This game is a good basis for a really good game, but in my opinion, the world is too big and feels a bit repetitive to explore. I admit that in a certain sense, it makes discoveries even more incredible, but i still think a map twice as small would be enough. I think things like walksounds and a bit more fluid animations and refined and polished artstyle could add a lot to the deep and profound ambience. I also love the black and white palette. Though, I really loved your intro and it is really good especially for a first game!
