I made it out!
The game was very fun to play and had nice touches that made it even better. There is a story which adds a lot to the game. The movement is good. Combat could be a bit faster, it was a lot time wasted just waiting. That said the combat wan still interesting though easy. I think its simplicity is perfect. The hidden rooms behind walls was a nice addition. Did end up in some bug I think when I was in a fight, nothing seemed to happen for a while and I managed to get out from it by using the wait/hourglass. I see you used Sumo for the music, I though of adding that as well but did not feel like paying for the subscription. Music and sounds make a good match though and engulfs the player into the game. It is interesting all the way. Graphics is head on nice and the games scope seems good as well like it.
I think that it comes down to the combat not being that snappy.
Very good submission!
