I feel I may be in a similar position to smukli. There was a LOT of intro and early exposition which I wasn't yet invested enough in to care so kinda lost me a little.
It's a very pretty game, the pixel art has a cool style and your tileset is gorgeous. The areas feel VERY open and wide which is an interesting choice in a stealth game where I'd expect things to be enclosed, claustrophobic and tight.
The music is a vibe, enjoyed that.
A game with a lot of potential although not particularly my jam.
