Oh, gosh, this was so delightfully creepy!! Still reeling slightly from the ending -- I chose to free the demon first because I was curious. Probably should not have been surprised at what happened LOL Then I went back to choose the other option AND IT WAS EVEN MORE HORRIFYING THAN THE FIRST??? Was not expecting that LOL Gave me a good jump (in a good way).
ANYWAY. I love how from the start, we're immersed in this dark mysterious world and can practically feel the heavy ominosity dripping off of everything, from the beautifully done BG of the castle night scene to the somewhat otherworldly and imposing music. You just know that some Serious Stuff went down here -- and that more is about to happen, too. Then the wonderful build-up to the first time we see the demon! And gosh, is their sprite so beautifully done!! All the little details??? And the deeply unnerving expressions GOD. I felt nervous with everything they said, I will admit. It was also a nice touch that the sprite itself was so big? Like, practically taking up the whole screen. It really makes us as the warlock feel very small in comparison, particularly when the demon starts taunting us.
The descriptions of the horrors that follow after both choices is good, it really sent chills down my spine. Like. That moment when the music just suddenly drops. It was very well done. And GOD *THAT* EXPRESSION OF THE DEMON. I think that's going to be burned into my retinas for a while LKDAJFLAKS It was incredibly unsettling. I'm left wondering if this could really be the end??? Like, is the demon truly gone now?? Something about the whole vibe and uncertainty hanging over everything make me question if it really is.
At any rate, this was absolutely fantastic and really left an impression in my mind, from the visuals to the descriptions to just the sheer heaviness of the vibe on my soul dlkajfslkda Loved this a ton!
