I don't know if it was just me but I was having immense trouble navigating just because I found it very difficult to see anything.  The lighting and reflections were very spectacular at first but I found little meaning in them when I was battling with the visuals trying to figure out what to do next.  The rooms were so dark that I was trying too hard to make sure I didn't miss anything because I wasn't sure what to do next. I actually had to restart several times because I got lost in the darkness.

 It was a very cryptic game, but somehow I managed to beat it and make to the end. I didn't understand how some of the puzzles worked so I was brute forcing my way through everything. The light panel and spike trap puzzle was extremely frustrating and was pure trial and error for me, not fun at all. I do feel kind of smart for figuring out what to do with the sword in one of the rooms but it was a short lived feeling.

The lighting, graphics, and sound are spectacular at times, but I found it very difficult to enjoy them because the game just wasn't fun. I'm sorry, I really, really, really want to like this game because it just looks so beautiful compared to all the other games in the jam, but I just can't hide my frustrations.  :(

hey, don't apologize for your honest experience. Your frustration is on our part, it's a mix of puzzles that required further testing, our experimental visual style, the rulesets of the jam we had to adhere to and the time constrains. We tried to mix a dungeon crawler, a puzzle and a horror game which each have aspects oftentimes at odds which each other. Did you play the jam version or the updated version? The bright level is one of our favorites but when watching people play we also noticed it was the most confusing and tried to add more clarity. Hopefully you could still take away something from playing our game!

I played the jam version about an hour before the voting was going to be over.  I think I'll play the updated version later. I have to upload my game too because people have been complaining about lag and crashing. I didn't mention this earlier but your game ran very smoothly.
