Wow this game is insane! I'm very happy I finally checked it out!
The animations were so good! The only thing that bothered me was the look of the overhand swing. I think it's because it stops at the torso rather than following through. The free hand in that animation doesn't seem to counter swing with the sword. But that's me being nitpicky.
The movement felt a little abrupt. It may just be the style you went for, but forcing a horizontal stop before jumping breaks the flow of movement. Like someone else mentioned, there were a couple "leap of faith" jumps in there because you couldn't lower the camera.
The spear mechanic was really well done! Unique and fits the tone super well! I wish it did damage in fights too.
Story was super intriguing! It was a little tough to distinguish words spoken out loud vs internal dialogue. It was also tough to see which character was speaking. Either dialogue names, directional symbols pointing from the speaker, or some subtle animation would totally help.
Great work to all who worked on this!
