So the first thing I did was turn around. I saw a friendly angel behind me! I ran toward them and... my bones were ground to dust. Okay, lesson learned!
The second time I was careless with my salt use and ran out.
The third time I succeeded in this strange, apple ceremony!
I liked the grainy effect during the night time, it helped with the spooky atmosphere. I do think 'spooky' is the term to use, rather than a more traditional horror game. It was tense to complete the ritual without getting dusted bones, but it's not what I would consider to be a creepy or unsettling game. (Which is fine by me!) I also really like the post-game music. And the levity of the text compared to the darker tone of the gameplay.
I also appreciate all the tips on the game page, I would have had a lot more trouble without them!
