of its own and I intend to develop it a bit more, I will probably create another entry on itch and keep the one from the game jam like it is.
I like the visuals, but it got me confused several times, especially in caves, but there is something there.
Nice gameplay and UI also.
I know what you mean, maybe it needs more distinct outlines, especially for the passages. I am thinking about how to solve it for the next iteration of this see-through idea, if you have any tips I am all ears :) ...as the player of isometric games this always bothered me so much that the player can't see clearly what the character is seeing, and I am trying to solve this.
