-No options menu... even for basic audio control.

-Picking up random stuff, equipping. There seems to be no hotkeys to equip something... mildly annoying when changing several gears at once.

-Way too much lore for me to care about when only 10% of it is visible in a tiny window and has the formatting of a wall.

-First thing I did was walk into a collision-less wall because I thought it was a secret and instead I got soft locked... Also you can get stuck in a door if you open it and stand where it ends up. Can just interact to close it again though. Anyways, it seems this way since the door-player collision only occurs if you're the one moving.

-I notice screen tearing, a lot more than usual for not using vsync.

-The tiled floor where you see the first enemy should have ansiotropic filtering applied or whatever, the pattern looks gnarly from the a distance, and takes away from the foe's presence. I killed him, it seemed easy that after the first hit there was enough hit stun that I could just spam attack to death.

-Killed the next guy, he had a bit more fight as he was dodging and guarding, the latter I didn't know I could do. Though, so far I don't see much difference between the 4 attack directions, and there's no stab either. Also, the fact that attacking while running kills all your momentum is annoying.

-UI for bars in top left might need to change? Because of the high contrast  white outline, it's hard to notice the less contrasty red blue green colors go up and down.

-Camera clips into walls easily when fast enough, you can see some white ghost stuff behind it.

-Group fight room, but I can just darksouls them and agro one at a time. In my opinion, it would be better if they all agroed at once, or do you not want the player to learn group fights? Because the player will do the most optimal strategy most of the time, or whatever.

-You can cancel an attack by pressing block, intended? Kind of seems OP to just say you can nullify the long windup, when presumably enemies can't.

-Guess the demo is over. Overall, I'd say it was fun for what it is. However, I don't really understand what the combat is trying to be, besides obtuse for the sake of it. Maybe different weapons have different moves or something to make it worthwhile. Didn't get hit once, so idk if there's anything unique from that happening. The lore seems ok from what I read, but it really needs a better presentation. Models/texture mesh well, but I see plenty of visual bugs like random purple pixels, one frame white things showing up after killing an enemy, and etc.

Keep up the good work.

Noted, thank you. the controls are in the main itch.io page but ill try to show them on screen for the next DD somehow. More weapons are planned.

Also enemies can definitely cancel attacks in the windup stage. The combat is meant to be something more like moun&blade or mordhau rather than  a soulslike.
