Wow! Thank you so much for not only taking the time to play our entry but also provide such a lovely response.
We are well aware that the beginning is quite cryptic and confusing but are very happy to hear that you were able to figure it out (sorry for all the reading!).
Very glad to hear you enjoyed the camera positioning as it was not as trivial as some might think.
I hope the lack of mini-map was not too frustrating; it is definitely something that should have been added or at least been an easy click on / off option.
The energies harmonizing on death is definitely something that should have been added. You are not the first person to not harmonize before re-entering the portals.
Once again, thank you so much for taking the time! We truly appreciate it <3
