The atmosphere and art style are so cool and well done, the exploration mechanic and the parry system were really nice and fun to engage with. I never really had a use for the shop nor the pocket watch, the latter of which felt a bit redundant since I Always opened the map to check the remaining time. Overall though it was very immersive and fun, well done!
I encountered some minor bugs that affected my first experience:
1) During my first playtrhough I returned to the first enemy and got locked in combat without being able to attack and die, I had to force quit the game and restart.
2) When I respawned in the safe room during one of my playthroughs the dialogue box to choose to sleep would not disappear from the bottom of the screen until i respawned.
