What a lovely game. I decided I was going to beat it without any help and I... somehow did! I have no idea what I did exactly to beat it but I have a hunch:
I imagined that the lit up labyrinth relics were markers of what's a dead-end and what's not, and I followed them as such, not going into the turned off ones and just following the light. I'm like 50% sure I solved it completely by accident lol.
My remarks:
I like the writing, pretty strong and the one character who we get to see (whose design reminded me of Muffet from Undertale lol) gives off that feeling of despair pretty well. You need to change the font to something other than the default though, and this is something I notice in a lot of game jams. It doesn't take that long and it instantly makes your game look infinitely more polished.
Oh and I recognise that dialogue system lol, very cool.
