Interesting entry, it looks and sounds really great! The mechanic of spawning in as a your apprentice is a really interesting idea. I think the world itself and the textures and lighting is all really intense and immersive, and I'm a sucker for any game where you start in a friendly town that you can explore for lore and info.
The only issue I really had is that the last time I played I got hit by a strange bug when I died where I guess I had buffered to many inputs and the respawn window flashed up for a second and then I was soft locked. I also was often buffering to many inputs and suddenly flashing forward and running into walls over and over again.
Nice entry!
