I grew up playing Castlevania 2 (with no strategy guide...) so I had a lot of fun with this. I love the aesthetics and music, and there are even some genuinely creepy moments (seeing the treeline move with your LOS through the windows was a vibe). I'm finding lots of little references and quotes/lines, and I'm trying to rack my brain to remember how to solve the puzzles from the original. The overworld random encounters are cool and very reminiscent of Zelda 2. At the moment I'm a bit stuck with progression, as I think I've explored all of the places you have access to from the beginning, so I'll dive deeper a bit later. Great job! (PS is there a way to see hp/gold?)
