Thank you for the kind words! It was indeed a huge undertaking for one person, but it was a fun experience making it anyway. :D
I was definitely inspired somewhat by the classic mythos, though maybe a bit subconsciously. My main inspiration came from a song so perhaps they're also indirectly related in that way!
I'm glad to hear you didn't struggle too much with the puzzles. I tried to make them interesting without making them impossible through the solo developer lens.
