The mapping caught my eye, but the camera work and the voice-overs are a nice touch as well. I will have to try this one.

Played it and I have to say the 'feel' of the game, the atmosphere is very nice. You've got your own style. That and the camera work I found to be the 2 strong points, in my opinion.
The voice overs (with equalizing the volume), sound effect feedback, visuals during dialogues are all things that show good technical skill.
The orb puzzles were interesting, I might try something like that for my game Dracula. Interesting to see another dark fantasy game and how you express it.
Overall, petty good for a game jam game and I think it has potential to build some fans if development continues.
My only really negative thing to say is it uses stock assets for the characters and busts (which it's a game jam that's totally normal) and some of the text in RED with white outlines was a little hard to read. I did like the red text though, so I'm not sure how I feel about it.
But overall, yeap, it's definitely good, you're most excellent with setting the mood.
(PS the dog was great XD)
