I played again and discovered a passage I missed, my bad, here's part two of my review:
Walking into the ladder uses it, maybe it would be better if you had to interact with it instead?
On the island there are some mushroom that make you jump, one key aspect of game design is repetition, the way mechanics function in the game teach the player the way it's meant to be played, so it would better for the mushrooms and the ladder to be interacted in similar ways to not confuse the player.
I liked the combat, this game is pretty epic when it wants to not gonna lie.
Pretty wholesome interactions, I liked the people and even some had character development, I also like that ugly doesn't equal evil here.
Witches are op.
When I went swimming, I couldn't talk with the creature in the water.
The fact that there isn't any gameplay of this game in YouTube is criminal.
Great ending, if there's only one, then I completed the game, spectacular writing, all I can say is things will eventually get better, nothing last forever, not even pain, and who knows, maybe that pain makes the peaceful times more worth it.
So yeah, in conclusion, this game is absolute cinema and recommended to everyone, this really is a work of art and you have a great future, a lot of talent and effort here!
(I found this game using the short tag, I don't think this game is short but if it wasn't for that tag I would have never played this).
