I can best explain the game as you are completing puzzles while walking across a tightrope. It was fun but quite time consuming for the puzzle size.

The puzzles were fun and took some time to work out, I think the main difficulty was that it was a memory game. Was I capable of remembering what I am looking for while focusing on not dying? This really made levels a challenge like the last, in which I ended up writing out notes to remember what I needed. Especially on the last level where the notes were scattered through the level.

You can’t really see in the video but a lot was cut out, mainly getting lost or a lot of dying. It was to the point that I kept walking off the edge as I was too focused on avoiding the monsters floating above.

Still it was a fun game, and I really loved the puzzles.

Wow, thank you for your video. I was worried about tightening the difficulty too much too quickly. What some see as a challenge, others find frustrating. Especially since there is no inventory and, as you write, you have to remember everything. I'll look at your walkthrough later today, and then I'll get back to you!

Thank you for your video, and phrases like: "My brain is functioning, and it kinda hurts." That made my old heart jump :D

I was afraid the puzzles would be confusing but your walkthrough was fire! And I liked that you didn't show everything, like where to get to which button at the temple, or what's in which room in the last level. I hope you enjoyed it and maybe play it again. Btw in level 2 there is reference to the cultist symbol in the room with the lockers. You can see the symbol painted on the wall.

May I ask how long the uncut time was playing it?

Thanks again, and I hope you liked the soundtrack too.

All the best, B.
