What a pleasant art style, I really enjoyed the visuals, I wish there was more animations to the monsters because they looked so cool. Also while it was a bit hard to get started, I find the essence system interesting, it was nice to have the option to try out each essence in multiple slots and kinda decide which was best for your current situation, also made it so that fighting monsters was more thrilling because a new monster meant new buffs. Good choices here, I think the game has lot of potential to grow and develop (I got pretty far I think but died to my hubris lmao) a lot further. Also really impressive amount of systems for the limited time of Game Jam. Good work.
