Thank you for playing!
You just missed the demo version update I pushed to itch.io. I remade the puzzles but kept the original puzzle as an optional bonus challenge (the entrance to it is a bit hidden on purpose).
The tone and the setting are both considered decisions. I like them but I understand there can be critics.
The combat is still in early development but I'm glad it got you intrigued.
I'm glad to read you're looking forward to this game!
