THIS IS INCREDIBLY COOL. I can't tell you how much fun I had with this, I was really immersed when playing. Idk if you were going for a spooky vibe but I was shitting my pants the entire time I was in the monster world. The forge mechanic was also super well made, never felt like I was making useless garbage, and felt really rewarding after I crafted the sword. I also like how the items don't disappear when switching stages. Incredibly well done, my favorite game of the jam.
