itch.io

Loved the music and cutscenes, the rest, unfortunately, not so much.

For context -  I played the game till the end.

I gonna list some harsh-looking criticism here, please don't take it personally. I know from my own experience that making games is really hard.

Overall experience:

Due to technical imperfections game felt uncomfortable to play. 

Any inconveniences that you faced while playing:

• Key to a chest in a bedroom did not appear in updated windows version, so in order to get a page with a song for harmonica I had to download old version and make a screenshot of that page
• VO - seems like, it went through aggressive denoise + pitch down and, I'm not sure, but seems like few of the lines contain mouse clicks at the end, thus it's not pleasant to listen too. But I appreciate the option to turn it down.
• clicking things is uncomfortable because:
  • accidentally clicking on an object that has VO-line attached  twice, or more will result in playing that full line repeatedly the number of times you've clicked
    
  • clicking on activatable object resets cursor image to default, which is also confusing
  • room transition feels too slow

Story:

I have no clue about what makes a good story (structure, tension, pacing  and other big brain words), so on a feeling alone I'd say that mystic part comes in too soon and too much. I think, having only one spirit with some buildup towards meeting it would be much better.
