I got a bit of mixed feelings while playing the game.. The graphics aren't really to my taste tbh but I really like the exploration system in the game and I also liked that when the witch joins the party you can also revisit some places for some news events.
The characters were really interesting too, I really enjoyed the dialogue between them (and the kitty in the camp was cute!).
The battles were a challenge really. I didn't think they were too hard, tho I remember dying a few times. lol
I stopped playing after finding the thing in the forest (the ring was a nice touch!). I just didn't know what to do after that, it seemed like the only thing I was able to do was battle in the GAUNTLET OF DEATH! XD
Overall: I enjoyed the time I spent in the game, despite my issues with the graphics, the mapping was done well and the game mechanics worked really well. Good luck in the contest! :)
